Something to consider: Lucifer tried to take over, but god sent him to hell. What if Lucifer really won? What if hell is really propaganda by the winning side? God seems to love punishing people (earthquakes, killing children, etc), whereas satan wants us to do fun stuff. Could it be that the power struggle ended differently than the bible claims?
Also, hell makes no sense. Why does satan punish people who piss off god? Wouldn't they all get along well? Hell would be one big party.
Sounds like a big scam. Satan is actually employed by god. :)
I read a cool scifi book once which had a bit where people tried to explain god to a sentient computer. The computer said that any "god" which demanded worship by threat of punishment was either faulty or had a severe inferiority complex. :)
I had a few books on occult stuff, but loaned them to a guy and never saw him again. Damn it. Not that I believed that stuff, it was just good reference material for games. :)
Did the quiz: Atheist You are Godless! You could care less about religion. As far as you're concerned, if you can't see, touch and kick something, it's not real to you. You're day-to-day activities consist of eating, working, sleeping and the occasional Internet or coffee shop debate. Lastly, if anyone chooses to preach at you otherwise, you will either leave or debate them until they finally shut up.
