Satan is THERE to oppose GOOD. HIS choice. HE wanted to STEAL the throne of God for himself. STARTED the whole thing. A CREATION of God. WITHOUT flaw (full pattern). LURING (you) into the LAKE OF FIRE, where HE (only one) DESTINED to wind up (unless God is LYING). Punishes? Up in smoke is the fate of the damned, by fire, and the go up in smoke like the fat of a lamb in a fire (Bible). Now sure WHAT happens after that (confusiing info in the Bible) but OUT of the good's (saved) awareness and memory. Bible DOES mention ETERNAL torment and hell fire. Dunno. Just know I DO NOT want to be part of lying, cheating, stealing, etc (The evil crowd practices) if I have to EXIST for ETERNITY. What happes ultimately TO the evil, is of no real (curious yes) concern to me, whatever it is it WILL NOT be as good as mortal life on Earth since EVERYONE will be EVIL or WORSE. Sounds like HELL to me. and the niggers! The heat, the STENCH. Nigger urges! BLAMING others for THEIR inferiority. ANGRY. DEMANDING what YOU harvest because you (somehow) CHEATED to get it (instesd of worked) AND they will be right (most likely) YOU are evil too. For ETERNITY. Frankly i don't think MOST evil people deserve ETERNAL torture for a failed mortal existence on Earth, but then I don't know about what came before mortal life (first earth age)...etc.
