Who Is More Evil, God Or The Devil? by hahn(m): 5:13pm On Feb 07, 2017
It is popular belief that the Devil is more evil. No thanks to religious people who have blamed the devil anytime bad things happen in their lives and even consequences of their own actions.

But I have been thinking and also wondering, what exactly did the devil do to become so infamous?

In the beginning, according to the bible, the devil tempted Eve and she ate the fruit and as a result god punished mankind for eternity.

Let's go back a bit. God created the devil. God is omniscient and knew that the devil would fight against it. It also knew man would fall for the temptation, eat the fruit and it would also have to punish man for eternity.

Now, since god decided to do this, doesn't this make it responsible for every evil?

After all, everything is god's will which means that every evil, disease, poverty, death, eternal roasting in hell, sickness are also it's will. This also makes void any claim that there is freewill by the way since nothing is really by our or devil's will.

Then why do people keep blaming the devil for god's will as it manifests? Why don't people thank god when there is an accident or when a loved one dies or when they is an earthquake or tsunami or war that kills thousands and millions,

After all, it is only part of god's divine and perfect will.

What is your opinion?

Is there a law that says Christians can evangelize and I cannot criticize?

Belittling a little god is not that hard. Trust me

Evil is human concept applies to humans only. Just as I can't call a man evil for eating a chicken I also can not tag God evil for anything it does. That's if it exists

The theist reaction on this thread is amazing. This is the kind of mentality that boko haram justifies it's bloodshed with.

Everyone in this thread knows that the atrocities their God has committed dwarf that of Satan's. But somehow, their minds just glide over the implication of it.

Your God's a criminal, Guys. Get over it.

Men are from the earth... "dust" (Gen 3:19) and our understanding is quite finite... So, unless one knows the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, one should be silent!

But know that GOD is good, GOD is love, GOD is abundantly merciful... astoundingly making provision to save/deliver many, many from evil/wrath, at such great cost to Himself (The Lord Jesus Christ)... we have no idea.

"The Lord is righteous in all His ways, Gracious in all His works. The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth." -
Psalm 145:17-18

"But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust." - Matthew 5:44-45

The LORD reigns.

Are you talking of the same god who murdered innocent kids in Egypt? Who commanded and aided all those atrocities committed by the Israelites? The one who drowned the whole world?
Such a kind, good, just and loving god he is!

OP isn't "bashing" anything by asking a logically sound question.

How does one create everything but then absolve themselves for anything bad?

Or rather, how do followers claim that their deity did not do something that their special book claims that they did?
