Darwinsrocks,it seems to me that you are failing to see a different interpretation of God and religion. Very few people interpret every word written in the Bible are literally correct, with no room for some degree of interpretation of what was written. Most people today can accept that many of the stories are metaphors (such as your story about God creating the devil).
The perfect example is the four Gospels of the new Testament. All four tell the same story (birth of Christ), yet all four have many contradictions. The reason is the four authors have different biases (such as whether it was the Romans or the Jews who wanted Christ killed). Also, they were written 100 years apart - great example of how time, language, and customs can change recorded history over time.
It sounds like the purpose in your writing is to completely discredit and destroy all religions and the notion of God. Having done that repeatedly, you ignore the evidence that some form of God exists in the universe. To come across as an absolute agnostic or atheist leaves no room for abstract thinking. That's a narrow point of view.
