YES, we mock the religious because they are lost in theology and dogma. They reject (ignore?) the message of CHRIST in favor of one of POWER, JEALOUSY and INSECURITY.

I see that you are relatively new out here. Welcome! If you get frustrated with the mindless attacks, as many Christian posters have, you will need to acquaint yourself with the "Ignore" function. It makes this forum much more palatable.

The thing many do not realize about Satan is that he has no power or authority to come against God, but, is instead, the enemy of mankind. However, his power is limited by God to lies and deceit --- which fills the vacuum created in people who refuse to stand firm on God's truth. God, likewise, does not 'force' anyone to believe Him or trust Jesus Christ. He has provided the truth in His inspired word and empowered it by His Holy Spirit. "Those who suppress God's truths are without excuse." (Rom. 1:18-20)
Now, why would God allow Satan to lie and deceive his precious children if them sinning from it offends him?

You're cheating. That's circular reasoning. You're making theological statements while criticizing theology.

I can just see you standing in a park, it is summertime, a couple walks by and one says to the other "the grass is so green" and you approach saying " prove it".

That would be self-evident. The assertions that have been made on this thread by non-believers are not self-evident, they are opinion.

Do you have any evidence or are we just suppose to teak your word for what you say? Not me, I'm from Missouri.

1st John 5:4-5 says "For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world".
1st John 16:33 has Jesus saying "I have overcome the world".
Rev.3:21 has Jesus saying "overcome even as I have overcome". (overcome the world)
Rev 2:26-28 has The Christ saying "And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, . . . I will give him the morning star."
In Revelation 22:16 the Christ says "I am the . . . bright and morning star."


And still religionists don't see what is being said here though it is spelled out plainly.
You don't have the ability, although you seem to think you do, if Christians see what is being here.

It is usually the secular religionist who do not understand anything in the Bible.

That is exactly the ones we want to discuss things with. They are not the enemy, they are the victim of the enemy.
