Well this is correct evil does descend from God but really what point does this blog make? It clearly states that Satan is an enemy of God not an ally, not a friend.

"In Christianity, evil spirits have long been attributed to Satan."

Uh, by whom? Catholics, Orthodox, Anglicans, Quakers, etc., etc. reject this idea. That's about 2/3 of all Christians. Toss in that the few protestant sects that *do* think that way have only existed since the Reformation.

In short, a clear minority of Christians have agreed with you for a fraction of the existence of Christianity. Your statement is, at best, unsupportable.

There is an awful lot of evidence in the Bible that Satan is not the enemy of God, but basically the guy who does Go'd dirty work for him.

There were even "heretical" Christian sects who put together bits of New Testament stuff saying Satan is "the lord of this world" and Old Testament stuff such as in your post and declared that the Old Testament's "God" was in "fact" the New Testament's "Satan".

Personally, if i were to think they actually existed, i would see God/Satan as roughly analogous to Al Quaeda's relationship with the US special forces...
