all paths lead to death, but death isent the end its just the begining. for me hopefuly i lived the life i was given in a just manor, fair to my fellow man and loving and loyal to my god. if so ill have my reward a eternity in the elysian island with thanatos, as his loyal and content servent.
i always found it funny that a god who admits to the exsistance of other gods "-- for you shall not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God--" would show the sin of pride "one true god" as well as the sin of envy "for he is a jealous god"
would have so many followers that say there is no other gods, and their way is the only true way. sounds like more envy and pride to me.

And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.

And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.

firstly i dont belive in your satan, the accuser has no relavence in my life. i have a connection to a god who was worshiped and honored long before your religion ever showed up and "integrated" (nice way of saying stole) the rites, observences and mythology of older religons. remember thou shall not steal? that went out the window real fast when your religon took yule, beltaine, samhaine , easter and thats just the tip of the ice berg. so considering your religon is young, a conglomeration of traditions of far older religons with a fresh coat of paint, based on a book that most theological researchers belive was writen by people who never even met the man they wrote about. id be careful about slinging around comments about swollowing lies.

The answer to that is scriptual.

Before Abraham left Babylon for Canaan all the earths people were one.
So then Jesus shows up 2,000 years later and says ...

The first mention of Abraham in the bible is in Genesis 11:27

I believe that anchient babylon had a hand in the reign of Jesus as it was three zoroastrian magi who delivered the goods to Jesus upon his birth.

There where more than three, and they where students of the prophet Daniel. (three wise men is a Hallmark Christmas card myth) You had me until "Zoroastrians"... *snicker* Your thinking of Freddy Mercury.
Magi (singular 'magian', 'mage', 'magus', 'magusian', 'magusaean') is a term, used since at least the 4th century BCE, to denote a follower of Zoroaster, or rather, a follower of what the Hellenistic world associated Zoroaster with, which was – in the main – the ability to read the stars, and manipulate the fate that the stars foretold. The meaning prior to Hellenistic period is uncertain.
Pervasive throughout the Eastern Mediterranean and Western Asia until late antiquity and beyond, Greek mágos "magian" was influenced by (and eventually displaced) Greek goēs, the older word for a practitioner of magic, to include astrology, alchemy and other "wisdom".
