Rear can cloud the mind. We see this so much in abusive relationships. The christian god is an abuser who demands love through rewards and harsh penalties.
Circular logic is quite the entrapment. ;-)
In the myth, it's now wander satan thought he could do a better job. A 6 year old looking after an ant farm could do a better job.
If I actually believed in this tyrrant, I would rather be snuffed out than be under that control for eternity.
Good thing we know its just a myth, and real power and freedom is beyond it.
