The so called "Evil" antagonist of the Bible. The question comes to this: Why is he the evil one? He killed a mere ten people in the Bible, possibly more to around fifty at most, while God, the supposed good one, killed billions. The only "negative" thing he did was rebel against god, but it was a just rebel. Who would want to live under that tyrant?
So the question comes down to: Why do Christians think Satan is evil?
So are you telling me that I, Cinna, have not ever given on this forum a reason why God would kill people?
Not a logical one, only that they were guilty of some offense. You did not, however, explain why he did not go after a more peaceful solution such as a cosmic prison. Why genocide them when there are a thousand more options?
1) Blessed are those who suffer 2) There is no human on earth with faith that strong.
Using your number one, I could justify torture, murder, and general cruelty.
Using number two, then why do life threatening diseases such as cancer allegedly get healed?
They're just little propaganda boosts.
Exactly my point.
Have you ever heard of the miracle of Fatima? You should check it out, a real head-scratcher.
Nope. Can you post the link so I can come up with a logical solution, or at the very least give a small description?
2) Because sometimes God commits miracles. Signs to those who'll pay attention.
But here is the lil' kicker, he NEVER preforms on something that will not go away on its own. Amputees never have a miracle that grows there leg back, its only those that have a chance of going away on there own that they allegedly happen.

Because it is sometimes more power full then others...
Sounds suspiciously like "Let's find a phenomenon that barely resembles the miracle, and just randomly say that one was stronger!"
SATAN DID IT! That answer seems to work for you...
Well, Satan is out there to turn souls against God. Not really my fault if that's the answer to the questions. You know what answer seems to work for atheists? "We don't know, But if we could direct you over here..."
Right - so 'Satan' tempts people away from God? If God if Omnipotent why can't he just destroy Satan? A Benevolent God would protect his flock from those who tried to hurt them.
