If there really was a Satan, an evil genius constantly plotting the corruption of human souls, be sure he'd do a far better job of it than what we currently observe. After all, most men can be easily influenced by even passably attractive females.

Life is difficult enough that most people are inclined to place their happiness in a future heaven to deaden the disappointment of this life.

To: Belial
As a student of scriptures for thirty years now, I am persuaded that the greatest weakness of humankind was exactly what Lucifer focused upon in Eve and Adam in the Garden ... "... for you shall be as God ..." When someone presents their self as so knowledgeable that they 'know' faith is a folly, they have already succumb to the most subtle invitation to turn from humble submission to God's Grace. Does humble submission mean their will thereafter be no falling from His Grace? No, but the humble soul will confess the shortcoming and turn to Him, to renew the relationship the human has caused, for God will not abandon His children else His love would have limits ... and it doesn't.

If there really was a Satan

You know there is Belial, or why would you take one of his names as your handle?
