God’s Open Secret


It is an open but often unspoken secret
that the devil is as powerful as God
in god-versus-devil faiths,
because God has never defeated the devil
once and for all
since day one.

Some might argue that the devil’s defeat will come later,
but this only means God is weaker than the devil now,
which makes him not all-powerful at all,
since day one.

(But no worries, as the duo do not exist.)

  1. I really like the way you reason things as written above. It really makes people wonder if the creator God exists.

  2. The idea of angel turning evil very much proves one important aspect of Buddhism. Indeed heavenly beings are not free of the three poisons and can in fact become evil in the form of some heavenly being. Not all things above are good. 

    If we assume that god is all powerful..all loving…all knowing. either Satan was useful or he is all powerful. 

    God has many chances to take him down based on the string of events recorded but he didn’t. For a character that one would want to damn for eternity in fire..why didn’t he if he is all loving…all powerful and all knowing? Its almost like you see a dangerous criminal running around harming others yet you didn’t try to catch him and instead he was in the mood to make a bet over Job. 

    Is he willing yet unable? Is he able yet unwilling? Is he neither willing nor able?
