I do not know all of life’s mysteries, but it seems to me that Satan’s goal is to force us to bow down to him. He can’t show his face here on earth, so he settles for trying to force us to bow down to his chosen ones. What do you think?

Satan would only very rarely need to resort to force to get what he wants from humanity. People are already proud, greedy, and materialistic (among other things)and will easily bow down to many different such idols on a daily basis by choice. You might be interested in reading The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis if you haven't already.

I bet Satan works hard to get the worse out of us.

Mebe. He's not saved so to hell with him, I say.
The best man at my wedding was Spirit filled 24/7.
Nobody has beat his witness.

Haven't you paid attention to the sop in the different sections?
Restrictions?
If you don't want your views which may be wrong (and some are) challenged, just post in a section where it is not permitted to even challenge your views, let alone debate them.

Maybe I should find out if you are over 21 or not ? You put your OP in a section where your views , even when wrong, cannot be debated and cannot be challenged as effectively as if it was in controversial section, or perhaps some other section.

It seemed to me General Theology was the best forum for this topic.

Is there a forum for Satan's goal?

Do you want a special forum yourself instead of posting in this one ?
No, I'm comfortable using the General Theology forum. I haven't figured out why you disapprove of that.

You were told 3 times I think.
Several of your 'ideas' are pretty far away from Scripture, in several threads,
and by picking the forum you do/did, you are 'protected' from being corrected,
although it doesn't seem any correction from anyone gets through anyway, does it ? (as others noted in the past about your unbliblical ideas about hell)
