Everything is not God's Will. God is Love. Everything else is rebellion. Money is a system of control.
Wouldn't that mean they are also beyond gods control and/or outside of God's Plan???
Also, if God created everything wouldn't he be the one who created Hell, Child Rapists, Suffering, etc.???
If God doesn't know or experienced sin or evil etc. then he isn't all knowing. Not Omniscient.
If those things I mentioned above are outside of God then he is not ever present. Not Omnipresent.
If those things weren't created by him and in his control then he is not all powerful. Not Omnipotent.

If Satan is a fictional character then why not God?
Spiritual forces exist.
People want an "easy" way out. They don't want to bear their cross and speak out against mammon - the money system which corrupts and destroys.
