Revelation 12:12
Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
Death is peace, the escape from it all, no heaven to go to, no hell to burn in, you do your time in the game and are rewarded with much needed rest and sleep when you die, eternal slumber. How long till the game ends, how long till your out, how long till a new game is needed? It's not up to us decide I believe, just enjoy our time at play and dont wait for some reward or punishment thats never going to come. The only way to stay in the game, is to know when your being played.

Too literal an interpretation of my question.
I'm not asking about Heaven and Hell as REAL places, in the popular sense of each word.
I'm asking about the
preferability of each as METAPHOR for the REAL circumstances of our lives, and about the preferability of the situation of Satan, versus the situation of Adam (as described above), again, as METAPHOR for the REAL circumstances of our lives.
One thing you said is true and correct:

...Except the "rivals" you speak of are within us.
