Unless we're playing Hearts or Golf, the high score wins.
How is this a Victory for God?

No, it isn't a numbers game. We are all given free will to choose. The ones that end up with God are the winners!!!!

In the end, Satan and all his demons will be thrown into a lake of fire and the righteous followers of God will live together in harmony. There is no score. The Victory already belongs to God. Christianity is not a scoring game, it's about a relationship with God and trying to do things to please the Creator of all things.

I am an Atheist and i think most people are good. If there was a God he would NOT be able to have lower morality then us. Like discriminating against gays. Very said that this is the best idea of God people can come up with. I bet any one i can come up with a better God.

Only the Almighty and merciful God knows where a soul goes after passing from this life into eternity. Why scorn and make light of things that are a spiritual mystery to our human and limited minds here on earth?

Satan and his "team" are going to end up in hell as well, in eternal torment, not as the Ruler of the Underworld that pop culture portrays.
So I guess the Victory is that God's will and plan for humanity goes unstopped, and He and His live forever in joyful intimacy and worship that is uninterrupted by assaults from his rebellious creation, who spends eternity powerless and humiliated, and in agony along with those who put their trust in him, and gnaws on his defeat from everlasting to everlasting.

You misunderstand. Satan and all the people who go to hell will be punished. God made hell, not Satan. God won when Jesus died on the cross and rose to life. On the cross, Satan is defeated.

Who is keeping score? Only Satan is. God loves us all, he isn't keeping score he is giving us a way out of our own caused doom. We disobeyed him, we didn't need to go through this. Satan is trying to win as many souls as he can b/c the more he gets the more he hurts God by taking his creation to which he loves.
Why is this such a hard concept for non believers to understand? It is hard b/c many people don't love themselves so how can they believe their creator loves them that much!!
God Bless

there will be more people in Hell, because in this time on Earth, evil has become the thing that is so cool ....and people want to fit in so much that they will follow the leader of evil with their so called friends right into hell, and are doing so happily, just like pigs to slaughter. And then and only then will their eyes be opened and they will realize they have been fooled by the devil and they have missed......Heaven forever...you don't want to miss it...read what you'd be missing
THE DREAM
I DREAMED ONE NIGHT TWO ANGELS CAME TO MY BED. THEY TOOK ME TO HEAVEN I FELT I HAD NOTHING
TO DREAD. WE STOOD IN FRONT OF A BIG WHITE GATE. IT OPENED SLOWLY AS WE STOOD IN WAIT.
MANY CLOUDS BILLOWED AND SWIRLED ABOUT US AS I STOOD IN AWE OF THE SIGHTS AND SOUNDS THAT
SURROUNDED US. WHAT I SAW WORDS COULD NOT EXPRESS, I WANTED TO STAY AT THIS BEAUTIFUL ADDRESS.
THE ANGELS ALLOWED ME TO LOOK INSIDE, THE BEAUTY THE MAJESTY, MADE ME CRY.
"IT'S TRUE, IT'S ALL TRUE, I KNOW THAT IT'S TRUE" I HEARD MYSELF CRY, AS TEARS RAN STREAMING
FROM MY EYES.
I KNEW WHAT I SAW WAS NOT OF THIS EARTH,THIS CREATION WAS FOR THOSE OF THE NEW BIRTH. THE
POWER, THE BEAUTY, THE SIGHT OF IT ALL WAS SO STRONG,THAT THE ANGELS SHUT THE GATES QUICKLY
TO MY NEW HOME. "IT'S NOT YOUR TIME," I HEARD THEM SAY, " WE JUST WANTED YOU TO SEE WHAT WAS
ON THE WAY," THEY SAID "YOU WILL NOT REMEMBER WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN INSIDE THE GATE, BUT YOU WILL REMEMBER WHERE
YOU HAVE BEEN.YOU MUST TELL OTHERS ABOUT THIS DREAM. THAT GOD'S WORD IS TRUE. IT'S THE REAL THING.
GOD HAS LET YOU SEE WHAT IS YOUR REWARD IF YOU WORSHIP, LOVE HIM, AND KEEP HIS WORD."
WE ALL NEED TO REALIZE THAT IT'S REALLY TRUE. WE NEED TO GET THE LOST ONES IN IF IT'S ALL THAT WE
DO. WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME, THE END IS NEAR, AND YES, IF YOU ARE LOST YOU HAVE EVERYTHING TO FEAR.
CALL ON JESUS NOW, SO YOU CAN GO TO AND YOU'LL SEE WHAT I SAW AND YOU'LL BE EXCITED TOO.
I'LL SOON BE IN MY NEW HOME,PASS THE BIG WHITE GATES. DON'T YOU WANT TO GO THERE TOO? I JUST CAN'T
WAIT!!!!
I REALLY DREAMED THIS DREAM JUST AS IT IS WRITTEN. I FEEL IT WAS INSPIRED BY GOD AND HE GUIDED MY
THOUGHTS AND MY HAND IN PUTTING THIS TOGETHER.
I AM GIVING THIS TO YOU BECAUSE I LOVE YOU AND GOD HAS DIRECTED ME TO DO SO.
I HOPE THIS MESSAGE WILL HELP YOU TO MAKE THE BIGGEST DECISION OF YOUR LIFE
TO ACCEPT JESUS AS YOUR PERSONAL SAVIOR AND TO SERVE HIM. SO YOU, ONE DAY
WILL STAND AT THE BIG WHITE GATES AND BE INVITED IN TO STAY, FOR ETERNITY.
GOD BLESS YOU

God won before the game started. It's all working out as God planned it.
When all is said & done...and you find yourself standing before Him...I pray you're standing on the right side.
If not, woe.
