For me, the "Satan-God" concept falls apart when Christians argue that God is all powerful, yet He's waging this war with Satan. If He's all powerful, why can't He win this war? If He's all powerful, how can He possible have an equal in the Cosmos? If NOTHING anywhere exists without God's permission, then how can He permit this Evil?
I wouldn't say that the Christian belief falls apart here since what you've described isn't the Christian concept. Satan isn't God's equal and God isn't trying to win the war against him. He allready won it, but God is long-suffering. The problems in this world aren't caused by Satan, thier caused by man. Satan doesn't murder people, people do. Nor does Satan make people sin, all he does is temp people and you can hardly temp a good person to do evil. When you do something wrong, lets not even say what's wrong according to the Bible, but what you yourself consider wrong, you don't do it because you were forced by some outside entity, you do it because you as well as me are fundamentaly flawed. Rather than wipe the world out or give us a universal wind wipe or lobotomy, God has chosen to be pacient with us and give us a chance to sort things out. I'm sure you as most parrents see the value in letting your kids make some mistakes for themselves.
Putting the "fun" back in Fundamentalist Christian Dogma.
