Religion is all man-made lies, bub. Stop the madness.

The "Clever Clogs" over the ages immediately personalised their version of the truth ( God versus Satan / Devil ) as a means to entrain the Sheeple with their soppy stories .
To provide easy and understandable connections for people , all to obtain Compliance and create Guilt and Fear

One result is that you and many others are flummoxed by the sort of question you have posed .
But that is because Universe is not what the Abrahamic Cult Religions tell you that it is .
A personalised God and Satan have never existed and never will

Rather --- Think of Universe as Consciousness with all possible interactions contained by it . Then we are like Consciousness -- made up of Good and Bad .
As is "God" .
Which is the bit that the "Clever Clogs" hate , because that Truth does not give them the same opportunities to control and entrain .

So, once you define the question properly using correctly defined Terms , there are no problems in giving a simple and accurate answer .

God needed a scapegoat to explain all the evil and suffering we see around us.

 

[Anathema]

The simple reason is that Good needs Evil in order to exist. Without the foil of Evil, the concept of Goodchas no meaning.

It could also be described that evil is the absence of Good.

Once again, the age-old question of why God allows continued suffering.

That is the real question here.

He did. Or so the Hebrew narrative goes.

You are also falling into the trap of personalising entities.

Universe is Consciousness and that encompasses the Good , Bad , Indifferent plus the kitchen sink .
It simply "IS" .

Sheeple just partial out bits of the whole and personalise them to make it easier for them to comprehend at a very simple level .
Except that it doesn't work--- as the original question shows .

We are talking Universe, not something which is Universe minus a bit, which we choose to label or name Satan .

No. You have it exactly backwards. Good doesn't need evil in order to exist. But evil can't exist without good.

Good exists in and of itself. Evil is not extant... evil is the absence, or opposition of good.

It's like light and darkness. Darkness is not an actual thing, it's simply the lack of light. Light is a real thing. That analogy can be applied spiritually.

The answer is to perfect the Saints. Where there is no resistance, there is no growth

Many believe Satan will be killed in the Lake of Fire along with all the wicked. Some believe he will be tortured for eternity just as they believe the wicked will be tortured. I don't believe in this god

Satan, that ever elusive talking serpent of old, is just a metaphor for a despicable human archetype, a sadistic malignant narcissist. Killing Satan is not for God to do. Killing a malignant narcissist is not really helpful, even if satisfying. Casting them out of their lofty positions and publicly embarrassing them deflating their ego making them live in shame as the lowest of all lowlifes instead of being celebrated as beautiful, stars, wealthy geniuses (with really good hair), is work for humans to do, and by far a fate worse than death for every egocentric cruel petty tyrant. Think! "Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven" To understand what that means see Gen 3:14

Not paying homage to a devil, putting Satan in its place as the lowest of lowlifes is the only way to rid the world from the deadly effects of being bitten and dying from the poison of a talking serpent, a descendant of Satan.

So the question really isn't why doesn't God kill Satan, the question is why humans haven't done that yet, WTF, whenever and wherever he raises his ugly head. When Satan asks you do do something. Just say no. lol. its easy.

A devil without his minions, er, possessions, is like an unarmed soldier running bigly into battle completely naked.

A joke.

 

[hobelim]

God needed a scapegoat to explain all the evil and suffering we see around us.

Either that or God tried to alert people to the cause of all the inequality and suffering in society from a few devils who prey on the gullible seeking a smooth and easy life off the backs of disposable people irrelevant to them.

The story about Adam and Eve is a solemn warning to young children about the dangers of losing your sanity for life to a con artist and deceiver. The pharaoh, a star of the ancient world, wore a serpent on his headdress and was an expert at divination, the magical arts, sorcery, what is now well known as brainwashing or mind control.

Why would God destroy anything he created if what he created was good? You'd have a better argument against God if he destroyed what he created. Because then you could argue that God was fallible.

Didn't you ever watch the movie Dogma? That was the central premise of the movie. That if God were ever wrong about anything, then everything would end.

I'm surprised the universe popping into existence being hardwired to produce intelligence didn't give you pause for concern.

Spirits are eternal. They can't be killed. That includes us. You will be you for eternity in various realms.

That's some conspiracy theory you have there. One would think that such a long lived and massive conspiracy like that would leave some trail of evidence for it. Do you have any evidence for your beliefs or is this just conjecture of an active imagination?

And you don't think your mind has been closed to God.

Or possibly bringing order from chaos without ever having to interfere is God's greatest demonstration of power.

No offense but it's pretty logical that bad comes from good quite naturally. It's like you either have no ability to make objective observations of your surroundings or that you are such a negative person that you can't see the good for the bad.
