How do we know that God isn't the evil one, promising eternal love & lying convincingly to congregations of churchgoers, to steer us from Satan? What if Satan was really the good guy, sitting back & letting us use our free will to see if we fall for God's lies??

Then Satan would actually be God, and God would actually be Satan, and we would just ask the question again ad infinitum.

The problem is that if you take the idea of " God is good " out of the equation and substituted " God is evil " in it's place all the mystery will instantly disappear and the equation will damned near solve itself.
Try it ,it works
.Scary but true.
Fortunately I'm an atheist so I don't have to worry about answers like that.

It might be Satan pretending to be a bad God and having us believe that God is bad and Satan is good.You have to be on guard all the time to prevent Satan from trapping us and taking our soles.

Then I'd want to hear from Satan. But we won't. He's quite happy skulking around in the darkness putting just enough doubt into the mind of man to cause his ultimate downfall.

i have been saying this but the only answer you will get is stupid stuff like "god is all powerful ad all forgiving" but if god was real surely we should fear him as he has the power to kill us all, and all this praying to him must get on his nerves, how do we know that god is god and not satan, he could have been lying to us in the bible! OMG!!!

René Descartes dealt with this question over 300 years ago.
