Give me a definition of both good and evil. Such alignments are never absolute, as what one man considers evil may very well be perceived as good by another.
Such a thing can never be set to stone, as nothing or no one can tell you and reassure you on the rights and wrongs of your life.

Oi! Another one of your "JUMBO" Posts! @_@
It's like the perception of temperature. One man thinks 70 degrees Fahrenheit is hot, while another thinks it's cold. It's based on how they grew up. And, either way, there is a point where al humans would consider a temperature as hot, and likewise with cold. But, in actuallity, there is no such thing as cold. It is simply a word we made up for the absence of heat. Total absence is absolute zero, which is the "coldest" temperature possible. The same logic can be applied to God and Satan. No matter what varying levels of good and evil we have based on world views, there will always be an absolute good, God, and an absolute evil, Satan, which noone can deny that good or evil. In the same manner that "Cold" does not exist, it is also possible that "evil" does not exist. Life could just be varying levels of God's presence, and when there is absolutely no good (absolute evil), that is where Satan resides. Think this sounds ridiculous? Go tell that to Einstein. He's the one that made this philosophy up.
I'm a little confused as to why you believe that if a God does exist, that He can only be cruel and that he 'll enslave us for truth for eternity. Could you explain a little more? Does that mean that you wouldn't believe in the Devil because God is evil?
