Does "God" & "Satan" place bets on us humans?

The problem i have mostly with the "God & Satan" thing is this.

1.God himself is a "Deity"

2.Satan is also a "Deity"

3.God has the power to make humans do "Good".

4.Satan has the power to make humans do "Bad"

5.God must own 50% of humans

6.Satan must have an equal share as well that is 50%

7.God can do all things, he is all powerful

8.Satan can do all things he is all powerful

9.God cannot kill satan, if so he would have done it a a long time ago.

10.Satan cannot kill god, if so he would have done it a long time ago.

11.God created satan

12.Why can't god just destroy satan?

13.Why does god let satan temp people?

14.And most all of..Why does satan even exist?

15.If god is all knowing he should have known that satan would be his rival and equal therefor god should not have created him.

So if both of these "Deities" cannot kill each other,And they both own an equal share of humans..50/50 that means that must have made an arrangement on the lives on mankind. They must both place wagers on who and which humans to manipulate. So in other words "God" is no different then Satan, it is because of "God" satan exist!

In sometime in the past satan made a wager with god, to lure all "Atheists,Agnostics & Deists" into the pits of hell for eternity. God agreed because "Atheists" don't believe in him! they believe he does not exist when he declares that he does. God hate "Agnostics" because they won't choose he refers to them as fence sitters and god don't like fence sitters. And God hates "Deists" because they don't believe in a personal god, and believe in prayers, and most of all his beard and white robe.

Update:

@ pureblueagave

Wow? you pointed out "One" spelling error! but i don't believe in non of this fiction, Did you not read and catch all the sarcasm?

Update 2:

@soulskittles

LOL why do you think i'm going to curse you out? no it's good that you have your opinion, but however god does not love everyone if so....There would be no hell! or devil that leads humans into temptation..:)

Update 3:

@ Mr.J

Of course it's made up!..to scare people... into their religion.

Update 4:

@The 13 Year Old Atheist

I'm sorry kiddo! but i know all about "Christianity" i was an Agnostic all my life and later became and Atheist for years I then later converted to "Deism"...which is what i am now a "Deist"....

Update 5:

@ ♫"Good Times"♫

No i think you are confused!...because if there is bad in the world..then it's because of satan, satan would not exist if god did not create him, therefor god must have created evil. And therefor god is no different then satan!

Update 6:

PEOPLE I AM NOT A CHRISTIAN!!!

    OF COURSE. REMEMBER THE BOOK OF JOB IN WHICH GOD NEEDS TO PROVE A POINT TO THE DEVIL, USING JOB AS A VILE OBJECT OF HIS DIVINE VANITY???

    Okay um you're probably gonna get different answers on this one...I'm only 14 but here's my opinion....

    who says God and Satan own half of humans? God created people with a choice, they either choose God or Satan.

    God doesn't hate anybody, not even atheists, agnostics, or deists, he loves everybody, it says so in the Bible....

    as for the stuff about Why can't God just destroy Satan and all that, nobody really knows, but God has a plan....

    well that's what I believe so please don't start hatin and cursin at me just because I have an opinion

    hmmm seems like you are a bit confused my friend.

    God is all powerful...Satan is nothing.

    Satan used to be the most beautiful angel in heaven...But He wanted to be better then God. So God cased Him out of Heaven and put him in Hell. God WILL destory the Devil one day. but He first is going to return to earth and take all His followers with him. Everyone else who did not believe in him or followed him had their chance....

    JOHN 3:16

    "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, and that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

    So God will Destroy the Devil one day.

    Satan cannot and will never destroy God. EVER.

    He isnt more powerful then God.

    God doesnt ahve half the world and the Devil does not have haldf the world.

    GOD created the universe. Man sinned and that is why our world is the way it is. Whenever something bad happens it is all the Devil.

    Satan wants you to be hurt and depressed and he really hated your guts and everything that you love...so he tries to ruin your life and that is what causes the lost of faith in God.

    Jesus will always love you no matter what you do in life. You can curse him and hate Him but he will always love you.

    He wants you.

    God does not condem people. Hope you know that,

    So yeah you are pretty confused on this all. Read your Bible and you will learn more...the Bible is God speaking himself.

    Sometimes it is hard to believe things but it's all faith.

    Judging God isnt going to do anything.

    He knows what you are thinging this very moment, he sees everything you do and he knew you were going to sak this question before you even asked it...

    Hey an awsome video that you should watch and everyone should see wether they like it or not or want to see it....

    is...

    "Lifehouse's Everything Skit"

    Absolutly incredible...Hopefully you understand it.

    God bless you and take care...

    First of all, being a parent now myself, I know that a loving parent would never damn their child(ren) for all eternity, regardless of their children's beliefs or actions.

    Second, this line of reasoning is assuming that God and Satan are actual personified beings. I personally don't believe that a "Satan" even exists, except in the minds and hearts of those who need someone to blame for their poor choices. It's the religious equivalent of "Tommy made me hit him!" or "Susie told me to break the lamp!" The whole "Satan" thing is a way of NOT accepting complete responsibility for one's own actions.

    For me, God is different concept. God is not some old guy in the sky, sitting on a cloud, watching all that's going on as we humans scurry around on Earth. Honestly, I'm not even totally sure for myself what "God" is, except to say that God is about love and all of us being connected to each other on a very deep spiritual level.

    the Creator is in complete control-job 1:12 do not put forth your hand on him.

    job 2:6 he is in your power,only spare his life.

    adam and eve told their Maker to hit the road after satan (a fallen angel)convinced them to vote for his leadership-genesis 3:1-8

    so the Land Lord chucked them out of His garden and sent them on their way for the past 6000 years genesis 3:22-24.

    look at yourself,isn't that what you want for Him to keep His nose out of your business ?

    job is different,he was seeking after his Maker best way he knew how.

    the Creator intervened in his life to help him become even more righteous than he was before,even using satan the destroyer as an unwitting tool to help in this process-job 42:5-6

    there is no problem for jobs unrighteous children and servants that satan murdered because G-D will raise all the dead to life again-revelation 20.

    don't blame Him for having voting for the wrong politicians.

    the earth is 1 big school of learning by hard knocks on our own till Messiah returns to prevent the destruction of all life on the earth with the wars the hitlers amongst us love to start.

    I have thought long over the statement that "the most pure gold is refined in the hottest fire"

    Satan is the fire, trial and tribulation.

    God uses satan to refine us. It has always been His plan.

    He could have made us robots, but wanted free thinkers, and wanted them to accept Him.

    The only way to make them perfect is to burn out the imperfections.

    When He is done with satan He will cast him down and collect us.

    Satan questioned God's creation of freewill,to get an answer this has to play itself out.

    Satan was once an angel, the most powerful, but he eventually surpassed god, and he wanted supremacy. God Banished him to hell.
