Who needs to open up their self to the devil? Our natural state is corrupt enough without him.

NO THEY DON'T WORSHIP THE DEVIL. THEY ARE CHRISTIANS.

I have heard of Christians who do not believe in hell.  It is ashamed, because if you call yourself a christian and then do not believe in eternal punishment, I guess you are calling Christ a liar.  Jesus has mentioned hell in the bible.  It is mentioned throughout the bible.  For those supposed Christians who do not believe in hell, they need to drop being christians, because Christ never lied.

Christians have always labeled people with different ideas and beliefs as pagan, savages, etc. etc.\n\nMany Christians have an honest desire to help people, but most just can't accept that they might be wrong. They think people who don't go along with the Christian movement deserve to burn in hell.

Christians dont worship Jesus, they worship God.

Yes, I believe the Devil is real. But I don't worship him. I worship God. It says in the Bible that Lucifer (the devil) was an angel in heaven. Then he tried to defeat God but it didn't work. So, God sent him to hell. We have temptations because of the devil. He's the one that makes us sin.

Would seem like it, wouldn't it?  Think without religion people would have to turn to common sense ... :)

Oh please, if I hear that "Christianity is not based on fear" crap again I'll puke.  What would you call the concept of eternal damnation?\n\nIt's fairly straightforward... fear's the easiest way to control people.  Understanding empowers the individual.  We wouldn't want that now, would we?

There is no God.\n\nNext question.

...And would heaven be redundant without hell?  Same meat, different gravy.  But while it's obvious that there are different levels of good, bad, the ugly and unadulterated evil (often found in the vestry), there is apparently only one heaven and one hell - nothing inbetween.  So what happens to the atheist who goes through life devoting every spare minute to charity, but insults god by not accepting his existence?  Or the loving christian, but who has been nicking money from the church fund all his life?  Christians make one particular claim which gets right up my true grit.  'Our god is good and is responsible for everything wonderful in the world - if anything bad happens it's nothing to do with our god.'  So I guess, yeah - if it wasn't for evil, their god wouldn't have much to be smug about, would he?

Those weren't "real" Christians.  The "real" Christians spoke up and put a stop to it.\n\n"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good people do nothing."

no one, hell doesn't exist.  It is a figment of imagination which was created to keep people in line and force them do do what their 'masters' wanted.

Everybody who believes in God must also believe in the devil. Also, there are unfortunately a lot of people who worship satan. Guess they think burning in hell is not as bad as I think it would be. An eternity in absence of God? of good? No thanks.

In a word: No.\n\nThe devil does not exist, except in some belief systems. The non-existence of a "devil" is where Judaism and Christianity really differ and separate.\n\nStop and think about this for a moment: Judaism does not have a devil. Jesus was a Jew. He was born a Jew. He HAD to be a Jew if he was to fulfil Messianic prophecy. \n\nIf Jesus was a Jew, and Judaism does not have a devil, what's going on here? It's simple: Christianity's ideas have been taken from other Pagan religions that existed before Christianity did. Many other Pagan religions have stories of two opposing deities who fight it out and good triumphs. This storyline is nothing new. Christianity has God and the devil god fighting it out, with good triumphing. (The Christian Bible refers to their devil as "the god of this world" - 2 Corinthians 4:4.)\n\nFurthermore, if the Jewish Bible teaches nothing of a devil and an eternal firey hell, then there's no need for Christian "salvation". This is why Christianity needs a devil - otherwise it becomes pointless. \n\nSome people mistakenly believe that the Jews have a devil because the Jewish Bible (the so-called "Old" Testament) mentions the satan in the book of Job. The satan is NOT the devil. In fact, the satan, the devil, and Lucifer are three completely different entities.\n\nThe story of an angel called Lucifer falling from heaven is completely unbiblical. There is no foundation for it whatsoever. The ONLY reference to "Lucifer" is in Isaiah - there is not one other reference in the entire Bible. The Lucifer in Isaiah was not the devil, and not even an angel. This was an ancient Babylonian king. If you read the entire chapter, you can see that the words are addressed to this king, telling him that he is going to fall from grace.\n\nAn interesting point to note here is that the Bible refers to both Lucifer and Jesus as the "morning star":\n\nRevelation 22:16\n"I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star."\n\nIsaiah 14:12\n"How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn!"\n\nNext, the satan. The satan is an angel who works FOR God. He tests people's faith through temptation and trials. He can only do what God allows or orders. He is not God's rival. He did not create evil. The Bible itself said that God created evil:\n\nIsaiah 45:7\n"I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things."\n\nThe verse used in the original text here for "evil" is "ra" - the same word used in verses such as "the tree of knowledge of good and evil" (Genesis 2:9). It does not mean "disaster" or "calamity". It means what it says: evil.\n\nThe satan is much like the character of Slugworth from the original movie Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Slugworth tempts the children and is seen as sinister, but at the end we find out that he was working for Wonka all along, and only following orders. He was doing so to test the children, at Wonka's request. The idea is the same. The satan tests people because that's what God created him to do. The book of Job supports this viewpoint since it shows that the satan can ONLY do what God permits - the satan can't do a thing to Job without God's say-so.\n\nThis leaves us with the idea of "the devil" which is nothing to do with Judaism at all, but an idea common among other Pagan religions at the time.\n\nSo unless you're into Pagan mythology, the answer is no - there is no devil, and no Biblical reason to believe there is.

I don't think the world would be a better place without religion.\n\nBut the world is about to find out what it's like without Christians.\n\nMaranatha!
