Are they not supposed to "Love Your Enemies"?

Yes, Christians do love Satan. As a convenient scapegoat for their failings. As a cheap way to keep the masses in line. As a way to demonize people who do things they disagree with. Yeah, Christians would be lost without ol' Lucifer.

This is a good quesiton. As someone already pointed out, God instructed us to love people - including enemies and he was speaking about people. Satan is spirit and represents deceipt, hate, liar.
Christians are to love the sinner, hate the sin. We are not to "love" evil spirits.

Christians love Christ. Satan is God's (and mankind's) enemy.
Love your enemy means your human enemies, not spiritual ones.

Christians are to love the things that God loves and hate the things that God hates... God hates sin, wickedness, rebellion, evil, etc. thus he hates the author and instigator of such things. The good news is that although Satan's doom is sealed, grace and forgiveness (salvation) are available through Christ Jesus for those who cry out to Him for mercy and submit to Him as Lord.

It is not a question of love. Satan is the adversary. The Lord rebuked him, and he has empowered his people to do the same. "The LORD said to Satan, 'The LORD rebuke you, Satan! The LORD, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you!'" This honestly is a stupid question!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think that should be interpreted as having compassion for your enemies. This does not require you to condone their actions against you.

Where does it say that? I found love your neighbor as your self.
Satan don't love me! Hell is not my neighborhood. He's pretty frustrated with me about now! Of course I'm putting it nicely, it only frustrates him more.
May God's love shine through you. Peace.
