In Defense of Evil part 3 of 3: Satan was the Good Guy in the bible. God was the bad guy.

My hope is that you will take the debate serious and do your due diligence in refuting my claims, as I'm sure you will. Introduction, In this debate, I will show Satan as a hero who stood up to a powerful, unjust and evil creator God. It took true courage to stand up to this supposed all powerful being. Satan is a hero who should be honored not a villain who deserves blame for all of society's ills. I will begin by showing how truly evil the god of the bible truly is. Once this being's evil nature is understood we will have a proper context to understand our hero's (Satan's) actions. Part one: The Abrahamic god is evil God does evil things, 1. God repeatedly orders genocide. In Joshua 6:20-21 God orders the slaughter of every man, woman, child and animal slaughtered in Jericho. Seriously why? The is clearly the act of a sick sadistic being. It's one thing to invade a city it's quite another to slaughter children, women and animals while doing it. This is not the only time God orders acts of genocide. Samuel 15:1-3 god gives the same orders against the Amalekites. In Deuteronomy 2:32-35 God gives the same order against the people of Heshbon. In Deuteronomy 3:3-7 he gives the same order against the people of Bashan. I did find one instance of genocide god orders where he doesn't kill everyone. He lets the virgins live as spoils of war it's in Numbers 31:7-18. God's history of genocide is enough to prove him evil but unsurprisingly the bible gives more examples of God's evil nature. 2. God enjoys receiving human sacrifices. Judges 11:30-39. God has a man sacrifice his daughter as payment for helping him kill the Ammonites. In Genesis 22:5-12 God requests that Abraham sacrifices his son. This time god decided to pull out and pretty much said "April fools" and allowed Abraham's son to live. Still what type of sick god jokes like that. You can say it's a test of faith, but it doesn't change the fact that you'd have to be one sadistic God to test somebody in that way. 3. God values men WAY more then he values women. In the story of Sodom and Gomorrah found in Genesis 18 and Genesis 19, you can see this. Lot takes in 3 male guests to his home. The residents of The city demand that Lot let them rape his guests. Like any good host Lot says "no don't rape my guests"(paraphrasing). Great so far right? But, hold on Lot then follows this up by saying "rape my daughters instead"(paraphrasing). When God's messengers saw how great of a guy Lot is they decide to save his family from the Genocide that God has a direct hand in. This is far from the only time God condones raping women. Judges 21:10-24, Numbers 31:7-18, Deuteronomy 20:10-14, Deuteronomy 22:28-29, Deuteronomy 22:23-24 and many other instances of God showing he is cool with rape as long as it's rape of women. I could just go on forever about all the evil things God does, but at some point I must move on to show God's contempt for humans and how great Satan is. Moving on. God hates humans, 1. There is this thing called original sin everyone has just because they are human. This original is what condemns you to a carnal death and a life that sucks Romans 5:12-21. It's a rigged game you can't be sinless, and you will die as punishment for that. 2. God hates everything that makes you human. Have you ever felt even a mild attraction to someone other then your husband/wife. Well if so your an adulterer Matthew 5:27-28. 3. Do you have perfectly natural instincts for self preservation. Well, God hates that. Instead of defending yourself from your enemies, God wants you to be a door mat. Who cares if this just encourages your enemies. Matthew 5:39 4. What about another human trait used everyday by every person lying. What would the would be like if we had to tell our 5 year olds their drawing sucks or our wife that they look fat in that dress. There is damn good reasons we lie, but God would rather us going around hurting each other's feelings and resisting our natural human urges. Psalm 119:163 Don't act human God hates that. Don't even think human thoughts you'll burn for eternity in hell. Let's meet our hero 1. The serpent in the garden of Eden is where we first meet this brave soul willing to take on an extremely powerful enemy most people would rather cower and bow in front of then to oppose. The story of the garden of Eden can be found in Genesis chapter 2 and 3. God puts these 2 creatures in the Garden that are more animal then man. They walk around naked and have the animals as companions. The serpent (Satan) comes along and finds mercy on these 2 creatures who aren't quite human or animal. God puts this tree with some delicious fruit on it in the middle of the garden and commands Adam and Eve not to eat from it. Another cruel joke I guess. Satan points out to Eve that if she eats from the tree she will gain wisdom. The serpent wasn't lying Eve gained wisdom and shortly after so did Adam. If it weren't for Satan we would all still be slaves to God in his garden and also lacking wisdom. I'd definitely prefer this fate to being a stupid animal enslaved in God's garden. To sum up this paragraph God wanted man dumb Satan wanted him wise. Who's the good guy in that scenario? Who's the bad guy? 2. We meet Satan again in the story of Job. The book of Job is dedicated to this story for the most part. Satan sees that Job is a great guy that has been brainwashed by God. God has paid for Job's worship by making him extremely successful. Satan decides that he will help out Job by placing a wager with God in hopes of freeing Job's mind from it's enslavement. Unfortunately Satan wasn't successful but the story shows that God was willing to destroy a man's life to prove a point. God even allowed Job's wife to die and thought it was ok as long as he replaced the woman with a younger better looking one. 3. We meet satan in the wilderness with Jesus Matthew 4:1-11. Satan realizes that Jesus is a very influential individual. He comes to him in the wilderness while he is fasting to talk some sense into him. He offers Jesus the entire world if he will worship him. Of course no sense could be talked into Jesus and Satan could not use Jesus to free minds. Imagine the world had Satan been successful and had been able to use Jesus's influence to free minds instead of enslaving them. It should be clear by now that Satan cares about freeing minds and is therefore a good guy. The story of the garden of Eden is more then enough to demonstrate this. God is clearly the bad guy in this story. I anxiously await my opponents responses Note all bible verses can be viewed at . http://mobile.biblegateway.com....
