If Satan is bad, why does he punish people who are evil?

I wondered this aswell. Then after watching South Park, I realised that to not punish everyone, makes you not pure evil, but he still admires their evil and uses them against God. S09E04

Or just look at lil b's post.

because hes a ***

that's because he is deprived of the art of "reflection", and it's in his ego that causes this lack or deprivation of reflection. the act of reflection causes us to gain intelligence about ourselves and the world around us, without this insight, we are just like animals and can easily "cannibalize" our own system, family, friends, etc. it's the lack of understanding b/c of the deprived or missing reflective exercise, that allows him to think he is ok with eating his own, even if his own is loyal. remember the bible says "pride comes before the fall", and that's b/c the ego will blind us of our ability to reflect, and if we aren't reflecting, we will fall or lose our grasp of things.

this becomes a circular argument, as if satan (or those who follow his creed), decided to reflect on their behavior enough to only reward evil, they too will start to feel the strong division b/t what is good and evil, which would cause them to distan the outcome, how can you receive good for evil (all the time), just in the reflection of it would cause them to rethink the outcome, why rec'v good for evil, when what they really hate is "goodness", once they start to reflect on "goodness" it will start to rub off on them, and they won't be good followers anymore.

Christian mythology makes no sense when taken literally.

well, then let's call "evil" negative and good "positive". why would people who worship a negative outcome want to use positive to get them there, if what they really hate is anything positive to begin with? and you are ignoring the ego structure, that argument about the ego structure has nothing to do with mythology or Christianity.

Life is never that simple. People strive for duality in life more often then idealism.

but you assume that idealism is the marriage of dualities, when idealism could be resting on one side of duality.

Karma.

You do not understand Karma. The hope is that if you do good things, good karma will come your way, and generally that does work. However, Karma is not just your Karma, but the cause and effect of all things and people around you. Karma is to complex to predict, and may appear to be chance.

Good Karma is a term that helps in teaching about the noble paths.

People should act as if they're magnets. Because you draw to yourself what you put out.

Hateful lies.

So you believe that people should not treat others as they would wish to be treated?
