Do you think everything is just peaches and cream when it comes to paying the price of a wicked life, and never get the punishment that the Bible says you are going to get? Do you think God just forgives everyone and lets everyone go to Heaven?

This is referring to those that do not ask for forgiveness nor acknowledges there is a God, Jesus, Heaven, or sin in the world, just happy go lucky people who are skipping around until the end of time, and get a free ride?

As I said I was talking about wicked people, but I see so many people here that are wishing and almost cursing that I believe that God is real and will punish the wicked. Read the Bible and then tell me stuff, you do not even know what is said. What do you think"throwing people in the lake of fire" means.. Yes, God does have rules, and sorry if it is too inconvenient in your tiny world to believe anything outside of the end of your nose. People, you are so wrong....

That's reserved for me and God only, not you nor anyone of the other goons people call "followers of Jesus/God/whatever"
I don't go through life happy go lucky. I've got problems, just like you. I have happiness, sadness, and every other emotion within my life, just like you. I believe in a Lord and Lady, so what? Is God such a prick as to condemn me for a simple thing as a different belief systerm? If so, then I choose my "happy-go-lucky" life, because a God like that doesn't deserve my devotion. I lead a good, honest, charitable life. I generally follow the same rules for my religion, which aren't so different from yours. So basically, the only thing going against me is the fact I believe in a different, more peaceful god with his EQUAL counterpart, a goddess.
Christianity is just too full of suppression [especially with feminine aspects], it's obsessed with evil, fear, and pain in order to get across its teachings.. So if your God happens to be the one true God, I'm sure he will understand my path.. Considering there are too many GOOD religions out there that are basically more or less teaching the same ideals and lessons, that God should accept. If he can't then he's an egotistical child who sends people to hell for simply not following the religion MAN created to follow Jesus' teachings.

I do not live a "wicked" life nor do I believe in god much less Satan, I live a good life and treat others with respect, So lets just say god does exist, is this spite-full god sending me to hell, even though I live in a good and respect-full way, I think not. Why do you care if non-believers go to hell anyway? Does god give you some special coupons redeemable in heaven if you save someone from going down the wrong path? Get a GRIP man.

In ancient Jewish tradition Satan is simply an angel doing the work that God assigned to Satan to do.
The word Satan means challenger. With the idea of Satan challenging us, or tempting if you will. This description sees Satan as the angel who is the embodiment of man's challenges. This idea of Satan works closely with God as an integral part of Gods plan for us. His job is to make choosing good over evil enough of a challenge so that it becomes clear to us that there can be only one meaningful or logical choice.
Contrast this to Christianity, which sees Satan as God's opponent. In Jewish thought, the idea that there exists anything capable of setting itself up as God's opponent would be considered polytheistic or setting up the devil to be an equally powerful polarity to god or a demigod.
Oddly, proof for The Christian satan/devil mythology is supposedly found in the ancient Jewish texts that were borrowed to create the bible. One can’t help but wonder how Christians came up with such a fantastically different interpretation of Gods assistant Satan in their theology.
Other hints about Satan’s role in human relations can be seen if you look at the name Lucifer. It’s meaning in the original tongue translates as Light bearer or light bringer. Essentially the bringer of enlightenment. The temptations of the Satan idea bring all of us eventually into Gods light. Hardly the Evil entity of Christian mythology.

There is no heaven or hell. But there is god. He is mercyful. He does not want to beat you up or somthing, because you did so to somebody else. The issue is not of reward and punishments.
The issue is of trying to improving your sole. If you are 'sinful' during your life you come to earth again , in another body and give it another try. When your sole improves with the vertues you do, you go to -something like a higher level of existance where body is not required to perform. Since at that level there is no body, there are no bodyly needs. We sometimes call this state heaven.

I don't like the idea of exchanging of doing this and that and be granted whatever. You do something because you can feel that is what you should do/ because you understand, not just being told to do so. I may not go to "heaven" but I may go to another pradise.

Satan does not want our Soul. That is a misguided statement. In fact, satan love to see humankind to go astray. Once human kind forget their "purpose of life" in this world, they can easily be duped into doing many bad deeds. This will lead them to hell after the judgement day. Satan wants as many people to join him in hell but NOT your soul. Only and only God can take your soul through the angel of death.
As for human, even if we go astray, but once we realise and repent, God may accept our repentance and we may live in heaven in the hereafter. Keep praying to the ONE God NOT Jesus the GOD. Jesus is just a messenger of God and he is not the son of God.

You find it annoying dont you?
We live our lives like your God does not exist, and that pisses you off huh?
Too bad.
Maybe you should ask yourself why it annoys you so much. Why do you need every one else to believe the same as you. Its not because you care where I will end up. Its because you sub consciously are aware of the fact that you dont know if its true.

but it's not a fact, so why would I accept it? You are the wicked one with harsh words aiming to make me feel condemned. Maybe the bible is a fairytale. Maybe there is no god.
