I'll go first:
Worst possible thing: Hell
Does God advocate it?
Yes, since he created it and allows people to go there.
Does Satan advocate it?
No, since he opposes God's plans
Why is it that the worst possible thing is desired by the most loving being?

Anthony C: Of course he desires Hell. He chose to create it.

God didn't create "hell"...pagan religion created this mythological place. The Bible doesn't support an eternal torturing of souls in an everlasting firery pit o hell. That is a Roman Catholic false doctrine and I defy you to show me the scripture where its said that sinners and unbelievers will suffer in Hell for all eternity. What the Bible does teach is that all of mankind and the earth will be destroyed except those that have been covered by the Blood of Christ. Go to
http://www.biblegateway.com and look up these terms King James version only in the Keyword search engine...
hell
hades
second death
death

Know your Bible...the Word of God over the traditions of men. Love in Christ, ~J~
PS...the worst possible thing I could think of is the suffering of children...truthfully that is what God hates too...don't believe me...look up all these terms...infants, little ones, children and you will see that at every major turning point in Bible events there was a major slaughter of children. Love in Christ, ~J~

PSALMS 100:5 For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
Philippians 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
Because God is good, it's clear that it is God who worked in you when you do and think good,
and who provoked us in doing wrong/sinful thing?
John 8:44 "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. "
and who's the devil?
Revelation of John 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
that's why the worst possible thing is desired by the most loving being is because Satan deceive them..

Just like in Isaiah 45:7 it says "I form the light and create darkness; I make peace and I create evil; I the Lord do all these things" The biblical God must be pretty bored so he created good and evil to let them fight each others to prove themselves, then in some newer translations, the word evil became calamity, still it doesn't change that Satan didn't advocate it.

I like your reasoning, it is just based on twisted and wrong reasoning.
Satan is the one that rebelled against God, and when he lost that is a prison for him. So it was satan's choice not God's. Second, people make the choice to go to hell by not believing in God and turning away from Him. So if they turn away from God and don't want to be with Him whatever He does, where should they go but to a place without Him, hell.

God does not advocate Hell, he created it for the angels who rebelled against him. As for people going to Hell, he lets you chose. As for Satan (the angel of light) he had everything but like man it is not enough. God loves you but does not force you. Satan tries to force you and will if you let him.

Ok,
1st. let me kill this off.
Agree..worse possible thing, Hell
Disagree strongly, God does not advocate it, we do, He does not allow people to go there, they make the decision to go there on their own.
Agree and disagree, Satan Does not advocate it because he does not want to go there, and yes satan opposes God's plan.

Uh - it IS true that hell exists, and it IS true that sinners (people who break the 10 commandments and the Law of God) will go there, since sin pays in death, but it is NOT true that God wants people there.
God said "I do NOT take pleasure in the death of a sinner. I do NOT want ANY body to go to hell, but that ALL should repent." He cried out, "PLEASE, choose Life, that you might live." Jesus said "I am Life", "I am the Bread of Life", "I am the WATER of Life", and "I am the resurrection and the life".
Choose life, choose Jesus, that you may live.
To accuse God of sending anybody to hell is to blame God for YOUR wicked choices to rebel and commit high treason against God, which is punishable by death in ANY society!
So don't go blaming God for YOUR choices. Rather, realize that God loved you so much, He came to earth as Jesus Christ, the Son of God, to take the penalty for YOUR sins (crimes against God), and while He had never committed a single sin, yet He actually BECAME sin on your behalf.
Because of His great sacrifice, God can now offer you a pardon for your sins.
The offer is real, but it will expire when YOU do. Right now, Jesus will be your savior (deliver you from sin and it's eternal consequences), but if you wait to meet Him AFTER you die, He will be your Judge. Really, the choice is yours, so don't go around blaming God just because YOU are too foolish to "cash in" on His offer for pardon and redemption.
Like they say, "wise men still seek Him" - are YOU wise? (you DO know what the opposite is, don't you?")

Worst Possible Thing:
The Worst possible thing is separation from God... I believe that this is what we conceptualize as hell.
Does God Advocate it?
No God wants to spend eternity with all of us... But he does not force this on us and allows us to choose to spend eternity with out him. God Allows us free will to give our choice to serve him meaning.
Does Satan Advocate it?
Yes, Satan made the choice to oppose Gods plan and try to rule himself.

actually satan would advocate it too because isnt his main purpose to steal human souls from God? He does oppose God thats true, but saying that Satan doesnt advocate hell is like saying Demons know no evil.
