we all believe in a superior power named GOD who believes to be controlling n directing everything. But isnt it just a concept, an ideology put forward by man for leading themselves into discipline or jus bash over with ill doings?

First of all, God is only controlling if you allow Him to be. God does not force Himself on anyone! Those who believe in His power and grace, choose to allow Him to control their lives. We were given the gift of freewill, we are not controlled by God! Satan is not a fear of those who believe in God either. God is more powerful and if one is truly in God's grasp, Satan has no power over them. No, God is not just a concept, an ideology put forward by men. God is the creator and although many religions call Him by a different name, He is still the one and only Higher Power! This is my opinion and belief.

You are quite right with your analysis. Except that not all of us believe in a superior power named God. I, for example, do not. And there are many others like me.
There is no God as such, no supreme being high above us.
"God" is a man-made concept. As Friedrich Nietzsche put it so well: "God created man, and then man returned he compliment."
And there is no "Satan" or "Devil" either. He was invented by the early Church leaders to frighten believers and to blame bad and unfortunate events on. And even as a thought concept "Satan" is completely illogical.
If there were a God who is - as Churches tell us - all-powerful and allmighty, there could not be a Satan, since he would be eliminated by the supreme power of God. But if there were a Satan with almost equal powers to God, then God would not be all-powerful and allmighty and not a true supreme being.

I think of God as being more of a teacher then a control factor. He put the rules there and is around to help if someone needs it and is willing to accept the answers but doesn't really "make" things happen. "Satans" whole idea is basically temptation. He does his best to make you brake those rules set forth at the beginning. The biggest problem is the bible or "word of God" has been past down for so many years no one knows how many people have "edited" it to some point..possibly changing most of the original message.

Satan is a defeated foe and he is not a horror major or otherwise for true believers. He was defeated at Calvary when he thought he was defeating Jesus the Son of God. The only ones he is controlling are the ones ignorant of his devices. He has blinded the unbelievers but serious followers of Christ know how to overcome Satan and put him to flight. Become a true believer so you too can overcome. God bless you!!!

God is for real. Do yourself a favour, take a week and study all the evidence you can for and against the existence of God. Read the books of John, Romans 1 and 3, and Psalms 19 from the bible. And decide for yourself if God really exist. For it is better to find him before he finds you.

Apparently the true meaning of GOD is the absence of chaos. Hell is supposed to be pure chaos, pure chaos would drive the human mind insane. Our universe has an order to it, we call it the laws of physics. With out those laws, we could not exist. Imagine everything happening at the same time in the same place, you can't, this is chaos.

I don't believe in Satan. I do believe in God, but i don't think there is a plan for our lives, like God set a plan for us to follow and makes us suffer or what not.

Its as simple as this God reveals himself to those who value him. So those who have no value of spiritual things have no revelation therefore do not believe.So people with no revelation seek answers as to why believers believe.Some assume as you that somehow it is a plot to make people fall in line and for thousands of years these weak minded people follow a fairy tale..Its pretty ridiculous to think that people actualy believe that possible much easier to believe in god but i guess if you have no revelation and dont believe you have to come ot some explanation for why so many believe.

Nope. Your grammar isnt to hot either. I have no idea what "can anyone just brief that concept" means.
Just check out the bible all that has been has never gone against it. Israel still survives no matter who has tried to get rid of them.
