So you are saying that God did not create the mind? He did not make us to be idiots.
Satan capitalizes on idiocy, causing the mind of man to believe lies. You cannot forget Satan in your equations.

I do believe all people need to be justified and sanctified during life and then past through a refining fire in order to enter Heaven. Those who remain unredeemed will not be able to stand being in the presence of a Holy God.
I think atheism is just a reaction to Fundamentalist Christianity. Both are part of Modernism, which was left behind last century. Without Fundamentalism, atheists would just be agnostics.
Believers in Jesus Christ don't have the luxury of picking and choosing what we believe in. God's word teaches us about Satan, the very real enemy of God. those who say they don't believe there is a Satan have been deceived by Satan into that very denial.
Sorry. I believe in a metaphoric, or symbolic, Satan. And Christians can pick and choose what they believe in. Why do you think there are so many denominations?

Do you believe he is symbolic for a bad example, or do you believe he is literaly a spirit whom God for some strange reason let him be able to tempt people?

I think he is a literal spirit. I think humanity would have sinned without him though. One of the biggest problems in the story of the Garden is that Adam and Eve blamed everyone but themselves for their selfish behavior.
There are so many denominations because of UNBELIEF. Your sect denies Satan, and fails in the belief department. We do not have the right to cherry pick what we want to believe. We must believe the whole word of God, know God and allow Him to teach us the truth---not solely men.

Sorry, but this sounds hilarious from a Catholic point of view......
no offense, but isn't one person's cherry picking another person's Reformation?

Jesus is our Church authority, as head, and He has instructed us how to 'do church' in His word.

God does not create non-Christians. Men do.
As for authority, the word of God is our authority. If God does not say it then it is not the truth.
But he problem is that there are so many people who are convinced that Jeus told THEM the right thing and that other people who say the same but found a different result are wrong. That's why I see no reason to believe based on revelation.
