Atheists, do you understand how Satan convinces you he doesn't exist?

Question

I would like to educate you (by the way, there is an actual question at the end of this so be patient).

You see, Satan has telepathic powers. That is how he tempts all of us. He puts suggestions into our heads and we have the choice on whether or not we choose to follow them.

I understand Christian doctrines are confusing because different religons teach you different things, but Satan does tempt us using telepathy.

Some Christians say Satan does not have telepathy but think about it. How SPECIFICALLY would Satan tempt us if he didn't use telepathy? You could say he uses other people but how specifically are they tempted? Ulitmately, it would have to originate from Satan or one of his demons either appearing before us or telepathically putting suggestions into our heads. You could say Satan tempts us with drugs, but how specifically? He isn't going to make drugs magically appear in front of you. No, he uses telepathy.

I know this sounds silly, but it's the truth. Sometimes the truth sounds silly. Evolution states that we are indirectly related to bananas because all life forms share a common ancestor. At first, this sounds silly too.

Satan convinces you he doesn't exist by using his telepathic powers to put suggestions into your head to make you think he isn't real. You don't have to give into this.

Okay, here's the question:

Have you ever felt a thought that seemed to come from OUTSIDE your head?

For example, we Christians sometimes say we feel the Holy Spirit and it is an EXTERNAL presence.

So, have you ever had the appearance of an external presence in your head?

I know you think that's impossible, BUT have you ever been given the illusion that you're feeling an outside source in your thoughts?

Answer 1

Your wall of text fails to convince me that Satan exists.

No, I have never felt an outside source in my thoughts.  I am not actually psychotic.

Answer 2

You say "this is the truth" w/out offering ANY evidence whatsoever.  Not even flawed evidence.  Your telling me he is using telepathy w/out telling me how he is doing it, why he is doing it, or how you know he is doing it.

Why wouldn't he just jab me w/ his pitchfork?

Answer 3

"Atheists, do you understand how Satan convinces you he doesn't exist?"

The same way apparently god does (and leprachauns, easter bunny, and santa claus): by not providing a single shred of evidence for his existence.

Answer 4

It's amazing that someone named Kris, from who knows where, knows the secrets of the universe.

I'm shocked and awed I tell you.

(gag)

Answer 5

No, but your explanation would convince me you should order a fast taxi and get to the nearest institute for the mentally insane before you harm someone.

Answer 6

Dude... that's just your mind. That's all it is. Indoctrination is what has convinced you that every bad thought comes from the "Devil." It's just you. We all have good and bad in us.

Answer 7

Telepathy, to us Atheists, sounds just as 'silly', if not more so, than evolution to a Christian.

Also, Atheist reject a Christian's point of view.  If a Christian tries to convince an Atheist about their point of view by using ideas only acceptable if you accept Christianity, its like plugging a power cord into a socket backwards.  

Answer 8

Wow, Kris--AWESOME logic!

NOT!!!!!

Answer 9

No.  No thoughts from any external source.  Neither celestial nor infernal.

You embarrass your faith.

Answer 10

for some reason, i feel presence of outside influences when i'm busy with my vibrator.  i hear voices sometimes, specially when i have it set on SUPERHIGH.

Answer 11

So, they have internet in the asylum now? That's nice.

Answer 12

You need to seek counseling if you are hearing voices from sources that aren't there.

Answer 13

You might want to talk to your doctor about increasing your lithium dosage.

Answer 14

Once I heard the voice of Satan, but then I realized that my tin foil hat had fallen off.

I wear a chin strap now.

Do you have any idea how ridiculous you sound?

Answer 15

I have just consulted with the Flying Spaghetti Monster and he has assured me that satan does NOT exist.  You may now get on with your life.

Answer 16

no i have not

have you?

i mean, if hes so good at disguising, then you are subject to the same problem as me, ie satan convincing you of things ,

so, how do you know satan hasnt convinced you that we are being convinced by satan?

so,how do you know that satan hasnt convinced you he is actually god?

truthfully, you really dont

Answer 17

Please, talk to the people at the Salvation Army.

It is free, and you can talk to someone that can help you understand those feelings.

They know and care.

Answer 18

I never asked you to educate me.  And to top it off, you call educating someone ranting about telepathy of a demon in h**l?  There is no satan. That idea was made up by people that did not understand the world and meant to scare you into following their ideals.  SUCKER!

Answer 19

No evidence for a satan. No evidence for a god. No evidence for your post being rational...  

Answer 20

okay, this is the dumbest thing i've ever heard in my life. it's people like you who drove me to become an atheist. you have no concept of reality! TELEPATHY! are you freaking kidding me?  

Answer 21

Does his supervillain team have uniforms?  I hope they don't use capes.  They are soooooo last century.

Answer 22

"I would like to educate you"

Step one is for you to go get an education. You know it sounds silly. I know it IS silly. This means you have a ways to go before teaching me.

To answer your question:

No. All my thoughts are me-generated.

Answer 23

You are a fool. God says your a fool. God knows satan doesn't exist, stop believing the hype and get a life

Answer 24

I can't figure out if you are an atheist poking fun at Christian logic, or a Christian who actually believes this c**p.  So you are either very, very clever...or very, very stupid.

Answer 25

Exactly the same way the Invisible Space Monkeys have convinced YOU that they don't control the earth's weather patterns.

Answer 26

I second the "dumbass" comment. I would also like to add "crackpot."

Answer 27

You only have 6 points. Go answer some questions, make yourself useful, instead of talking ****.  

Answer 28

How SPECIFICALLY would Satan tempt us if he didn't use telepathy? You could say he uses other people but how specifically are they tempted?

You're relying on the false premise that this Satan character really exists.

I propose that the Holy Spirit is a placebo.

Answer 29

Hi, I am a Satanist.

I do not believe Satan exists. :)

(Does that break your brain?)

I am quite sure all my thoughts come from my head. If Satan exists, he instead must control my dreams, because I don't know why else I would dream of a giant yellow rabbit killing people.  

Answer 30

So, following your sermon, the real question would be: "Do you listen to the voices in your head?".

No, I don't.  There are no transmission receiving fillings in my noggin.

Answer 31

Well, you see the Flying Spaghetti Monster convinced you that there was a different God, to test mankind, and you failed.

Dumbass.
