I beleive the idea of both god and satan were invented by humans to give purpose for life. If you are good in life and dont piss people off then 'God' will reward you in another life. If your an ******* and no one likes you and your personality then when you die you will go to hell and the devil will have his way with you. I beleive it may be possible for both to be true stories to some extent. If they do infact exist i beleive they both started as humans. It all begins with choice. One chose one path and the other chose the opposite. One is looked at from morals and ethics as 'good' and the other is looked at as 'bad'. i guess it could all be your point of view. Maybe to some people its all opposite. Gods satan and satan is god. Or something like that.

Yes, I do. Just for the main fact that Satan has been on Earth all this time, he know's what it's like. Jesus was here for 33 years, he has no real knowledge of what it's like. He lived in an age much different then the one we're in today.
Ok so your basic idiotic statement in a nutshell is "The omnipotent and divine creator of the very age we live in today has no idea what it is like to walk in our shoes."
Read Matthew. Or any of the four gospels. He had every aspect of a human that we have today, except for sin. Heck he was even tempted by the Devil himself after fasting for 40 days and 40 nights. Lets put the shoe on the other foot. Could you imagine what that was like?
If you think about it, God would have to be more human than us. Besides my personal belief that God has a body, there's also the idea that Satan defied God's plan and he and his followers went to Hell. That means that they never came to Earth, and therefore never received a body. We're here, we have bodies, that's how we know that we followed God. I realize I'll get lots of anti-Christianism to this, as always, but that's just my belief.
