I'm not too bothered by this whole 'Satan is happy with you' nonsense, he seems like a nice chap really. I mean, he comes off way better than God and Jesus in Paradise Lost. Plus, all the best parties are in Hell and the company's infinitely better.

Let's see if I've got this straight: One imaginary invisible immaterial person whom you believe to exist loves me because I disbelieve in a second invisible immaterial person whom you believe to exist, even though I additionally actually disbelieve in the reality of the first imaginary invisible immaterial person whom you believe to exist?

Yeah - that doesn't sound schizophrenic at all.

Being a "believer" myself, I find the above to be extremely ironic, as I have long been stating exactly the opposite thesis;
"Satan" <sic> wants you to get suckered into the worship of "Gawd" and his counterfeit son "Hey-sooce X", in fact he will be happy just to get you to accept his fabricated counterfeit "name" and "the mark" of his name.

HELL! You won't even have to believe in him! just accept his "name"!!! and/or "receive" his "mark".....T......:devil:

Even if I believed in Satan, I wouldn't be afraid.

I was married to his sister!!

"Luciferianism"?!? Actually, I'm a vagitarian...

I know you're not bad fellow and you're basically good. Please stick around and go to the library, pick a subject and read on it. if you keep an open mind you may learn a lot of things . Over here we like to base our beliefs on facts and things that can be proven by logic. But you remember in school to be able to learn you must keep an open mind. best wishes in furthering your education.

I don't get the whole Satan=evil routine spouted by Christians.

Where are all the documented evil acts performed by Satan in the bible? There are a great many evil acts recorded in that book performed by the supposedly "good" God, and God even claims to create evil(Isaiah 45:7), but not so the supposedly "evil" Satan.

What gives?

Does it ever trouble the waters inside your head to think that you are on the same side of this issue as Rev. Benny Hinn?

"Why Satan loves Atheists"

Because most of them actually use the Fruit Of Knowledge he gave us?

Actually the term "Satan" is not at all a name in the original manuscripts, and should never have been capitalized in the first place, as became the X-ian practice and tradition in 'translating'.
The word "satan" is simply the untranslated Hebrew word for "adversary", and in those few verses where context indicates a single individual, or even "evil" personified, it should still always be translated as "adversary" or "the adversary", not as a fraudulent "name" for a "boogyman", particularly that grotesque imaginary "character" fabricated by X-ianity during the "Dark Ages" which has been foisted off on us all.
In essence, whatever or whoever resists or opposes the revealed "will" or "doctrine" of the Bible IS "the adversary", or of "the adversary" IE, that which "opposes", or "resists".
Thus every atheist posting here is "satan", and I say this not as any form of insult, but rather only in the sense that atheists "resist" and "oppose" the sayings and doctrines of the Bible.
Therfore, if you in all honesty and integrity believe the Bible to be less than it claims, and that there is no "God", then to be an "adversary" to its false claims would NOT be evil, and thus though you were indeed "satan" the "opposer" against it, you would be the embodiment of GOOD for "resisting" its evil ideas and doctrines.
