If I were the devil, and I wanted a tool to control humankind, I would write a book styling myself as supreme creator, encouraging blind faith, promising eternal happiness to those that worshiped me and eternal suffering to those that questioned me.

Surely a loving God would understand that blind faith isn't enough to convince some people? That is quite interesting. Somewhat reminds me of the ideas put forth in Roko's Basilisk, an infamous thought experiment...
