Wow, lots of posts. First off.. Let me just say that I didn't start this to debate religions. I think I've stated several times that I'm something like an atheist. I just was hoping someone could answer these headache questions that have been racking my mind for a while now without everyone getting into a big battle of.. "your religion are belong to us" ... And thanks for everyone being adults about this.
Ok.. KC, you left me with more questions.. Why was Satan left alive? Why didn't God just blink and make him not exist anymore?
And Sam, thanks. Your version is a bit different than versions I was always taught when I was a Xian, but yours actually makes sense. I was always taught that Satan was amassing an army and there would be this giant battle of the end of the world as we know it. So your answers make logical sense to me. But you also left me with more questions.
-So in your version Sam, everyone goes to Hell and then Jesus just comes down and takes who he wants? Am I understanding that right?
-Also, when Satan is trapped for the 1,000 years, does that mean nobody goes to hell or rather we go to Hell but it's not such a bad place to be anymore?
-And then when Satan is thrown into the lake of fire, who is the one torturing him? (and jokingly, how does one sign up for that job? lol)
