From what I've read in this forum, there are many people who can't grasp how God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are the same entity.
God and the Devil being the same will trigger concept seizures.

but why can't those concepts be represented by different beings, why does it make more sense that they would be the same?

1) I'm pretty sure you don't know what the word "proficient" means.
2) Why is it the most "proficient" way?

I did ask a question.
You haven't given any reasoning for having good and evil be represented by a single entity except to claim that it's more efficient.
You are putting forward an idea, it's your job to back it up with some sort of argument. You haven't done that yet.

something being efficent doesn't mean that it makes more sense though.
I would be much more efficent if I could sleep while I was awake, but that doesn't make sense.

are you trying to say that good and evil can't be separated and therefore God should have both the perfect evil and good side?

some religions already have that concept and others entertain the idea like certain agnostic christians who think the old testament god is the devil and immanuel and the new testament god is the new cool god..
either way Zoroastrianism accept this style of belief iirc that the devil is just god's shadow and serves a purpose and must exist since one can not have light without the darkness

KMC has its moments.
If you approach any of the major faiths from their mystical angle, you'll find that God is often regarded as the infinite, ineffable ground of all being/nonbeing. By implication, good and evil are different facets of the same entity.

I suppose it's not the biggest stretch imaginable. As Mindship mentioned briefly, many religions describe God in terms of opposites, because they say the true nature of God cannot be fathomed, and other such high-minded concepts. An illogical pairing is thus the most accurate way humans can think about the divine and omnipresent, because it vexes our understanding in an analogous way.
That said, I don't think that's where the thread starter was going with his/her opening line of thought. So as a response: religion would make more sense if a LOT of things were different. But, as others have said, something being more efficient doesn't make it more logical or plausible.

To be honest, if something such as God exists, than I doubt we would be able to comprehend it. Maybe it would be as difficult as the concept of infinity or the concept of nothingness. And by comprehend, I mean truly understand.
