You mean that all data stored on the master computer that is each and every life, will be gone through as a disk cleanup is done with only the useful and non viral data resurrected?because it's hard to have a discussion about things and it really seem to just boil down to re-enforcing something that is already said about Christian doctrine anyway.
I think there is a lack of clarity or a mismatch between what Christians see they experience vs. what everyone else sees. I think that Satan is winning the war on people, at least for right now. Yet, I always hear platitudes like "God is in control" or "Satan is weak" while they ignore the problems and situation in this world down here right in front of their eyes and ears, or at least they try to downplay or justify it as being "good" in the end, despite God hating Satan and evil works the most times in the Bible. How could I take such paradoxes or contradictions seriously? If you insist seriously that Satan is weak or losing now and God is "winning", clearly what I see going on right now is exactly the upside-down opposite?

What is Christianity? There are many versions and opinions.

Some Christians speak like this. They are not the majority.
But we don't behead every member of our faith who comes up with a strange interpretation of some spiritual matter...no matter how incorrect they might be. As a result, there is inevitably going to be a range of opinions about such stuff. You shouldn't let it color your thinking about Christianity itself.

It's because it is run by fallible human beingsI think there is a lack of clarity or a mismatch between what Christians see they experience vs. what everyone else sees.
Christianity is properly defined as trusting in The Spirit of Christ as the way to eternal Life. Another way of saying that is, believing God is the same Character of Person as the man Jesus, who as an innocent person who had done no wrong, submitted to suffering and death unjustly, without returning evil or reviling against his crucifiers, but on the contrary forgiving his crucifiers. Therefore the cross of Christ is like watching unconditional love being tested to see if it breaks. The issue becomes lost in semantics when Jesus is deemed a loser in the eyes of a wicked world, but a winner in the eyes of a glorious God in heaven.I think there is a lack of clarity or a mismatch between what Christians see they experience vs. what everyone else sees.

Yet man has continued the pursuit of a world government, a reality now within reach for the first time in history, but a governance built upon the self serving will or man rather than the will of God. The ultimate showdown in a world already lost.Satan isn't "winning" .... he lost .... it is a done deal.

The only person we are to change is ourselves, rejecting the will and governance of man for the will and governance of God. The two are counter-cultures to each other.How do you keep your faith knowing that God permits Satan to influence this world, and not only that, but there is only so much "good" people can do, we do not have the power ourselves to stop or reverse evil.

Probably the same thoughts turkeys across the DSA were recently thinking.If God has created mankind and is surprised that it didn't turn out "how he hoped", honestly maybe he shouldn't have created mankind at all. I'm not God either, but we did not consent to be born here as part of his world.
