Most people are more good than bad but according to you if they do a single thing bad they are devil worshippers. As I stated before I had read enough Watchtower mags to realize just how lacking thought and logic your religion is.

Satan does not exist, or at least there is insufficient evidence for his mere existence let alone for him controlling 99% of the world's population.

( FACTS of history)
The encyclopedias clearly show the added pagan practices straight off the table of demons to both Christmas and Easter, to many celebrations.
Do ones actually think my teachers just make stuff up - The facts are there--They even went so far as to name the spring celebration after the false goddess involved in the rites of spring festivals, Ishtar( pronounced-easter) --Astarte in another language.( bunnies, dyed eggs of Pasch, hot cross buns added as well)
And Christmas--Santa( satan) steals 98% of the holiday away from Jesus. Jesus gets 2%, turned into a commercial greed holiday.
Satan transforming into an angel of light.( 2Cor 11:12-15
It is the same with the image of the beast. It will look good to the mortal heart.

And isn't his presidency proof of demons?

Which of course, your god would have known was going to happen, him being omnimax and all that!

And the Virgin birth and Noah's flood are taken from earlier religions. I understand that there are parts of Christians practice that are from other sourses, that is not in dispute. My MIL was JW. What I am saying is that JW is even worse than many other religions in their viewpoints about others.

I do not believe in Satan or your God and certainly not your religion. You express zero love or tolerance for others and you use your religious beliefs as a means on showing you who to be against.

Yes I eat hot cross buns but I also like scones and Mongolian food and none of that is worshipping let alone worshipping a very silly concept such as Satan. It's unfortunate that your teachers never helped you wirh the concept of thinking.

It has 0 to do with worship. It has everything to do with partaking off the table of demons( 1Cor 10:21)
By sacrificing ones self for Jesus out of LOVE--the true followers do as Jesus taught-Luke 10--Acts 20:20

With free will, there was that possibility. I never heard him called omnimax--a man made word--what does it mean? It is not in the bible.

The only exception would be in the OT days when Israel stood strong, but they fell over and over.
If that was what Satan was created for (to be the entity that tempts, tests, accuses, etc), how would he be 'rebelling' in anyway, by doing what he was created for?

Omnipotent
Omniscient


Nothing to do with free will and everything to do with your god being Omnimax. All seeing and all knowing means that your god would have know, from the outset that 'Satan' would rebel.
