That you can believe there would be such a tragic figure for ANY reason boggles the mind. What conceivable reason would such a being have for doing what you claim given what its fate will be in any case? What's the point? At least you have this part correct and we have nothing to do with it.
You certainly have to keep shaming posters into not discussing satan because it is a historical portion of some peoples belief systems but you do good job in letting them not it's not a part of yours and those discussions will not be tolerated here, just like your version of God.

Man is not keen to know the things of God, as no one seeks God (Psalm 14:2-3). We must be perfect, as God is perfect (Matthew 5:48). All sin is done against the eternal God, so it carries an eternal penalty. Only Jesus--the Son of God, the eternal God Himself--could pay the penalty for us, so that by His imputed righteousness we may be saved (2 Corinthians 5:21).

No, we have nothing to do with it, but the Bible teaches plainly that not all will be saved. The "second death" in the "lake of fire" is taught plainly. (Revelation 20:14-15, Revelation 21:8)
Do you quarrel with God on the matter of damnation? Who are you to do so?!

god? we are quarreling with what you say god said. God didn't say what you said he said.

when people keep referring to Satan, we need to keep calling that out as nonsense.
just because the earth was considered the centered of the universe doesn't mean we have to let people judge others based on that "historical" claim.

That will be the central issue when dealing with fundamentalists, Arach. They don't even pretend to try to test whether or not what they attribute to God or Jesus is compatible with the true nature of God and Jesus.
Especially so on a religion and spirituallity forum! Let them take those questions elsewhere.
well, maybe its the "shaming" I should be addressing. shaming is ok sometimes IMO. trying to humiliate them isn't cool on the internet. Mystic, although straight forward, is about that.
In fact, the more god/satan claims line up with science observations, the better off we all are.

Yes, it helps to control the topics, otherwise people may become to relax in thinking they can discuss all things religious.
