Satanists accept a pre-Christian concept of Satan derived from the Pagan image of power, sexuality, and virility as a life principle worth emulating. They do not consider Satan to be a living diety but a force of nature that has few points of similarity to the Judeo-Christian or Muslim concept of Satan.
Then why did god go ahead and create everything, while he knew what chaos humans were going to cause, all the sins, etc.? It also doesn't make sense to say "god gave us free will", while he knew beforehand what a certain individual was going to do with his life - if god really knew what an individual was going to do with his life before creating him, then god created that person to perform all the 'choices' - so, free will and choice falls away, because god defined what that person will do with his life. If god knows a person even before he creates one, then god also knows all the choices and reasons for the choices that person will make - so it's god who'se to blame for every person's actions - he is the creator. It doesn't makes sense. There is either a god or there is free will - the two does not go hand in hand.
He created everything for his own reasons. Presumably one reason was to create something in his own image.
Ive already previously explained how being omniscent does not affect free will. Clearly, your argument has no legs.
or one, saying that because God is all-knowing that therefore he is the one controlling people is wholly false. His knowledge does not affect your ability to make a decision. You have a choice, whatever it is YOU decide, he already knows. You dont seem to really understand the concept of being omniscent.
If I know that you are going to say something stupid within the next 48 hours, does that mean I forced you? Most certainly not, you did that all on your own. God knows the choices people will make but the keyword there is choices.

"create something in his own image" 😱 Then god must be just as chaotic and idiotic as humans.
clickclick, you're funny!
No, clickclick, YOU dont seem to really understand the concept of being omniscent. If god is a creator, then he defined the human being in its entirety - he created all the choices every human will make. Your arguments are utterly crooked and retarded...it's a miracle god doesn't strike you dead with a bolt of lightning!
"create something in his own image" eek! Then god must be just as chaotic and idiotic as humans.

No, God is changeless. In likeness too is not the same as, exactly as is.
Created choices? No, I wouldnt say that. He created the ability to make choose instead of being forced.
Clearly define your argument and I will respond in depth if necessary.

You clearly don't recognise the logic in my argument.
And how exactly do you know there is a god???
