Satan is in control because modern man prefers pornography, money, greed, and all earthly materials over God. My ancient Fathers said this day would come where people would dwell in money and greed before they are lovers of God. And they said this would happen in the earth's final hours.

Of course, that calls into question everything else written down, but Hymn has his Christian Rock Ears on, and Knows the Truth from Holy Radio Reception!
Yup, and I'm listening to Matt Maher 'Alive Again'
That song radiates my soul with compassion for the LORD..

I have nearly 400 posts credited to my account, and you won't find (one) post where I have said "atheists are going to Hell."
I haven't threatened anyone with Hell for that matter..

I see no evidence for a supernatural, malevolent being known as Satan

But that is what you believe, right? That unbelievers will be tormented forever?

Then it *must* be the present, because, God knows this is the first period of history where people love money. Nope, it never happened before.

Who was in control when Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit?

And Ezekiel said that God would give Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar as a compensation for his failure to defeat Tyre, but that did not happen.

Why do you suppose that God predicts the future?

There is archaeological evidence that Nebuchadnezzar reigned in Egypt in 586 B.C.

Satan corrupted the mind of Adam & Eve. I wouldn't say he was in control, but the story tells us that Satan will fool you into thinking you're doing the right thing, when in reality, you're doing evil and wickedness.

Just look at the evil that is around you in the earth's final days.

Yes, that is what I believe, but the moral of my story is, you don't see me "pushing" my belief onto you.

I'm not sitting in here day after day saying "YOU ARE GOING TO BURN IN HELL!!!"

That's just complete nonsense.

If you have studied any history at all you would know that people have been brutalizing each other since the dawn of recorded history.

Christians have believed that they were living in the final days for the last 2000 years, and they will probably be saying it 2000 years from now.

The hell story is complete nonsense.

Why would God allow Satan to corrupt A&E unless God wanted the Fall of Man?
