:As to your question, "Why doesn't God just destroy Satan now, instead of allowing him to corrupt more people?" the answer is simple: man is created in the image of God. If God were to destroy Satan, then that would require ending free will, and then this world ceases to be of interest. It would become akin to a sports league where one's favorite team won every game. That's no sports league at all.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 21:09, 23 May 2012 (EDT)

::Meaning that God regards us as little more than playthings, like an interesting television program. It seems akin to the Hunger Games, the book/movie where 24 children were put into an arena to fight to the death purely for the amusement of a dystopian government. If God truly loves us, then he wouldn't allow Satan to continue to pull millions of people down into hell because he thinks it's amusing. Besides, wouldn't God know what's going to happen anyway, as He is omniscient and can thus see the future? It's not an argument that can easily hold up to scrutiny. --[[User:Bdor24|Bdor24]] 21:57, 23 May 2012 (EDT)
