I don't believe in The Devil

I think this is probably based on the fact that people didn't know what caused bad things. But to really believe the devil made me do it. Or God is angry at us a very ignorant way of thinking. As we learn what causes natural disasters we realize there is a physical reason for these things. And as people take responsibility for their actions they don't have to claim they are being tempted by the devil. It might be a convenient way to explain bad things but it sounds more like a fairy tale to me

. It might be a convenient way to explain bad things but it sounds more like a fairy tale to me.

That is probably because you don't know it very well other than vaguely as a fairy tale.

@BibleData maybe because I believe we are responsible for our own actions. And not pawns

I believe that too. But one thing does not cancel out another @Axeroberts

and the theories of big bang losing its cred because of returned data by JWST. when do you concede that that is a fairy tail.

Maybe because you create your own gods and demons and in that way are unknowingly a pawn.

Cred? Credentials? From the Latin credit, which means belief? I don't have a problem with theories unless someone becomes dogmatic about them. Militant atheists tend to do that in complete ignorance.

When atheists have it as their main support for their epistemology; they can forward a very unsupported dogma.

Yes@Aliveshock

@BibleData most likely you don't know the God I believe in

Without a doubt, since you invented him. By thinking God isn't angry the devil isn't real you create your own.

@Axeroberts They're not assumptions. It's in your words. You take the God concept of the Bible which is popular and mysterious and you form your own individual God. You decide - does the devil exist? How does God think. You have no reference other than your own invention. It doesn't come from the Bible or anywhere else. It's yours. Lots of people do this. It isn't uncommon.

@BibleData unless God has touched your heart you can never understand
