“If you are one of those that doubt the existence of the devil”
Devils, I’d say. I doubbt the gods, the devils, and the demigods.
“then let me start off by saying that the devil is real”
Oh. Why didn’t anyone SAY so? I’m convinced!
“and he is sly... so slick that he has deceived you into doubting his existence!”
So your proof that i’m wrong about not believing in any devils is the fact that i don’t believe in devils.
Gonna need at LEAST a pitchfork, please.
"The devil is a deceiver and he is so smooth at shoving thoughts into our heads that a lost soul without God in his/her life will not be able to discern between their own thoughts, and those from the devil.”
So, your proof for god is that YOU don’t disbelieve the devil…
Brillig.
"I will show you what I have experienced and you will judge for yourself,”
I judge that your anecdotes aren’t any more compelling than anyone else’s story.
"If you conclude that the devil exist then you surely cannot doubt the existence of God. There is good and there is evil.”
Why? Why does good demane evil/
We can have good and a whole bunch of stages of ‘not as good’ under than, and get to neutral, and then stop. Why must both exist?
"This right here is called logismoi. It is the process where your thoughts do not originate from you...they originate from the devil.”
You could start with any reason to think it’s POSSIBLE for thoughts inside my head to not originate inside my head.
"The devil can put thoughts into your head and is always trying to tear you apart.”
And yet, I havce never raped any attractive women, I’ve never murdered the most annoying idiot, You say i’m helpless against him and the worst he’s had me do is drive about 9 miles over the speed limit.
“The devil hates you and he wants you to be depressed, down, sad, lonely, rejected...”
I sought help. Much better now, thanks. Odd how a therapist can defeat the devil without even mentioning gods.
“he wants you to always think that you cannot make it,"
No, i’ve been pretty optimistic most of my life, including my atheist period.
“you're unworthy,”
My wife said YES! Take THAT low self-worth!
“you're a reject,”
This sounds more like what the christains want me to think until i come back to the church.
“you're weak,”
Yawn.
“you're hopeless,”
I do crossword puzzles in ink, loser.
“ no one likes you....
No, I’m pretty popular and i can see that.
“all these thoughts are from the devil!!!”
I could care less. Not much less, but meh.
