Considering that only about 33% of the world population is Christian (research it if you don't believe me)

What's even more infuriating is that god is responsible for Lucifer....

Remember religion is a myth to convince the masses to obey moral laws. It has to have severe imaginary punishment to force them into obedience, and that simply doesn't make any sense on a global scale. The myth writers clearly didn't think through all the implications, and now the truth is becoming apparent.

Where the hell do you get your info from, the net? Get it someplace much more reliable next time. First of all, you do the research, the world is not only 33% Christian; not only that, but what difference does that make anyway? People find God by many different paths. A child who grows up on an African plain may not even know what "christian" even means; Do you believe that God will throw that person into hell because they were brought up without knowing who Christ is? Thats pompus.
God does not want the majority of His creation to go to hell; in fact, He states the exact opposite; He doesn't wish for even one person to perish, other than those already judged and condemned to death (satan and Angelic beings).
When Christ returns, there will be a 1000 yr. period of teaching; nobody goes to hell or anywhere else until that period is finished. All will have the opportunity to learn truth. Everyone will have the opportunity to be saved.
If at that point you do not accept Christ as King, then you are toast, period.
And as far as being infuritated about Lucifer, well aren't you very special. Maybe Lucifier is pissed off that God created you, too.

Where are you hearing all this from?

God is not responsible for putting people in purgatory.

The people that create hell are the ones who are responsible for their sufferring. The "crying and knashing" of teeth describes those who are sufferring in torment and devastation caused by their own spiritual warfare.

God created Lucifer, but cast him out of heaven because he was a fallen angel who created evil deeds. Lucifer grabs those who are spiritually weak and finds ways to create a peaceful lifestyle for these people. It's kind of a "car salesman's" approach in buying a new car, but there is a price that the customer has to pay, and that would be in exchange for their soul. Its a terrible, terrible thing.

There always has to be an opposing force to any force. And it just so happens that the guideliens that God sets for his creations are really difficult to live with in today's world. And thats why we have confession; to confess the sins that we have done. I think, on my deathbed, I should have a priest do a confession so that I die clean. If you go to confession, you don't have to be judged at the Pearly Gates is what I say. Because God or whoever is tending the gates would have a big (product placement lol) Smartboard in the clouds and would identify all of your sins. Then you'd probably have to go back down to Earth as someone else, and do it all over again.

Long story short: On your deathbed, have a priest do a confession; you will rise up to heaven with a clean slate.

first of all, God did create all the angels, Lucifer being one of them. Lucifer was He first created angel and an archangel. All angels were created with free wills just like people. Lucifer didn't like the fact that angels were to serve man and that God had all the power and that people were to honor God and no one else. Lucifer wanted power and for the people to serve and honor him. He freely decided to trun against God, thus God kicked him out of Heaven and God created hell for Lucifer to live. All the angels that followed Lucifer went to hell also. God changed Lucifer's name to Satan because the name Lucifer was a holy name that God gave him. Satan was evil and needed to have a different name to describe what he was. So, God did create Lucifer but didn't create Satan.

Why do you say that God wants majority of His people to go to hell? Where do you get this 'fact'? God is our Creator, our Father. He continually told the Israelites what His rules were and what they blesses or punishments would be. Just like I am as a mother, I teach my son right and wrong and tell him that he will have to face consequences for his actions. If I am to be a good mother and role model, I have to follow through with my rules. This is what God does all the time with us. He made 14 covenants with His people and through thousands of year God blessed them and punished them. He doesn't WANT us to go to hell. But not only does God want us in Heaven, He wants US to want to go to Heaven. We have to earn enterance and want it at the same time. God uses "tough love' with us all the time and that's not easy to do. My mother had to use tough love with me when I was 15-19 and it made her sad and exhausted, not angry. I'm sure God gets exhausted with all of our sins and disbeliefs and ignorance and arrogance and just plain stupdiity. He has LOTS of patience.

Please don't think that He wants us to go to hell. But He has told us about Heaven and hell and if we deserve hell, we will end up there.

God doesn't want the majority of his creations to go to hell. It's our choices that decide. Most people refute the Bible because of the "morals." If you took a deeper look into the world, you'd notice that most of those morals are lost, or just simply abused. (I could go into detail...) And most of the population are willing to accept anything they hear from a man who holds a piece of paper, claiming he's more intelligent than you. Me, I'd rather search for the truth than just accept everything I hear.

God wants every soul to acknowledge Christ Jesus as Messiah.
However, God will not force anyone to believe.
Accept His message to the world, or reject His message.
The real question is: Why do so many people choose hell over eternal fellowship with God Almighty?
God Bless You....Peace.

The Bible makes it very clear that God is NOT opposed to people suffering. The Plagues are an excellent example - the Bible says quite clearly that GOD is the one who hardened Pharaoh's heart, AND that he intentionally sickened and tormented the people so to make them suffer. Add the mass-drowning and mass-slaughter of innocent firstborns, PLUS his repeated commands that his followers hurt and kill people. There is NOTHING 'loving' about the Biblical God. Most Christians simply haven't read the entire Bible, and have NO idea what it REALLY says.

God doesn't want any of His creations to go to hell, which is why He sent Jesus. Lucifer was an angel that tried to rule heaven and because of that he was kicked out of heaven. God is responsible for Lucifer but Lucifer is responsible for his actions. Like my son, I am responsible for him but he makes some decisions that he has to be accountable for.

How could he be? God threw Lucifer down to hell and condemed him because he was his #1 angel and he turned on him. "For power."
Man had a chance too be cool, but he screwed that round up in the garden of Eaden by eating ftom the only lousy tree they was told not too. "Eve did".
He's gave more than one chance to get it right, what do we do?
Fight wars for power and land, We commit every sin in the newest way we can find.
Then what, We blame God for our stupidity?
