You need to read the book again. Satan doesn't create anything. In fact, if you pay attention, he's one of the good guys in the story. Tried to unionize the angels, gets cast into hell for it. Helps the stupid humans see the reality of their existence and place in the world. God, on the other hand, kills lots of people, tortures a few more, has his own kid killed as a bug patch to the shitty code he wrote to start with, after constantly acting like a spoiled kid who keeps losing the game he made the rules for and takes his ball home.

But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can't handle money! Religion takes in billions of dollars, they pay no taxes, and they always need a little more. Now, you talk about a good bullshit story. Holy Shit!

Satan works for God. For instance, in the book of Job it's pretty clear Satan works for God. Or in the desert, Satan is sent (by God) to tempt christ.

They are on the same team. If you pick Satan over God, you're just be sheep dogged

So you're okay with another 4 years of God? Have you ever heard of harm reduction?

Oh, I don't pick either. I think your fairytale is ridiculous. I'm just familiar with it due to my upbringing. Your god is a narcissistic dick, and I'll have no truck with him. You choose to be a sheep and that's sad.

I don't believe in God either, but you were making cringey middle school argument for being an edgy Satanist. It's childish

As Jesus Christ once said: "The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist."

If you need the threat of hell or the reward of heaven to be good in this life, then you aren't good.

I'm gonna let Thomas Aquinas answer that for me:

I live my life a quarter mile at a time. Nothing else matters: not the mortgage, not the store, not my team and all their bullshit.

That's quite the non sequitur you have there

nice ad hominem

I find your lack of faith disturbing.
