I am only going to mention a few points because I am on my way to work. Sorry

You mentioned devout. Being devout doesn't automatically elevate a cause or a person to a lofty position. The object of the devotion is what matters. The object of my faith is the resurrected Christ.

Also- ' I first have to believe in satan'.
I do believe in satan because the Bible tells his entire history.
I hope you have a Bible so you can look some things up.

John 8:44 you are of your father the devil and you want to do the desires of your father. He is a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth and the truth is not in him. Whenever he speaks a lie he speaks from his own nature for he is a liar and the father of lies.

Also you questioned why God would send someone to hell for a lesson He knows we will not learn.

Matthew 7:13 enter by the narrow gate for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction and many are those who enter by it.

God lovingly allows us to think for ourselves. That's why the way to destruction is broad. Because everyone thinks for themselves and thinks there way is best. Our hearts and selfish and wicked so we kill our souls. why would God 'send us to hell?' We willing go to hell ourselves by walking away from Christ salvation. Free thought

Mark 3:29 whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness but is guilty of an eternal sin....

Heb. 5:9 and having been made perfect He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation.

Romans 1:19 because that which is known about God is evident within them. For God made it evident to them ......1:22 professing to be wise-they became fools....:25 for they exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator who is blessed forever. Amen.

Romans 6:23 for the wages of sin is death but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

You sound so smart and clearly you are and yet in none of our correspondence have you quoted anything or stated anything you absolutely trust in. Just lots of thoughts. You are 24 which is a good age to explore but be careful you explore something ---someONE who leads you to Truth and eternal life.

I also saw that you list atheism as one of your religions. That seems as close minded as it gets.

Read Romans in the Bible and see if you have your mind changed.
