In the Christian hell, Satan has the responsibility of torturing everyone who is sent to him for an eternity, and even tries to drum up business on his own. What does he get out of this? Is God running the show and just pays Satan a commission to run the business, or did God set him up in business? If so, does God gets a kick-back from whatever business Satan does. What do they do with all of those souls? Surely profit is being made somewhere? Why would god create a heaven with streets of gold, and a hell with a lake of fire for no reason? Maybe God and Satan created a sort of farm or cattle business so as to consume the souls they reap. Maybe Satan only likes the evil ones because they are spicey.

Strictly speaking Satan does not torture, He is the equivalent of the Prosecutor General. God has no jurisdiction in Hell.
When the work is done Satan buys the beer for the workforce and they all have a drink to counter the heat from the Fire...

If God created everything, he either created hell or allowed it to be created. He also has the power to destroy it. I keep hearing about the end of days when the trumpets will sound; will that just be the party when the contract between God and Satan runs out? A feast of souls if you will. God makes Satan out to be a bad guy, but his actions speak different. They must be in cahoots because if I were Satan, I wouldn't be running hell and torturing people forever for free. Sure it would be fun for a while, but forever? Maybe Satan has a really short attention span.

Satan should at least be allowed to repent, accept Jesus as God, go to heaven, etc. Or is that just a human thing? Doesn't seem fair to me.

How does one know that there is no beer and sex in hell. Maybe the "wailing and gnashing of teeth" is just God trying to tell you not to go over there. I dont understand Satan's rationale either. If he exists anyways.

I mean, so many of us sin and go to hell, and he's still going to torture us for taking his side..? Yeah right..

The book of Job has them both in cahoots. Friendly conversations, friendly little bets...

6: Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them.
7: The LORD said to Satan, "Whence have you come?" Satan answered the LORD, "From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down on it."
8: And the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil?"

I thought God was Satan?

There's only one supreme being responsible for everything - so God must also be Satan.

Surely God's Omnibenevolence would not allow such cruelty.

There must be Beer Women and Gambling there, all the richest go there on a long term holiday.

Jedi Mind Trick

I was taught that Satan would be reduced to something pitiful in hell.

Ok. Now we're getting somewhere. Any idea what Satans compensation is for doing his job, and what he does with the souls that enter his factory?
