Satan is a Fallen Angel who refused to obey God when he was ordered to bow to Adam and God cut him loose. It is also Satan who tempted Eve, metaphorically speaking, to eat of the apple in the garden and promised God that he would mislead and misrepresent and lead people into temptation. If you look at the world and the havoc created by needless wars, the poverty in Africa, the mudslides, tsunamis, hurricanes and tornados, it is something to be worried about. Did God create it? Have we caused these disasters by our own hand?
If we complain we must look back on our lives. God is not responsible for war. Man is. He is filled with greed. He covets another man’s wife. He commits adultery, he steals from the nation, sends children to war. Satan told God he would continue until he has won. And we allow Satan to win by our own actions. We treat our earthly home with disrespect. We go to war for the spoils. We invade the land of others in the belief that it is ours to control. We don’t own anything, and have yet to see a hearse with a body in it and the corpse’s worldly possessions going with him to the grave.
Satanic thought or behavior should be deconstructed for what it really is; a menace to society. We should not spend our time worrying for thousands of years about the power of Satan, but in our every day lives reject the temptation to do wrong. Satan only wins when we drop our guard and allow worldly things to take precedence over our soul. The soul lives forever; the body rots from the moment of death. All we take with us is our good deeds; our bad deeds will speak against us.
To answer the above question therefore, God created Satan to keep us on our toes. It will be our response to temptation that will make or break us. If we steal and take what is not ours, it is Satan talking. If we tell Satan to bugger off and get lost, it is our inner voice and God speaking to us. Heed the Word of God and reject Satan.

Actually, God did not create Satan. He created the angel that became Satan, which means resister. Much like parents that give birth to a child who later becomes a murderer. The parents did not give birth to a murderer, the child made himself a murderer.
I did not write the above. I found the 1hopefulman article and comment on my site this morning. It is wrong is it not to post to post links on other people's sites? It has happened before. How do I prevent someone from posting a comment and sneaking in a link? I do not want to be punished for someone else's doing. Thanks
Rayda, if you are saying that you did not write the article, then I can assure that I would not write that article. If you found that article in your portfolio of articles and you didn't write it, then someone has hacked into your account. Please bring it to the attention of the administrator and moderators and have it removed and change your password to a much more difficult one to hack. I only made the comment on the article and I did not put any links in the comment that I know of.
You need an Amen (lol) Keep out all the horror chatter. It's pretty simple. Get real and do the right thing. Thanks for the what seems will still be another 1000 years to get the common sense of it all.
