Please consider bashing everyone equally. There were two different sides to making this an accidental "free will" debate and only one of them was quoting the Bible.
As to the general purpose of this thread, I would agree with you that many people have done horrible things in the name of God. Nowhere will you ever find me supporting slavery or the Crusades or the destruction and persecution of non-Christians in the name of God. But have you ever considered that those "Christians" who committed those acts weren't really obeying the will of the God they claimed to serve? There are many people who, just as you said, only serve God so far as they can use the invisible man to achieve their goals.
Does that necessarily make Satan the good guy or reduce those Christian's who want to honestly change our world for the better wrong?
