Without the devil God would be out of business. The Christian God needs Evil otherwise there would be no point in his existence. Since his Universe is like a judicial system it requires sinners just as lawyers, politicians, jailers require criminals to make their living. Its a self perpetuating system which fundamentally declares itself as making the world good but is secretly in a conspiracy with evil. For if everyone went straight to heaven God wouldn't have to exist to pass judgement. The whole thing is exposed as a deception. IOW Christianity is a paradox, men can neither be good nor evil and its really an impossible religion to follow.

your logic doesn't follow. If their was no sin, we would all be going to heaven, and their would be no need for judgement. Therefore we would be in complete bliss, and wouldn't have to worry about it. The Christian God, doesn't need evil. Why would he need anything?

Wrong. God has always existed. God is always the same. God is holy, righteous without sin. God made us just like Himself without sin.
Satan rebelled and took the angels under his command with him.
Satan seduced Adam and Eve and brought sin on the earth. The earth use to be perfect also. No storms, no tornadoes, no hurricanes, just a perfect and beautiful earth. Since man was given dominion over the earth and the animals, etc. when man sinned he gave his dominion to Satan. Therefore, Satan rules the earth until God decides to come and take it back. We were all dead in sin with no hope for any hereafter until Jesus went to the cross and fooled and triumphed over Satan. Jesus won back what Adam lost.
Almighty God is a very orderly God. If Adam hadn't sinned we'd all be in paradise (heaven) now communicating with God. Jesus Christ is the only God to follow. Religion has nothing to do with following Jesus.

You theory is not wrong. Period.
It's only an impossible religion if you don't understand Christianity.
Religion is man's way of trying to reach God.
Relationship is God's way of reaching us, through Jesus Christ.
Christianity isn't a religion, it's a relationship with the living God. Period.

Of the organized religions, yes, due to its own complexity, Christianity, Islam, and Judaism are all about as equally impossible. Because of the structures of Hinduism, and Buddhism, and other such religions, their authenticity is harder to disprove.

Oh yeah, the answer, YES IT IS UTTERLY IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!

In order to make Christianity 'possible' to live,one must have God's spirit in him (Holy Spirit). If you don't you can't understand it,and the bible will seem silly to you.
