The logically
1. God could have had his minions write an allegorical book for the Jewish people living in the middle east at the time. He can do anything--no reason he cant do this.
2. If Satan is the lord of deception--the father of lies. then it is equally as possible that he had men write these various books we call the bible to turn millions away from the one true religion of (fill in the blank). If he for example wanted people turned away from Allah so he'd get their souls--writing bad things about himself in the bible and good things about that god-might get people to believe in it.
So those people who believe in the literal bible. These two points of logic are supported by your beliefs--yet contradict them. How do you explain this.

It's okay for some of you--I know thinking for yourself is a skill y'all never learned.

And hey little--in the classic style of ignoring--you answered only the second of the two points. What say you about the first?

The bible is full of loopholes. If one actually reads it and thinks about it...not a lot makes sense.

You are mixing metaphors with this logic. It seems that you are accusing Christians of believing that God had the Bible written but that Satan could have also had it written to deceive. That makes little or no sense at all really... especially since no Christian faith believes that Satan could have written the scriptures.
The Bible is written by prophets of God throughout time. Its is a collection of writings by many, not by one. The validity of it is not in question to those who believe in it because it is written "Ask and it shall be answered..." and those who truly believe have asked for that confirmation.
The Bible says that Satan does not have "power over the earth" because he doesn't. He has the power to deceive but little more than that. Through his efforts he has recruited false priests and tyrants to try and destroy Gods children but Satan has no direct power to do anything on his own.
You want to to see the books that Satan has written? They are all over the place. "Die for me and I'll give ya a few thousand virgins"... go figure
Logic comes from understanding. Understanding comes from study. You need to spend some more time studying...

This is a non believers point of view not a believer's. All scripture is the inspired Word. How do I know this? It is called faith! My faith does not contradict itself, just those that do not believe.
The biggest lie of all is that of evolution. This single point has turn more people away from God than any other in the history of mankind. A prospective, that completely contradicts the very beginnings of as told in the Scriptures, by a non believer whose principals have not been given law status in his own community but embrace by the world as truth.
I doubt that Satan would devout time in a book that teaches about love faith and God as much as he would corrupting the mind of man.

the bible is written from prophecy... in the same maner as Nostradamus... the catholic church first introduced the bible to enslave the human race and to use the prophecies to give the church advantages... that is how the catholics were able to murder prophets knowing which would be the ones to expose the lies of the false prophets.... (heretics, they were called..)also the inquistions and the crusades were also used to extort information from prophets... those relaying the truth... in the battle a lot of information ran through the spirit... some truth a lot of symbolism.. and a lot of arguments and hidden prophecies hidden by the church over the years... that is why the bible has a duality.. for all the good stuff comes from outside religion... the christians, (of christs) work on the same principles of the catholics false prophets for profit if you will.. so now when truth comes from science or non religious people the christians are very agressive in silencing them till their (christ) can gain credit or discredit the source.... all these religious texts work on the same principle..wether by accident or by deception... the christian (christs and the catholic god) don't hold enough truth to validify the prophecies.... but as nature heals from the participation of the deceivers more truth will surface outside religion... religions are built by deception or deceivers and is counter productive to nature... there is no true religion.. only truth and nature... all yet to surface in a manner comprehensible

Satan has power over only the people who don't believe and don't worship the God All mighty. Their soul remains weak and Satan can control them and makes them do the evil things.

ummmm ok i dont believe it but you have a great point. I think God knows the begining and the end he is the Alpha and Omega so I think he is in control even though everyone thinks he isnt. He gave us free will we are the ones out of control

Satan does not have power over the whole earth. Jesus destroyed the power of Satan. Satan only has power when an individual allows him to have power.

Is this really important in a person's life? How about we stop killing eachother for little disagreements. How about we teach everyone how to read and write and let them think what they want to. How about we don't flog girls for having sex and we flog guys. how about we don't marry girls but let them marry who they love. So peace to Allah, I mean Satan.
