God less logical than Batman?

I’m a groovy cat who’s into technology, Eastern Thought, and house music. I’m a proud and dedicated father to the coolest little guy on the planet (seriously, I'm NOT biased). I’m fascinated by ninjas, the Internet, and anybody who can balance objects on their nose for long periods of time.
I have a utility belt full of programming languages and a database of all my knowledge on databases... I practice code fu. Oh, I've also done actual Kung Fu, and have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.
I run. I meditate. I dance. I blog at PaulSpoerry.com, tweet @PaulSpoerry, and I'm here on Google+.
I'm currently work for IBM developing web enabled insurance applications for IBM and support and develop a non-profit called The LittleBigFund.

Provocative to say the least
Wouldn't this require God to negotiate a deal with the devil. Hey devil dude, do me a favor. I have a bunch of people who don't believe in me. Any chance you could take them in for me and while you are at it, punish them for eternity.
In fact if the whole God will punish you by sending you to hell were to be true, he must logically own hell and the devil is just a front man.
this one time:
I wanted to ask God for a bike…but then iI remembered God doesn't work that way. So I stole one and asked for forgiveness!
Much to the chagrin of the people I say it to, I've continually made that exact argument +Gary Pearson.
Back when I was getting my butt whooped by the nuns in catholic school, I always assumed that since God could do anything he wanted to, he could put anyone he wanted in hell without have to get anyone's permission. Also, he created hell to put Satan in, so yeah, he does own hell. I thought of it as a prison that God set up, and Satan was that big, brutish inmate (#1), who butt raped you while you were on the inside. IDK, even back then I had some strange ideas (and they only seemed to have gotten stranger, even though I don't believe in the religious fairy tale any longer). 😉
Yeah but if god owns hell yet lets the devil influence us then the devil isn't really in prison. I mean the most a prisoner can do to me is attempt a collect call that I can refuse and the devil is never portrayed that way.

If you think that's all a prisoner can do to you, you've never pissed off a mob boss sitting behind bars. 😉
Yeah but that sort of not even equivalent in any way… mob bosses behind bars aren't trying to mess with everyone walking the planet. Whereas that's totally the MO of the devil.

I see what you're saying. However I still say that the Devil is just an inmate with an insane amount of outside reach. 😁
Yeah but WHY would god allow that? Can god not prevent it? If he can prevent it and he allows it then doesn't that sorta negate the whole 'Jesus loves me this I know… cuz the bible tells me so…' sorta thing?

Because its 🎶magic🎶
