I mean, there are a lot of good people out there, that doesn't make them saved, but they don't love or worship satan, they either just don't know or have seen bad christians that scare them into being christians... They are not on God' side, but they have the choice and it doesn' t mean they love satan!!!

I know a none christian is not with God but I meant they don't love satan, they are not saved since they are not with God but they are not satan worshippers. Just lost as we all were before we gave our life to Christ...
I believe that kind of statement "all none christians love satan" is exactly what will prevent them to come to us and ask important questions... they feel judged and tagged.... that's what bother's me

Because their particular brand of Christianity preaches fire and brimstone in the pulpit every Sunday and teach the mentality that you are either with them or against them.

I have no idea, honestly. I can't tell you how many times I've said, "My religion doesn't teach in the existence of Satan," and gotten that, "Whatever, you're a devil-worshipper," look. It's very frustrating. Seriously, my religion sees everything as a never-ending attempt at balancing positive and negative forces, but that doesn't mean that the negative are necessarily bad. They're just part of nature. Mental disorders are often the cause of human negativity that results in violence, and that is about the only time that negative forces are anything other than beneficial in some way, and even that is natural because it's still a part of us. I'm not condoning allowing those with violent disorders a place in society, but it's been proven that most have something terribly wrong with them, and they deserve only to be shut away or put out of our misery, not hated.

I would assume that a lot of non-Christians would also not believe in Satan, and therefore are probably not "in love" with him.
I will let some other Christian on here tell you how you either belong to God or to Satan. Obviously from a Christian perspective there is no other option, but I understand how confining and narrow minded that appears to non-Christians.
I hope this answer helps somehow.

Many people see the world in terms of black/white; either/or. This binary mode of thinking makes life much simpler if you'd prefer not to give things a lot of thought.
Some people prefer not to make any distinctions or claim an opinion.
Others merely follow a concept as far as they can; where ever they stop, that's what their opinion is.
But I think most of us, thankfully, can't help but make distinctions, form opinions and stake out beliefs. Our minds are always racing and evaluating everything. Most of us are perfectly capable of everyday logic . . . common sense.
Those who think the only options are to be Christian or to be Satan Worshippers obviously don't think very critically about their beliefs nor about the impressions they make on others.
These people show a lack of common sense -- at least where religion and communication are concerned. Don't listen to them!

Satan is a deciever, he lies. He IS powerful enough to
mislead people into either decieving themselves that
there is no God and no satan, making them easy work
for him; or he practices decieving them into believing that
being a good person is okay.
The answer is knowing the Word. Remember that satan
appeared to Jesus in the desert, and tried to tempt Him
three times, but Jesus rebuked Him with Scripture, which
is exactly what you should do.
Ignorance is not a defense in any court, especially God's
court. If you have Jesus as your defense attorney, you are
forgiven. Those who deny Jesus don't neccesarily love
satan, but they do love the world, and that makes them
satan's toys.

I am an eclectic pagan, and I believe in and worship many goddesses and gods. I don't worship the Christian god, nor do I worship or believe in Satan. I've run into plenty of people who think my beliefs make me hellbound (don't believe in hell, either), so I learned to mostly keep my beliefs to myself. I guess for some people it's got to be either/or.

First of all, if you followed the teachings of Jesus, you would know that all of mankind is saved through the "blood of the lamb". It is up to the individual to accept that salvation. As for why some people think people that believe different from them love Satan, it is because they are ignorant. The protestants think the Catholics are going to hell. The baptist think the Pentecostals are going to hell. The Christians think the Jews are going to hell. The Muslims think we are all going to hell. You can not make sense of all the different religions because it is senseless. Too many people using religion to promote their own agenda.

Your absolutely right.The Bible defines them as "ungodly". Ungodly people can be nice people.They just don't have God in their life's.Of course if your not serving God then who are you really serving? For no man can serve two masters.
Sounds like you are deceived.What do you think would happen if your children were misbehaving and you went out and gave them an ice cream? That's exactly what is being done today with the ungodly.Their made to think that their behavior is excepted by Christians.Just like the children who are given a ice cream for their disobedient.When we all stand before God someday as we will,don't be surprised if they don't look you in the eye and say, Why didn't you tell me the truth?

Ignorance still persists. So does the hatered. I mean real-life insults by Christians when they find a person is of other faith.
How very un-Christian of them.
But I guess them believing in polarity of God-Christians non-Christan-of devil... duh... why waste time just ignore them....
I have a q. for you since you seem (am I right?) to be on a liberal Christian (if there is such a thing) side - do you think that non-Christian beliefs/Religions have no their own concept of afterlife therefore one automatically needs to be saved by your God?

The idea of "satan" is a christian concept. Those of us who are not christian generally do not believe in satan, and therefore, cannot love him.
Christians who think this are small-minded sheeple.
