I’m so confused. The video clearly makes this less cold blooded and a tragedy of errors. Vehicles are weapons and driving away with people walking around your car who also have weapons is a recipe for this type of thing. There are whole conversations on this site about people saying they need more self defense because of this, but they should also recognize that if they were in this situation, they would’ve seen this as a defensible act to protect themselves. Politics aside, this is a good lesson around awareness when trying to protest something and antagonism. We literally watched extremists kill people with cars and are mad about this. If the person was a maga guy, the narrative would’ve been that he got what was coming to him for being dangerous.

Edit: I guess I get the confusion. A lot of projection and not a lot of literacy on the actual point in this post. So it goes. Things get worse when everyone hears what they want to hear and demonize anything that might not be hard lining. To the people that were being really irrationally angry, please stay safe when protesting and keep situational awareness up. ♥️

This reddit post does a good job of summarizing the distributed story biblically. Kjv actually uses sin here. I’ve never personally heard a theology where it was just asking questions. It was more akin to vanity as the listed motivator. I could imagine someone using that as a strawman if they were trying to tell someone else not to ask questions though, and it could easily worm itself into a general conception for some religious backgrounds.

Revelation 20:7-15 details the final judgement and lake of fire.

Revelation 20:14 NIV [14] Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death.

Wow there’s a lot of bad faith answers in here. Just because you’re upset about Christianity doesn’t mean giving a terrible uninformed answer is helpful.

As for the general answer to your question (no longer a Christian, but did missions work for many years), the predicate of Christianity is that God created everything in the world. Therefore, by basic extension, everything’s place in that world is to worship its creator (and not itself), because worshipping God in this paradigm is its fundamental natural purpose. Not doing so is a perversion of that purpose and leads to dissonance in your soul, sin, etc.

Satan did it first, and as some commented, was the first to be in this realm of far from God by worshipping himself instead of his creator. Like anyone with a terrible addiction, you tend to want to get other people to support that addiction, so humanity is easy game (Adam and Eve). In this sense Satan is like the older sibling teaching bad habits to newer siblings.

Taking this further into the future, you now have Satan and humans who will be occupying this space of “God not being there”. In that time, if none of you are God, it stands to reason that the strongest will prevail, i.e. the angel who got you to sin in the first place. The bible doesn’t paint too much about him explicitly in regards to his role in hell. This idea of Satan just not being part of the harmony of putting god at the center explains the strange way that he and God still have a conversation in thr book of Job since hell is rejection of God from the self, not the other way around. What we can infer from other parts of the Bible about his role, like the numerous examples of human sacrifice and other degenerate activities for “false gods” the picture of Satan is that he hungers to use humanity to make himself a God and that he’s a lot stronger than us were he to do it (hence the idea that he rules hell).

The last little bit on this is at the book of revelation. In the end, the prophecy is that Satan and humans are thrown into a lake of fire. There is no governorship here. This is the final judgement where all who are irredeemable are destroyed. The period of rule most Christians probably got the idea you asked about is from earlier in revelation when the righteous are raptured and the earth is run by Satan (again, not on purpose, but by consequence of being the strongest). Ultimately though, his fate ends up being destruction, not rule. So for a while, he has apparent power by nature of being more capable, cunning, and self-serving over others who have rejected God and therefore have none of the one things he cannot surmount.

You asked a good question, with a very interesting answer. A lot of very naive atheists seem to like to Google bible passages and then forget that there is such a thing as internal consistency. In a paradigm like Christianity, you need to start with it’s fundamental postulates and walk from there. Not project your own completely different viewpoint onto it and act smug when they don’t match. At the very least, Christianity is a centuries old story with some interesting internal consistencies and comments of human nature. There’s a whole fascinating side discussion of this stuff on whether or not Satan is being given the same long grace period that humanity is to accept God.
