When God created the universe, did he give planet Earth to Satan to play with?

[thaibeachlovers]

I know a lot of you don't believe in God, but seems like our species has enough evil in it for a whole mob of devils.

 

My question is:

Do you believe in the Devil ( Satan ), and if you don't why are humans so evil?

[JBChiangRai]

Which fictitious god of the 12,000 or so are you talking about?

[Countryman]

Surely all humans are not evil , I for one are not

If you don't want to answer the question why did you waste my time reading that fatuous post?

I specifically asked for clarification, which god?

IMO all humans are capable of evil, given the relevant circumstances. No one was born evil, but many became evil.

[SpaceKadet]

Yes, definitely, without any doubt.

Hail Satan!

[UWEB]

There is no God, so why should be there a Satan?

[thaibeachlovers]

If anyone doubts that humans can be utterly evil, just look at Gaza, Sudan, Mali, Rawanda ( when the genocide happened ), the Congo, any episode of colonisation. Not forgetting Stalin and the Bolsheviks, Mao and the Cultural Revolution, Idi Amin, Ghengis Khan and his mountains of heads, etc etc etc.

The history of human kind is soaked in the blood of countless billions.

You could have just answered the question.

Humans ain't evil. The are driven by their survival instinct. Some have a stronger drive than others and those will do anything to get power and wealth and crush rivals. Just the way it is....

[SpaceKadet]

Humans developed from a vey aggressive and expansive species. What did you expect.

You think Hitler was just trying to survive?

 

I have to leave the forum now, but I look forward to reading some constructive posts on the subject.

If it degenerates into the usual fatuous comments I'll ask for the thread to be closed.

I was asking the question to find out what you thought about evil in humans.

[Keep Right]

Interesting question. Was Satan, like Adam, created good and then fell? Or was he created to be what he is now? Scripture indicates that there were angels who fell from their place and into rebellion against God. Both Jude 1:6 and 2 Peter 2:4 mention angels who abandoned their positions of authority and fell. These are angels who are now kept in chains and darkness, awaiting judgement. It is not hard to image Satan being one of those who abandoned their position of authority in rebellion against God. He may or may not be bound now, but certainly his influence is widely felt in the world today.

If the concept of lebensraum isn't about survival I don't know what is, bro. Hitler has been in survival mode his entire life. Probably started with abuses in his youth.

 

People are define by the interaction of their genes with the environment they're in. Evil has some soet of force in the universe is scifi.

Thank God there is no God. Meanwhile the One God people are busy killing each other over their shared God after thousands of years.

He didn't. There is no god. Case closed.

It's like asking why Elon Musk created the world like this. 

He didn't create the world. But he, the person at least exists.

And you ask why a not existing thing created something.

Don't be surprised about the replies to a senseless question. 

[Dcheech]

 

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he did not exist.

 

 

[Chris Daley]

Whether it be through sport, art, education or diplomacy humans are the only species capable of living in peace and rising above the savage nature of other animals.

 

If we can cure Islam we would be even closer to world peace.

[KhunLA]

If we don't believe in GOD, ergo, can't believe in the Devil.  For the believers, do think about ...

,,, Man was made in GOD's image,(Genesis 1:27), means GOD is real A$$hole, evil to the core, and has no sense of humour.

[jaywalker2]

Yes, demons exist, although I don't think God gave Satan the Earth as his playground. We become too caught up in symbols and metaphors and as a result can't see the obvious. But there is a supernatural world and does impinge on our world. And there are malevolent forces that will try to tempt us down the path of evil and self-destruction.

 

Remember, 97 percent of the universe is composed of forces that we don't understand, which we refer to as "dark" matter and "dark" energy.

The average human is pretty dumb and 50% are dumber than that.

How do you extrapolate dark matter on to some malevolent or supernatural force?

 

Did the use of the word 'dark' fool you?

 

Maybe you can add the scientific proof behind your 'supernatural forces' tempting us. Are they made of leptons or quarks? Do they have mass or are they like photons?
