How many things are done in the name of God like the holy war, guys that kill themselves with bomb bags attached to their bodies? So as it seems alot of blood has been spilled in the name of God. But I never heard anything in the name of Satan happen. Like war, terrorist attacks, forcing someone to believe in satanism. But I do hear about people forcing others to believe in christianity.
What do you think about this? Like is Satan really the bad guy, is it us, or is it God?
I want to keep it open so their are more opinions.

These things that men do is because of free will. Evil finds the opening and takes it. Without vigilence it can be as if those that are good are making the bad things happen. They are instruments by choosing with their free and fallible will. Think of us as chess pieces and we live on a chess board. It will seem a bit clearer I think.

GOD and Satan are actually just imagination (for me) they do not let war to happen nor reconciliation resume. it is actually under people's desire and control. if they want to make war, they do war, if they want them to listen, they threathen them to listen, if they want others to believe, they force them to at any cost. just think of this, people set rules and only those people can break it.

All that are adult and live in this world has had this occur to them , we all have experienced this attack. Our elders knew who this was and it was the fallin ones.Prayer is our onely hope to defeite this unholly threat to all of man kind. Always truely think about anything you do before you do it.

He {satan} is really evil because he is behind the people who makes war, kills innocent people and many more.Whether it is Christian,Moslem or atheist if he kill or kills people,Satan is behind them.God will not let the people kill if that people is in his right frame of mind.Because God is love he will not permit the killings.

I am sorry, but it seems that a lot of the evils are done in the name of good. Religious wars ring any bells. The veil of deciet might also be the bieleif in doing gods bidding, don't kid yourself: there has been much more bloddshed in the name of god then in the name of satan!

Guys martyred themselves for protecting God's religion. God does n't say to kill innocent people but He says to fight inagainst of cruelness.
Shatan is really an evil & u r wrong. People do a lot of things due to shatan. Its due to shatan that men rape ladies & little angels type gals. shatan does n't say to fight directly but he forces man to do un-moral acts e.g. drinking, raping etc.
I am a Muslim & its my belief that shatan was a pious angel but he did a mistake & God kicked him from paradise due to his that mistake. shatan is n't God but he has said to God that he'll try his best to err the people from right path but God has too said to him that His pious people'll n't follow evil & will remain pious.

Well, I'm not Christian, so I think to be the only person that should be quiet, and yet I'll tell you what I think.
I have a Pagan view about life, so I don't believe in good and bad, God and Satan. Every human being has lights and shadows, so he/she could be a good person, but he/she can always do something bad. When a person kills somebody in the name of God, he is doing something that has nothing to do with God. Is God or is that fanatic who is killing that person? So, if a person kills in the name of God, this is a choice of him/her, not of God.
I don't believe in the Jewish/Christian God, but if He should really exist, to me it's very hard to believe that a God can dictate all the horrible things written in the Bible.

Weel i think this is an interesting discussion. I do think that horrible things have happened in the past in the name of the devil, but it's not on a large scale, because not that many people worship the devil as they do god.
I do think the real question should be: is the devil necassary? I believe he is, because without evil, there would be no good. If you don't have evil good would not exist, because what would feine good as good?
