Controversial Topic: Is Satan really a bad guy?
I mean, he punishes bad people. Why should he be labeled the bad guy?

Confused God

Now that I think about it, God must have counted on mankind’s ability to suspend disbelief. Here’s an example.

God is all powerful and all knowing.

Satan is evil.

God knows this because he created everything, including Satan and evil.

Satan wants humans to be evil.

God knows this because he knows everything that has or is ever going to happen.

Satan then punishes those who do what he wanted them to do by torturing them for eternity.

God knows this is going to happen to many of his children that he loves unconditionally but despite being all powerful and all knowing, he allows it to happen.

What loving parent would knowingly put their children through that if they had the power to stop or even prevent it? That’s why he needs suspension of disbelief.
