God isn''t benevolent.
"Put up with my shit without complaining, and maybe I'll treat you right after you die... No, that's a lie generated by popular culture. What the actual promise is, is that you'll lay in your grave rotting for thousands of years till doomsday and then he'll bring you back to life and raise you to heaven IF he thinks you're good enough, and if you're not you can just wander about as a rotting zombie."
There's no proof that god isn't shitting with us or dicking us around until the end of the world shows up, that some super beings like the Ori can't pony the same long con to get surf labour and mindless obedience in exchange for a wisp of gullibility.
Buffy got heaven immediately.
Such a better deal.
And not even a deal.
She just lucked into it.
(She was probably in fridge or a cooler, used to store souls before gods or demons ate her. I mean if cattle are too stupid not to know the slaughter is coming, being incredibly happy is about the only warning we get,)
Meanwhile there's every chance that man is going to kill himself to the last before god gets up off his ass and kicks off the rapture to separate the pious from the assholes.
Although depending on how you read it, if you're a Jehovah's Witness, only 144,000 thousand people since origin are going to be saved and go to heaven, a Methodist friend was saying that that was rubbish, and that the "sealed" ones are just special servants for god and of course every one else is going to be saved too.
Such dissension.
Although I had a 17 year old Mormon door knocker telling me that the end of days had started because of all the bad things in the news she saw every night.
She, like worked it out, all by herself.
Smart cookie.
Edit: Wrong answer to this quote. My answer below was in response to all the Buffyverse talk, not the Whoverse.
There are a couple of candidates for Satanic entities. There's of course the First Evil. In one of the final episodes of the show I think Caleb explicitly refers to Satan (saying that he's nothing compared to the First Evil). I suppose you could even count the Old Ones amongst the candidates.
According to the Doctor himself:
"In a long and eventful life, I have experienced nothing that I could not account for by the laws of physics, chemistry or biology. If a God or Gods exist, and I cannot rule out the possibility, then I can only presume that He, She or They take no active part in the lives of the many and various creatures that populate this extensive and wonderful universe of theirs. In addition, I have seen countless races worship countless Gods with attributes which are mutually incompatible, and each race believes itself to be following the one true faith. While I respect their beliefs, I would consider it arrogance for any race to try and impose their beliefs on me, and if I had a belief of my own then it would be equally arrogant of me to impose it on them. In short, sir, I am currently an agnostic, and by the time my life draws to its close, and I have travelled from one side of the universe to the other and seen every sight there is to see, I firmly expect to be an atheist."

^^^ What episode was that in?
When I was young they called Tv Books.
(Second time I've typed that today.)

some one transcribed it.

Theft?
Meh.
The First doctor and Irving Braxiatel.
That stupid tv misses out on all the good match ups.

"When I was your age, television was called BOOKS!"
That was from Princess Bride right?

Bingo!
There was an episode of Happy Endings a few weeks back where one of the girls was dating a guy with money who goes overboard, too overboard, that even on a night she especially says "I just want to stay in and watch a movie" he hires Fred Savage to watch the movie with them and supply a live commentary.
Who are some actors we could afford to render live commentaries for old movies we used to live and due by?

BTW the Who books created an umbrella term for most of WHO's powerful entities. Apparentally the Animus, Great Intelligence, the Nestenes, Fenric and others were all from another universe. I find the origin somewhat similar to Galactus (From Marvel comics) who was a human from the previous universe who got transformed.

Ah. I should have known it was a book thing.
I've enjoyed a couple DW books, but I consider the majority of them to be rubbish and have no place in discussion of "proper" Doctor Who canon, i.e. the TV series (1963-1989, 1996, 2005-?).
I know some people really like the books and consider them equally valid to the TV show, but such people are clearly not worth taking seriously.
(That's meant to be tongue in cheek).
The Empire of Glass is delightful.
I suppose it is, if you like that sort of thing.
Whether it's good or not, nothing that happened in it has any bearing or relationship to the events of the TV series. You're free to pretend that they do, of course.

I'm not pretending anything, except that I enjoyed the book, and that it had a line relevant to the topic at hand.
To some extremists out there, the movie between seriesies didn't count.
Peter Cushing is the Definitive Doctor Who!
^ Not difficult, since technically he's the only Doctor Who!
Other than the Doctor himself?
I think the Daleks see him as the other guy.
