A Belief in God is a Belief in Lucifer

I agree with Rick Wingrove from The Assertive Atheist, there is no money in being an atheist. I say it's all in the sheepish religions that horde money better than anyone on Earth. Well, religion and the oil companies. The only difference is oil companies gouge the wallet and religion gouges the brain, wallet and your entire life. But, that's not what I want to focus on at the moment. I want to talk about the other Christian god. Do not be mistaken, I know the Christians meld three things and call it one (Father, Son, and Holy Ghost) which on paper and in practice doesn't make much sense, but we'll just play along with their game.

So who is the other Christian god? Surely there can't be any other god besides god himself!

Blasphemer! Away! Off with his head!

Let's define god or the qualities of being a god.

Definitions of god on the Web:

- the supernatural being conceived as the perfect and omnipotent and omniscient originator and ruler of the universe; the object of worship in ...
- deity: any supernatural being worshipped as controlling some part of the world or some aspect of life or who is the personification of a force
- a man of such superior qualities that he seems like a deity to other people; "he was a god among men"
- idol: a material effigy that is worshipped; "thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image"; "money was his god"

The "personification of a force" phrase really describes religion. The Hindus have different gods representing forces (i.e Shiva - destroyer) much like the Ancient Greek gods. As for all Christian sects and the Muslim faith, there are only two sides - like the sides of a coin - good and evil.

I'll have Wingrove explain further:

Excerpt from: The Other Xian God
"I am talking about an entity with powers apparently as strong and far-reaching as godhisownself. An entity who has the same ability to extract souls as "god". An entity who has the ability to micromanage and meddle in the lives of 6 billion individuals on this planet - same as "god". And I'm talking about an entity who, by all accounts, has a great deal more success in luring converts than "god". That's right, I am talking about Satan - by all evidence, equal in kind and equal in power to godhisownself." - Rick Wingrove

Good = God, Yahweh, Allah
Evil = Satan, Lucifer, Devil

Ladies and Gentlemen let's get ready to rumble! In this corner weighing in at infinity and living for all eternity, the man who created man and the cosmos, I give you God! In this corner also weighing in at infinity and living for all eternity, the dark lord of the underworld [aka Hell], I give you Satan!

Sure you can debate that Satan isn't a god, because God created the fallen angel, but even god couldn't contain his perfect creation; the angel Lucifer. He has the same power of suggestion as god does and he has his agenda to damn sould as god strives to save souls. The Earth is just one huge board game between the two oposing forces. Unfortunately, they're not playing Risk, but a really screwed up game of Life. Wingrove made a good point about the denial of this other god in their faith. It's because the devil is the antagonist of the black and white, good vs evil dichotomy. No one wants to recognize the antagonist as an equal to the protagonist. Good triumps evil. There are no shades of gray in religion. There are only blinders and what is absolutely right through mythological doctrine and what is absolutely wrong through mythological doctrine.

Without god there would be no devil. Therefore, a belief in god is a belief in lucifer. You cannot take one away from the equation, because they exclusively work together in the world of religion. Make a prayer to god and thank him for lucifer your other christian god.
