The fire burns down the forests to rejuvenate them and make the land more fertile. Do you blame the fire? Why is life so black and white in christianity and islam. God is worshipped as the creator, the preserver and the destroyer in hinduism. God cannot keep creating endlessly? Even the stars die after some time and new ones emerge rejuvenated. Why is reincarnation not more sensible than heaven hell and one life. Does this hindu philosophy not make more sense to you than an endless war between god and satan. If god created all, he created the so called satan too. Why would god create evil if the abrahamic religious theories are to be believed?

God does not need His creatures and since Satan was created by God as good but chose himself to be evil, yes God can really exist without Satan.
Evil cannot exist without goodness since it's a lack of goodness.
Evil is just a negation of the good so it cannot exist without it but the good can exist without evil as something positive, full, not a lack of something else.

The Western Abrahamic (A Brahmin) religions absorbed their knowledge from the original Vedas, the wandering tribes of Aryan origin delivered the original Puranas, the Veda was then altered and diluted due to time and circumstance, to attract the mleccha's and yavanas.
Even the basic distinction between shakti and prakriti is virtually unknown in a practical sense, hence the dichotomy and simplicity of a duality based faith system of belief being established, that will gradually allow the jiva to transcend to the sattvic platform before attaining the opportunity to achieve moksa from the wheel of samsara.

God existed without the Satan for 600 years or more. Moses had an Egyptian name and was surely influenced by the Pharoah Ikhnaton who decided to worship one god he called Aton. Moses invented one called Yahweh. This god sent both good and evil, e.g. hardening the pharoah's heart in Exodus. He also inspired David's census. During the Persian Captivity, Hebrew priests saw that Zoroaster had invented good and evil gods he called Ahuramazda and Ahriman. The Hebrews borrowed evil Ahriman and renamed him the Satan (Adversary). Then, the part about David's census was rewritten and the Satan inspired it. That makes a glaring contradiction to have verses blaming both God and the Satan for David's census. It makes a much neater system to have gods of good and evil, but the Persians had it first.

Why is reincarnation more sensible? Do the stars have the same soul? Does karma make any sense? How is it possible that all the people get together to make sure that you get what you need to fulfil your karma in every life. And who decided what punishments and rewards and rebirths go with the action that cause them? And who controls it. It seems far too complicated to work on it's own.
Does it never occur to you that just because you were born a Hindu that it doesn't make any more sense that other relgions?

Honey, you do not get uncomplicated good judgment. before everything- no info is the superb reason to no longer difficulty believing in some thing. Why could you flow any further than "no info"? i will wager you do no longer difficulty believing in fairies. 2nd- you won't be able to tutor a popular destructive logically. you won't be able to tutor that unicorns do no longer exist. 0.33- WHICH god? jointly as the popular "no gods of any form" can not logically be shown, it is attainable to tutor the nonexistence of particular gods. yet you're able to specify WHICH ONE, because of the fact the arguments variety for each.

yes. God did create satan. But God gave him a free will and satan took the evil path.

Please read my words carefully:
If you see footmark in the sand, you'll say that someone passed from here...
If you see a piece of dog sh*t on the ground, you'll say that a dog passed from here...
So what about the enormous universe, the sky, stars, planets, earth and all the beauty in it, doesn't it lead to that someone made it?!!!
Some people say that everything is created by itself after the big-bang... I won't ask you about what caused the big-bang, but I'll ask you a simple question:
If you take all the letters of the alphabet, multiples of them, and you threw them randomly on the floor. Do you expect (by a chance of one in infinity) to get a poem like shakespear's??!!
Can't you see how organized our universe is, the planets, the eco-system on earth, look even in your own body... Can you control your heart-beat? Can you control your breath while you're sleeping? Who stopped your eye-lashes from growing after reaching a certain length? Who told the baby turtles to move towards the sea and not to the earth after they come out of their eggs? Who taught the bird how to make nests?
My friend, think with your heart and brain. If you're still lost, think about the following:
Do you know how to play safe?
Your point:
If there's no God and you do all what you want in life, then nothing will happen to you after life. But if there was God and you were mistaken, then you'll blame yourself FOREVER...
Believer's point:
If there's God and I followed His commands in life, then I'll be in Heaven after life FOREVER. But if there was no God and we're mistaken, then nothing bad will happen to us after life...
Now you know how to play-safe, in case you're not convinced?
