5. But? God and the Devil are related.

They are the two poles of ... one unitary religious system. Can't have one without the other it seems.
If you're going to claim one Creator being is absolutely perfect, then you need another being to explain all the imperfect things all around. Like a full diaper.

If God created all things? Then he created all the evil in the universe. And He created Satan too.

Maybe the religious right doesn't object, because they know they are deep down, related to the devil.

Often they confess they ARE sinners. And that there's a devil inside of them.

Maybe if they faced that a little more, they'd reform themselves better.

Or chuck the whole polarized binary system. And learn to see shades of grey, so to speak.
