...and it is working all over the world, it obviously worked on you.A comment such as yours has zero credibility from my perspective.
That's a relief. If I had credibility from your perspective I'd have myself chained and whipped until I learned how to be more intelligent.
It has also provides zero evidence to back up your bold assertions.
Did I forget to cite my sources? My apologies.
Introduction to Logic
And the Catholic Church's arguments, miracles and other empirical evidence for God, for Jesus Christ, are about 1000 times more convincing than anyone else's arguments or evidence for Allah, Zeus, Buddha, Hindu gods, Eastern gods, animist gods, tribal gods, or atheism. Choose wisely.
And therein lies the problem. There are infinitely better ways to explain and justify one's faith. Resorting to such absurd nonsense as "The Devil's greatest trick is to make the world believe he doesn't exist" is the highest order of pathetic mindlessness.
Ye of little faith...
The simple fact is God uses satan, sin and whatever else he likes for his purposes... All of it far beyond any of our understanding.A little reading and you will discover that Satan is not a product of religion but a product of superstition and Paganism.
That is....debatable. First of all, it should be noted that Paganism is a form of religion, and it's arguable that all religions are partially the product of superstition. Pagan traditions generally reject the notion of a Satan type figure. The Christian Satan is an example of religious Duality. That is, a recognition of two ultimate divine powers. Good comes from God, evil comes from Satan. The first religion to adopt such a view was Zoroastrianism. Before that, the idea of a Satan type character never existed in any known religious sect. The various "old time" religious schools that have persisted into the modern day continue to lack a belief in a Satan type of figure.
The development of a Satan type character in Christianity stems from Zoroastrian influence, as does other elements of Christianity, such as the Christian concept and imagery of angels. These ideas are marked diversions from the Judaism from which Christianity originated. At the turn of the Common Era Zoroastrianism influence was spreading into the Levant. It is believe by many scholars that Jesus himself studied Eastern philosophies and religions; Jesus may have even traveled through parts of the east during the missing 30 years, and assimilated many influences into his Judaic upbringing, which could explain why as a Pharisee he ended up waging a revolutionary-style ministry against the better part of Pharisee teachings. That Satan exists in Christianity is best explained as the type of cross fertilization that occurs in religious evolution when new influences are introduced.
Would you consider Richard Dawkins, Stephen Hawking and Carl Sagan (famous highly intelligent atheists) to be logical minds? Yes, I would. Therefore, logic alone does not cut it. Apparently pride and/or ego trump sensibility and evidence.
Your comment "there are infinitely better ways to explain and justify one's faith" does nothing for me.
Secondly, are you implying that you are a Christian believer? If so, wonderful. Based on what reason I might ask?

Ye of little faith...
Repeating the same self contained dogma does not substantiate it. My religion contains no Satan-type figure. Are you really going to sit there and claim that I am of my religion because Satan made me do it?
Would you consider Richard Dawkins, Stephen Hawking and Carl Sagan (famous highly intelligent atheists) to be logical minds? Yes, I would. Therefore, logic alone does not cut it. Apparently pride and/or ego trump sensibility and evidence.
Wait a second....are you really trying to say that adhering to abhorrently illogical reasoning is sensible and evidentiary? How can you sensibly evaluate evidence without applying logical principles?
Your comment "there are infinitely better ways to explain and justify one's faith" does nothing for me.
That is a shame. Because that is exactly the kind of mind that falls to the false prophets of which Jesus spoke.
Secondly, are you implying that you are a Christian believer? If so, wonderful. Based on what reason I might ask?
No, I am not Christian. I am of a different faith. I have my reasons, as everyone has their reasons for their beliefs. Notice that nowhere have I challenged anyone on having faith, or on what particular religion they may follow. I challenge people based on abhorrent reasoning. So be a Christian. I hope that it provides endless satisfaction and spiritual sustenance for you. But for the love of all things holy, do not desecrate your own religion by adhering to it on nothing more than dogma. A religion built upon a man who taught us to remove planks from our eyes deserves better than that.

If it's all far beyond your understanding,
why are you claiming to understand that it exists?
Satan plays the foolish, while knowing all along HIS fate is already sealed.
Yes, satan has tricked all those of the this world knowing he could...
