Satan is God's arch enemy, not humans. Why didn't God just wipe out Satan and his demons so that He can take all of us to heaven? Is He afraid of Satan?

God knows who will choose God. God grants our heart's true desire. If you really want to dwell with God, you will.
Don't assume most people have and are going to hell. Satan is very deceiving. Wake up!
God doesn't make us dwell with him. Either we do want to or we don't. Living for us, is living without God.
If you don't want to live for God here, why would you even want to live with God in eternity?
God is not sending people to hell, they are choosing that destiny on their own.

God created Adam in His image and Eve after that. But they opted for the other side, and we are stuck with it unless we return to The Truth as taught throughout the Old Testament and most clearly by Jesus.
Satan is the tempter and the father of lies. Stop blaming God or Satan. The choice is yours!

Who says most of them are going to hell? That's a little judgemental don't you think? Why does he let Satan live? From what I heard, and read Satan was Lucifer, God's right hand man...An angel of light, and then he wanted to rule heaven...there was a rebellion and of course Satan lost. He was banished to hell and he took 1/3 of the angels with him....Satan is the expression of the self, of free will, "do what thou wilt." God is telling us if we want to be saved and go to heaven we need to follow his rules...otherwise we perish. It is far more valuable that we are saved of our own free will rather than not having a choice. Don't you like having a choice?

God only sends followers of Satan to hell. This does not mean only "satanists". But anyone who does not love as they should. Anyone who does not follow God is a follower of Satan.

How do you know what is taking place in heaven? Besides being God must be rather boring at times...no computer games, or TV or DVDs...so a little friendly competition provides some sport. Why do Christians cast God as so serious?

God made Lucifer. Lucifer told God he wanted to rule. So god thew him out of Heaven. Lucifer told God something like,"If these humans love you so much and have freewill why can't I just control Earth." So him and a 1/3 of the Angels end-up here. They tell half truths. Like "eat the apple! You won't died." In the end God Will get rid of him.

God could've wiped Satan out. it's all about free will. humans can make choices between good and evil. in movie "the devil's advocate", al pacino plays the devil and he makes reference to the idea that Satan doesn't "make" humans do anything. he only presents the idea. it is up to the individual to put the idea into action.

This is hell, right here on earth. Hell doesn't exist. Hell was a man made idea made up by holy men who were competing for parishioners. They made up the idea of hell to put fear into everyone so they could get money to make their church grow. God is our all loving father, more loving than we would ever try to imagine. What parent do you know could throw their child into an eternal fire? I would throw myself in before my own child.

Satan was in favor of a governing agency. Heavenly Father said no to Gevernment.
Satan was in favor of everyone doing things his way "or else". Heavenly Father said no to Repressing the right to choose.
Satan said follow me and I will show you all the knowledge of man. Heavenly Father said "No....I will not give you the knowledge, you must earn it. And when you do......You will know why!"
We are in his image and must remember that we are here because of him and that we are being given the right to choose religion or Our Federal Government.

Because of their free-will choices.
Satan is not the cause of ALL evil. He does cause some Sin/ Evil.
However humans (even without Satan) are perfectly capable of choosing sin/ evil.
Cordially,
