Ah sorry. Different optics of christianity. So... he created a prison... GOD CREATED HELL TO TORTURE PEOPLE. WOW, WHAT A MERCIFUL AND KIND SAVIOR.

If he's God, can't he just change their personnality?

He gave them free will, and they rebelled against Him thinking they were greater than Him. Now let's get back on topic.

Your failure to understand what Christianity is all about is astounding considering it's simple enough that even children can get the gist of it.

Obviously, it wouldn't prevent every attack, it probably wouldn't even prevent a quarter of them. But to have even the slightest levels of mitigating tactics on that particular front could potentially save lives in the future.

No, man became imperfect with the fall.
God knows we can sin but urges us to not sin.
God is also willing to grant us mercy if we show genuine repentance for our transgressions.
People suffer when they break the rules is nothing particularly shocking.
God created Hell. Hell is a prison with Satan being it's longest and greatest prisoner.
No, not all evil is due to Satan. I'd actually say most evil is our own doing.

Jihadi's tend to be quite auth, yes. However a lot of them follow Marxist or leftist thought economically, Hezbollah being an example due to the state ownership of multiple sectors as well as local communal interference as well. Libya under Gaddafi serves as an example and Iran practices is own unique blend. (Mainly due to sanctions)

Honestly, I probably should've taken the raw numbers into consideration. This is why I don't work in an intelligence agency or anything logistical.

See, if I was God, i would make Jesus appear in everyone's mind. That way it would be impossible for the Aztecs not to know Jesus.

Then again, if i was God i wouldn't create Lucifer, since i wouldn't want a scapegoat :D

That's because your idea of religion is a very poor one. Even Richard Dawkins has a better grasp and all he can do is handle the lowest hanging fruit.

He created Hell for Satan and his angel coup-friends. Why throw Hitler in jail after his coup attempt? Why should any government throw coup participants or rebels in jail then?

That's what you're trying to say to me.
