the fact that satan does exist, does not account for all of the cranks on this site, who profess that there is no God, but cannot turn away from Him.
there are those who are "lost" and lash out at those who profess to be saved regardless of the deity that is worshipped by the victim of the "lost" one.
satan does not need to expend his power until the "lost" one, finally begins to seek God. then it is katy-bar-the-door, because satan is in danger of losing a soul to God.
satan does not truly care for his "followers" rather he is in the race to see how many souls he can taint and take away from God, therefore "hurting" God because His flock is diminished.

Many Christian Saints were martyrs, so bear up under this barbaric onslaught. It is a Religion and Spirituality Forum, nowhere does it say only those who agree with others are allowed to post, or those who are dumber, not as literate, or devout , brainier, or as spiritual are not allowed on this Forum.
I'm glad that you are such a familiar of Satan that he lets you in on his machinations. Since I don't believe in him either, not to worry. Now, keep a stiff upper lip and be brave while all us demons are persecuting all of you. Someday you'll all get a halo for all you have endured.

A good question in your view so I did vote it as being a good question. With that positive act on my part, I assume I am now free to answer it.
I do much like the idea that all who did register to participate in Yahoo Q&A are free to do so within the rules set by Yahoo. It is their free service provided for all who do desire to pass time, ask questions, and post answers to questions. When I read the rules that set the standards I did not see any specific restrictions that did dictate how one must answer a posted question or what one may ask in the form of a question. Did I miss something?
I am a firm believer that each and every action is done for a reason. I believe every effect has a cause. I believe every act of action has a reaction. and I do believe that with acts, actions, and reactions comes automatically a responsibility and a consequence.
In all that I am saying if one does not want to be offended or hurt in any way do not play the game, especially the game of life where the exchange of thoughts and ideas is involved. As each unique entity of humankind does have his own opinion and view of each and every possible subject it is certain conflicts will come into the picture, If one does not know this as a fact already, let me be the first to say it so it can be known. Mr Murphy says, "if it can go wrong, it will".
I come here expecting to get my butt kicked when I do ask questions. I do not expect everyone to agree with my answers and I expect to hear about my stupidity when others think they do see it. Its the beautifil game of learning. I was taught no pain, no gain so come on hurt me so I can gain a lot. I am here to try to learn and I tell you I learn every time I do visit Yahoo Q&A. Lol LOL
I do not always learn what I do want to hear but I tell you I do learn. See just now I did discover this question and I learned I am now answering it.
Please do not get anyone kicked out and let each and all say what they want when they want. I do not personally think now is the time to place new restrictions in place and put limits on the free, free exchange of thoughts and ideas. You see my friend I do not pay one penny to be able to participate here, do you?
Is your question really about Satan and his existence or is it about what is posted that you do not like. Postings can be blamed on any force, but in my view it takes some little fingers to punch the keys on the keyboard to get it posted. Why not blame the fingers and suggest they be cut off to stop the postings or at least make them harder to be accomplished. Is that not a possible solution?
Lrt us respect each other and in that try to reason together rather than name calling and insulting each other. It might for a better day for all.
Sorry for saying so much, but I do think all should stop and think before taking action that may hurt another. That goes for both sides in a debate or exchange.
Why not just smile even it hurts and try to make a nice day for the other guy OK. Put down the clubs and swords for a while.

You cannot take away people's right to be jerks. I suggest you just ignore the idiots. It has nothing to do with some Boogeyman-under-the-bed. Just people thinking they are funny.
BTW: Mocking Chreistianity and faith is a far cry from "persecuting" it. I seriously doubt that most people on this board even know the real meaning of the word.

Alternately, the fact that you are trying to blame totally mundane events on supernatural forces could be evidence that you are a lunatic.
There are all sorts of interpretations.
Satan is a problem that we can do nothing about, nor should we be expected to try. He is, after all, an immortal being. So rather than trying to fix the problems in the world, lets blame them on Satan, complain about how persecuted we are (only 80% of Americans are Christian, after all), have a group hug, and then go back to waiting around for Jesus to show up and, I don't know, beat up all the people who were mean to us.

Maybe, but Satan is just a face that we put upon the real problem: evil. We all know there has to be a balance between good and evil in order for this existence as it is set up right now and as we know it to keep going. The fact that evil exists doesn't prove that Satan exists. Satan is just what Christians call it.

Have you read the rest of Yahoo Questions? The lewd, brainless and degrading boobs are everywhere, not just in Religion and Spirituality. Oh and btw, its RELIGION AND SPIRITUALITY, not Christianity R Us.

The people you are talking about cannot keep their devils and demons names straight. And what roles they are assigned to fulfill in the different levels of Hell.
the church named the devils and under the rule of as above so below . this means that there are as many levels of Hell and rulers as there are levels of heaven.
Satan is the only tempter named in the Bible as such. both to try and lead peoples minds and souls away from Gods Commandments and to be Christs own personal demon and tempter to try and keep him from fulling his goal for coming here.

I think you're projecting your religious beliefs on those who choose to ridicule you for having one. If you take offense then go away and find a place where people are sympathetic to your cause.

I highly doubt, if Satan does in fact exist, he is wasting his time and resources on making people post dumb questions on Yahoo! answers. I bet he has more important things on his mind, like running the Bush administration, for example.
