Hypothetically speaking:
So there is the Devil and there is God ...
There is Heaven and Hell.
They had an argument... The bad guy won. Won the battle and claimed the earth, the matter.
God got given the sky, the ethereal stuff.
Would explain a lot wouldn't it?

um okay. dualistic thinking is a conspiracy. i just wonder who is conspiring with whom in order to cause you to think is such simplistic terms.

With respect that is a lot of rubbish.If the bad guy had to win I wouldn't even be a Christian.There is a parable in the Gospel which tells about an enemy that planted bad seed in the night .That is the explanation for evil.I have never been able to fault the Gospel.

Explains it enough for a comic book. Where did either of these guys come from? What was the argument about? How did the "bad guy" win? Why were "matter" and "spirit" the stakes? What does any of this have to do with us?
Doesn't explain much at all.

God made the devil, God made the earth, God made heaven, God made Hell. If I can make a computer I can take it apart. If God can make it all he can do what ever he wants. If I don't like the programs on the computer I can reformat the hard drive or if it is laden with viruses and worms I can remove the hard drive and get a new one. God made a new one and it will one day be installed.

Heaven and Hell is a concept that i dont' think we can fully comprehend. All we think of is fires in hell and clouds in heaven, but thats a childish idea of what it would really be. We can't know tell we make the journey ourselves.

Wouldn't explain why people worship God on earth. Wouldn't explain how Jesus (who is God) came to earth.

The bad guy lost. Jesus overcame death hell and the grave and gave believers back the authority on earth.

This is an interesting way of settling matters if you are a believer, indeed

Not even a good fairy story but strangely a lot of people want to believe it.

The bad guy preyed upon our free will, and we complied.
God would not rescind our free will - but because he is perfect in love he sent his sent to be among his creation, and take their sin so that they could be forgiven, through faith, and spared from eternal suffering into eternal life.
