Paul, how is this for a hypothesis?

You claim that there exists an evil, damager god. This god is responsible
for the evil in this world. However, this god enjoys blaming the cause of
evil on another god: Satan. You claim that Satan does not exist and that the
evil damager god made up the idea of another god who causes evil.

It appears to me that neither proposition
	a) There is a single evil damager god
	b) There is a good God and an evil Satan
is provable in a scientific "proof".

However, consider that  there is an evil damager god who enjoyed blaming 
things on another nonexistant god. If this damager god has done all kinds of
evil things, he won't want YOU spilling the beans. If everyone believes like
you his fun would be spoiled. So he would eliminate you PDQ. It could look
like an accident. Then you could no longer reveal his dirty deeds and plans.

Alternatively, if there is a Satan HE would want you to say exactly what you
do say. He would motivate you to really press the issue. It would be to his
advantage for you to tell everyone that there is only one god, an evil type
damager god. Then God gets blamed for Satans dirty work. And you would be
safe from a good God. You are still alive and kicking, aren't you?
