Satan - 10 ? Really? Well, it looks like an intelligent conversation just flew out the window. I guess there's no point in continuing this one anymore.

I will give the same treatment in return.
Thank you for making my point.

I just told you that I don't believe in the existence of Satan. What, am I not allowed to like dark and Gothic things of a Satanic nature? Doesn't mean I believe he exists. I admire him as a character of fiction, not literally. I do find it fascinating that this so-called "evil" character kills only a small handful of people compared to the biblical god's kill count.
God - 2,270,365+ killed (not counting the others that weren't mentioned)
Satan - 10 (part of a bet that god allowed to take place)

Seeing as we are at gridlock in this forum, Christ's words DO make sense. "Turn the other cheek." Might solve something here.

And you base this on what?
I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.

And you base this on what? All I see is an opinion, so I will introduce mine in response: His words do NOT make sense. Doesn't always solve problems when you allow people to attack you and get away with it.
It really physically hurts you to type out C.H.R.I.S.T. doesn't it?
...supposedly doesn't belief in their God.
Seems to me that if you truly disbelieved in God that Christian rantings would phase you none.
What, your life hasn't turned out right, someone close died, abuse, neglect, and you blame God?

Violence has always existed, it still exists and it will always exist. You're hoping for something that is impossible and improbable. There will always be people who hate others for whatever reasons they have. There will always be different intelligent species in the universe that hate each other for whatever reasons they have. You cannot escape it. Your fantasy is not reality.

The bashing comes from both sides. And it's ridiculous. Neither side can prove their point. That's why it's a belief. Why not spend your energy on important issues like the economy or teen pregnancy instead of attempting to prove your own beliefs?
