Thank you for this. I normally say God is the Alternate Devil. God is omnipotent and omniscient, so he knows what the devil will do before the devil does it. He makes the “devil” do these things because it is all part of “God’s plan. ”god” and the “devil” are the same entity. If they are not the same entity, it means the devil is so powerful that God has no power over him. Cancer, disasters, suffering, etc. cannot be the plans of an “all-loving” god. I don’t believe in monotheism because an omnipotent god who loves us all would not allow us to go astray so he can punish us in hell for not following one path out of many when he could just make that one path the only path. Based on personal experience, I acknowledge primordial forces, divinities, and a supreme being. These are not limited to one religion or book. Every “holy” book was written by man, and men lie. Atheism is more logical to me than monotheism. Atheism argues against any god; monotheism argues that only one of all gods is true. Monotheists argue that a god who creates a man into a Buddhist family, knowing he would be Buddhist, would punish him eternally in hell for not practicing another religion entirely. What a loving god. The concept of god as “good” is flawed and cannot be defended with “the ways of God are beyond human comprehension,” “don’t question god,” etc because god allows too much evil for no reason. Imagine “allowing” the devil to test a man by killing his child. Where is the sense in that? I could go on, but I’ll stop here. The devil is the alternate side of God.
