He sent tons of innocent people who had never even heard of Christianity to Hell, but not Satan? And you're cool with that?

Since God is sending everyone off to hell, maybe Satan isn't the one we should be worried about.

at first, devil is right here on earth have confidence it or not. he's not in hell. He replaced into thrown all the way down to "roam the earth". it is not till the Apocalypse whilst devil would be thrown down into the lake of hearth (Revelation 20:10). So, your question isn't valid for glaring motives. and you may desire to understand that this guy does not try this for money. His experience somewhat does look valid (i've got listened to it some circumstances), and it is usually subsidized via scripture.

Satan has free reign on the earth until the time when God deals with him. God is working out the plan. You see, when Satan rebelled he was no longer allowed to be with God in Heaven and has the universe to roam. Man basically gave Satan the authority on earth by listening to him and causing sin to enter the universe and corrupt all the universe. So that Satan is able to use all the universe to try to influence people. God cannot destroy Satan because God cannot destroy any spirit. Spirits are eternal because that is how God made them and he cannot just deal with Satan in any way he likes because Satan has the authority to rule the earth. Satan goth this authority from man at the time of the fall. So God is working out a plan to supplant Satan by the new ruler of heaven and earth, Jesus.

Whether we are "cool" with that or not is pretty much irrelevant. God is the judge who knows everything, but people are hopelessly ignorant of all but the tiny sliver of existence that is our lives on earth. God didn't send anyone to hell because they didn't hear of Christianity, but because they loved evil and chose to practice it. As the bible says, if someone has never heard of God's commands, there is still enough evidence in creation and in their conscience to guide them through life. Don't forget, being sent to hell isn't unfair for anyone; we all deserve that fate. If God never sent His Son to die for us to make a way to heaven, that would have been ok. God doesn't owe us anything but judgement. The fact that He suffered so much because of the situation we put ourselves in shows once and for all that He is loving and merciful. For those that persist in living how they want, they have only themselves to blame for getting what they deserve.
There are two kinds of people in this world: those that will get what they deserve, and those that won't get what they deserve. The terrifying thing is that He left the choice up to us.

God is in control he does things the way that it pleases him. Satan has his date with the bottomless pit. That is what hell was made for the Devil and his angles. Hell was not prepared for mankind. Let us not go there Jesus made a way that we do not have to go. Peace and God bless

I'm "cool" with anything and everything my Lord and Savior does, thank you.
THY will be done, Father. Not ours.
Mat 6:10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as [it is] in heaven
If I were you, I'd be stockpiling lots and lots of fire retardant long drawers. Looks like you might need 'em.
