(5,125 posts)My friends explained to me that some people just don't see the point in God because there is no real evidence. Same goes for the Devil. If you're atheist, you really don't see the point of worshiping either of them. For the Devil to exist, there would need to be a God.
I've actually had a conversation with a Satanic Priest who wanted to date my best friend. I told him it wouldn't work and asked him why he was in that gig because he'd made indications he wasn't happy about it. Said he got there during a time of bad addictions and wasn't in his right mind really but that they forced him to commit some unforgivable sin so he was stuck there.
Now was any of it real? Hard to say, but he believed it.
He also asked me if I would "stop him" if he tried to date my friend, and I said I wouldn't have to she's an adult and can make her own decisions. He said, "What if I put a spell on you and make you convince her?" I told him he doesn't have any power over me if I don't allow it and he knows that. He nodded and left.
Down south.... maybe you could say,
"Just because the only horses I deal with are the ones under the hood of my car, doesn't mean I'm out in the barn yard tipping cows at night. Being an atheist is like being a city slicker, I just don't go out to the farm at all."
It's a thought.
