So I won't pick on you because of it. ....but a friend of Satan? You have to appreciate that where I do not take offence when someone speaks of conceptual beings as if they are real corporeal entities, I often wonder why they do. At least when having dialogue with me. What you are saying to me in your comment is that you may find enough redeeming qualities in an individual that does not believe in God to consider the possibility of them being your friend. I personally do not use belief versus non belief as any form of qualifier in choosing my friends but to each their own. That is not to say however that I would not shun someone who believes in something completely insane from my inner circle. If it became known to me that one of my associates felt a kinship with a mythical entity that was clearly invented by the medieval church of Rome and known as Satan. I would no doubt place them lower on my friends list, maybe forget to invite them to any parties or whatever. I may even attempt to get them some professional help, so I guess in a roundabout way I agree with you, though I would suspect that our reasoning differs as to why.

gomedome, I would rather be friends with an atheist than
one who calls himself a Christian and yet is a friend of Satan! Keep writing,
