In much of the country (and perhaps many other countries as well) mankind has given a large portion of the credit for our existence over to a fictional God that resides somewhere out there in a "heavenly abode". I am not saying that the Creator does not exist, only that the concept that many people have of that Creator is incorrect.
This God is all powerful, all perfect, all forgiving, all whatever....but have those folks ever considered that God is all of those things and everything else as well and probably doesn't care one way or the other about how we feel or think about any of it? Have any of those people considered the fact that their God and Satan are both part of the same being? They are not separate just as we can never be separate from that Creator. We are only one small part of that Creator. The only one that compartmentalizes their Creator is somebody that has to have a way of identifying for themselves the terms and limitations of their own personal existence. Religion is the opiate of the masses.
Consider this...if something is not acceptable to God then why does it even exist? Oh, it's because mankind is sinful you say, who says so? Have any of you actually seen or heard God sitting there on his(or her) heavenly throne that you have all created handing down a list of what is to be expected as "good" behavior and what is "bad" behavior. No. I thought not. Yet, you are willing to turn over control of your life and existence to a being that somebody else has described for you and for what? To also have a chance at a heavenly abode in good time? Is it to much to ask for people to start thinking for themselves and quit harassing those that already do? If it is here then it needs to be understood and many times tolerated because it is acceptable or it would not be here. There is no separate fictional evil bad guy called Satan. He is a boogie man that folks create to keep others of their kind in line and paying tithes on time.
Consider. Everything that you see around you was first created in the mind of the individual that helped create it. They are a "Creator" (some call these rebels, inventors, scientists, writers, artists). These are all the creative people in our lives. Shoot many of you claim to be writers, well writers are creative and thus are creators as well. So all things are first created within before it manifests without. Perhaps we are nothing more than a thought become a form of reality in the mind of the creator and combined we become
