Doesn't that sound just as stupid as saying Atheists are influenced by the devil because they DON'T believe in god ?
SO STOP SAYING IT YOU STUPID CHRISTIANS !!

Say all you want and what you want.
Christians are Christians, because we are influenced by the love of Almighty God, manifested in Our Lord Jesus Christ, and brought to us by the Holy Spirit.
One true God, forever and ever. A living God. A God who answers prayer, a God who is merciful and forgives sin, even the one you are committing now.
For His reign will never end, no matter what men or devil may do.

Actually that statement, sure isn't a question, is worst (I don't want to call no one stupid) than saying Atheists are influenced by the devil because they don't believe in God because how and why would the devil influence people to believe in God if he is working against God?

It's not so much that we are influenced by the devil, no more than atheists are influenced by the devil due to an attempt to convince us they are unbelieving of God. But, remember one thing, even the devil believes in God..
and you can't have it both ways, you can't believe in one and not the other.
Oh, and name calling doesn't settle anything, only causes your opinion to be less well thought of.

No it doesnt sound stupic. But you do.
Think about it. What is the hallmark of a Christian? Typically, they cannot do anything for themselves - they have a victim mentality. When something goes wrong, it is God's Will. When something goes right, it is the power of prayer and God. And when they do something morally reprehensible, they blame it on the devil because they cannot take responsibility for their own actions.
So no, it doesnt sound stupid. It sounds just like them.....look at Mr. Farleys response above mine. Their philisophy is that the Devil is causing me to think as an atheist.... Even the devil beleives in God? I wonder how a non-existent entity goes about beleiving in another non-existing entity......wow, mind bender!

Ok, first of all not everyone is influenced by the devil the devil is not omni present and niether are demons, but the goal of the devil or his demons is to make christians just medi-oaker he doesn't care if just one person turns to christ he just doesn't want that one person sharing about christ and then he will have suceeded, oh yeah and to all you people who say the devil made me do it, god did create such a thing as free will you don't have to do it.

Every man, woman and child on this earth is influenced by Satan and his agents every day. It has nothing to do with whether or not someone is a "Christian".
1Pe 5:8 Be sober! Be on the alert! Your adversary the Devil is prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for anyone he can devour.
If you don't want to experience what "Christians" have to say on this or any other "RELIGION and SPIRITUALITY" topic, perhaps you should lurk somewhere else.

I understand your point.
For all you believers, sorry I’m not one of them, how do you know that the God you believe in, and the Bible you believe and follow wasn’t actually the work of Satan. How do you know that it wasn’t Satan that created the Earth, Adam, Eve and all that jazz?
How do you know that Satan didn’t conquer and defeat God, then came down pretending to be God, got millions believing in religion, fighting and killing each other, just because it’s fun for him? What evidence do you have to show that the God in the Bible wasn’t in fact Satan in disguise? The answer is straight forward. If there was any truth to the Bible at all, and the chance of that is totally remote, then God is the Devil, just think about it for a while.

in some way everyone is influenced by the devil. an atheist has exemption: by not believing in god, they cannot believe in the devil. since god created satan. an atheist, a true atheist, is someone that does not believe in any greater power than their own. so any evil or bad things in their lives are of their own creation. maybe so??????? think about it.

i would say everyone is influenced by the devil. if you don't want to call it a devil I find hard to believe that one would say they see no signs of good and evil in this world wouldn't agree if you don't want to call it the devil what influences people to do bad things? are people born bad or good at birth
