Yes its confusing but not intractable.** If a person recognises good they stand a good chance of finding the true religion - the one that worships** All Good, and that goodness rubs off on them.

Its why many religions do not appeal to me. Chaos and violence and confusion.

The bold part is just a claim without any support. It is like saying that all drivers derive BMW cars properly because BMW cars are good. A good system of belief cannot be deduced from underlying substrate which define us.

we are attracted to good for a reason, and we are capable of good. this forms an introduction to truth and true religion.

people are attracted to BMW’s because they are better than any other car. They are good and are what a car should be and you who are capable of seeing and recognizing good are attracted to BMW’s. So you are introduced to the true religion of BMW’s.

There are people who are attracted to evil either for a reason hence the sense of attraction cannot possibly justify a reason for truth.

No, we know his existence because he interacted with many people in the past some of them are founder of religions.

I cannot follow your logic. It doesn’t make any sense.

ditto. The idea that Satan would interact with other religions to make* himself* an object of hatred is too fantastic. I mean, some philosophical questions are interesting exercises. This particular question seems sophomoric, which I guess why it is not part of the great conversation that is philosophy.

His story could be so fantastic hard to believe, for now we are those in trouble not understanding what truth is because he manage to confuse us the best.

Why are they attracted to evil. Do they like being scared stark staring mad or is there something they get a kick out of; do they experience pleasure not terror. Pleasure in its own right is not evil.

There is probably a sense of pleasure in performing evil either otherwise evil could not exist.

So should a person follow on to the source of good which created the good senses or follow up his wicked evil ways towards the scary evil thing?

Well, that is basic problem related to this thread. People do not simply have access to the truth because having a confused life. There are many religions so it is hard to find truth and act accordingly.
 
It would be strange if Satan confused people into disliking him, making people believe in God, and to love each other.

The issue disliking Satan is not the point of this thread. Like or dislike, we are in confused situation cannot know what truth is if all religions are work of Satan.

People are confused. They like pleasure but don’t understand when the screaming starts.

Here is your answer.

All religions are not the work of satan.

If you believe they are, then you believe in God who created satan.

Who would not allow all religions to be the work of satan.

I hope that answers your question.

I was thinking something along these lines. The proposition really doesn’t make any sense.

But anyways, my take on the situation is that since the beginning of time God started giving people “queer dreams” and spiritual revelations and the ability and desire to muse upon spiritual things. Man has interpreted these things in his own way through the imperfect lens of their various cultural teachings etc. So many truths are contained in each of these musings, but that spirituality reached its apex in the person of Christ.

Man is flawed, religious diversity is the fault of mans flawed nature in that he does not possess a perfect ability to ascertain spiritual matters.

It would be equally strange if Satan were willing to trade a bad perspective of him and a loving of God, and doctorines which tell people to love each other for a little confusion.

Satan would be saying, “well ive given people creeds that convince people to hate me and to Love GOd and suggest that we follow the commands of love for one another…but at least they are a little confused.”
 
And we know plenty of truth which overlaps nearly all religion. Love for God, love for one another. The importance of the spiritual realm over the material. Those are the God-given threads and foundation which binds mankind and which we need to strive to follow.
 
Your premise is also contingent upon your understanding of Satan in the Biblical sense that he is evil. If the Bible didn’t come from God, why would you assume that their was actually a being named Satan, who was bad, and that we got the Bible from and wanted us confused? The source you seem to be using for your premise of understanding of satan comes from the very bible in question.

The premise immediately falls apart at every conceivable logical angle

Satan is known as a master of delusion who spread confusion among people. There are many religions which each claims that they are true yet non of them couldn’t prove that it is the right one. What if all religions are work of Satan? God is good and it is known to be right. Why God allows Satan to spread confusion among people, being omniscient and omnipotent?

We wouldn’t know about Satan - his existence or character - if it wasn’t for the Judeo-Christian religious tradition. I don’t think it works to undermine the foundation of knowledge for X using X.
