    They do! But the Christian argument is that Satan tied them into his plot to trick people as well.

        honestly when you read the bible god is pretty relatable, he’s kinda just proud of having literally created everything (including evil, isaiah 45:7) and wants to be worshipped for it, and gets angry when you don’t worship him for having literally created everything by himself.
        It all makes more sense when you drop the idea that god is arbitrarily perfect and good.

        I can’t say i’d do better with absolute power of creation and having to literally create the concept of existence on my own. If we’re created in the image of god then frankly it’s a wonder we’re as friendly as we are.
