God/Satan- same team? In the beginning they were, are.

Flaw in biblical concepts?
If God rewards us in heaven for good behavior, and Satan punishes us in hell for bad behavior, aren't they both on the same side, and thus working together? If Satan was REALLY evil, wouldn't he REWARD bad behavior? So, he can't really be evil, because he is, in his own way, encouraging good, and the "struggle" between good and evil is really an illusion.
Of course, there is the argument that it's all bull, but assuming its true, isn't this a inconsistancy in this story?

This is all true but it is not true, it is and is not a lie.
Babeling-On:
Myth is the Truth of Reality, a truth that becomes perverted, adulterated, becomes just so much Babel.
If a Word has a duplicity of meaning, is two fold, where is the singularity of meaning, what is the Absolute Truth that is spoken of, sworn to, the Truth, the Whole Truth, and nothing but the truth.
A Truth that is misspoken of, a half-truth, is a Deception, a lie, an Illusion of Reality.
Words are just so much Babel, there is no life, no Reality, in a word, a name, which can only be spoken of.
A thought, Idea, itself is not a Reality.
Reality exists independent of out thought ideas concerning it.
Words, Names, if not understood, spoke of, with or without intent, create confusion, Illusions of Reality, lies, deception.
An Illusion is a Graven, dead, Image of Reality, a Non-BE-ing, a Reality that has no existence, no Life, yet it is a Reality, an Imagined Reality.
What does it mean if you say that someone is a snake in the grass, speaks with a forked tongue, is duplicitous, guileful.
Eve was beguiled, deceived, by a Be-ing, that spoke with a Split, forked, Tongue, that was duplicitous, Wise, Wily, Wilful, Willful.
Wisdom, cunning, while, is Man's Salvation and his downfall; it just depends on what man does with it.
Wisdom is to know, to have knowledge of both Reality as it is and Reality as it is not, Reality as it was, is, and the potentiality of Reality, Reality as he chooses ot to be, Reality that could, be, should be, Reality as he wills it to be, the Knowledge of the Illusion of Reality.
Wisdom, to know difference between Reality and Illusion and to be able to choose Wisely, Willfully, to choose Reality over Illusion of your own Free Will.
The Creative Imagination, Man’s non-Material, Non-physical side, Man’s stubborn streak, Man’s Feminine Wile, Willful, Side, the Right Brain which controls the left, the Evil, Wrong Side, side of man.
Good is to choose Reality over Illusion.
Evil is to choose Illusion of Over Reality.
If Illusion is chosen, preferred to Reality, Evil raises its Ugly Head because and Imagined Reality, a Illusions of Reality as Seen in the Mind’s Eye, the Evil Eye, is a Reality, is Good.
An Illusion of Reality, the Knowledge of a Dual Reality, a Reality that is both Good and Evil.
Eve, was beguiled, became insidiously cunning; artfully deceptive; wily, her Truth, her Wisdom has a twofold or double state or quality, Eve is duplicitous, Her speech, her knowledge of reality which she speak of, her Truth, a Duality, duplicitous, the Knowledge of Reality an Illusion, both Good and Evil.
Good, Absolute Truth, is Man’s knowledge of Reality that is a singularity of Truth, the Whole Truth and noting but the Truth.
The singularity of Truth, the knowledge of Reality that is spoken of if it is the absolute truth is only good, only beautiful, is not Two Fold, guileful, duplicitous.
Lucifer the Angle of Light cast down to Earth to rule over the heart and the mind of Man, he and she, becomes the Angle of Darkness.
A Reality that has no material, no physical, worth, value, meaning, existence, being, that exists only because it has been fixed, in, tattooed on the forehead and with the Right hand raised is sworn to be the Truth, the Whole Truth and nothing but the Truth, that is it the Absolute Truth, is a Lie, a Deception, an illusion of Reality, a Graven Image.
