Was Satan wrong to demand equal rights in heaven?

apparently he had always pulled you up, seeing as how you are here

Observation bias. All people able to converse with you on this forum are assumed to have a degree of leisure and prosperity. But doesn't that discount all the miserable poor people who's lives are a living hell?

I believe you give religion too little credit, we should not ignore the truth religion brought us. I believe religion has done more good then bad, and those who do evil in the name of religion never last

Which truth is that?

And name a period of history where religiously inspired hatred and violence didn't exist.

Hmm.. think of jobs

Both god and satan played games with Humanity paying the ultimate price.

i dont know about you, but i think humanity is doing better then ever. compare our lives to the lives of people in the 1900s

the truth of many religions - do not steal, do not kill, do not murder etc

Yet the christians did just that , in Destroying Alexandria

those who do evil in the name of god will never last, how are those people who destroyed alexandria viewed today?

Crime against All of Humanity

and rightly so, but to blame all christians for what they did is wrong

Yet those who gave us the Dark Ages of free though and Inquisition are still here.

I believe you give religion too much credit as they are still producing evil homophobic and misogynous people.

Why? --- When the basic attitude remains the same.

Are you ready to forgive Christians their homophobic and misogynous discrimination while the church continues to preach those immoral tenets?

Secular laws? We don't need religion for that.

What about facts inherent to God's creation like, genetic diseases, human-specific parasites, birth defects, and natural disasters?

Also what about religiously inspired evils, like religious wars, burning of witches, honor killings, stoning of adulterers blasphemers, etc?

You try to sidestep the point.

jesus told us to forgive seventy times seven.
to forgive those that forgive us is good, but to forgive those that do not forgive us is godly

if you want them to burn for disagreeing with you, how are you any different from those who burned alexandria?

The God reacts to our evil, but god the father believes he has done so and tells us the right way to live.

those fall under our freewill, god does not choose for us, we have free will
