Everytime someone challanges you,
they are Satan.
(or else, they are just someone challanging you) lolol

That's not what I meant, please, don't twist my words. Let me explain what I think, if I was unclear.
Everyone someone challenges me or hurts me, they are themselves, doing it (purposely or otherwise) out of their own free will. God and Satan are above us. They only use these incidents to test us. They are tools for them. Not the people - their actions, the circumstances that arise from them.
And they both sit back and watch what I do with it. If I fail, I can always rise and try again - this is what God wants me to do. If I fail and give up, remain thinking about myself that I'm no good, not worth it, defeated - that's achieving Satan's goal. In the end, I lose my faith because of the common misconception that God should have sprung to my help. But, by remaining defeated, I denied Him the chance...
Does it make more sense now?
Why is it Only those who "Walk with God" have Encountered Satan?
Ah I see. An interesting notion, I'm not very familiar with it. So, in a way, God and Satan are, for you, just manifestations of ourselves? The good and the bad side of our psyche?
Why is it always those who "walk with god" who have some sort of personal experience with Satan? Why doesn't he ever present himself in any way to Atheists? If I'm on his team, why doesn't he ever show up to kick my *** for slacking off on my duty to persecute christians? Shouldn't your personal relationship with jesus protect you from Satan? I've been an atheist for over 15 years and I've never encountered even the slightest evidence for satan.

Or even necessary relabeling.If you're not willing to engage in a little unnecessary relabeling, then how do you expect to ever encounter satan? Or god for that matter.

Of course.Relabeling nonetheless.
It's The Reds that are under the bed, Phil. Satan tends to hang around the seedy bars and the occasional brothel.:yes:It's not our fault you don't look under your bed at night.
Why?To accept the existence of Satan surely you must accept the existence of God.
Then there would be no question of Universal Soveriegnty. There would be no way for people to choose who the best deity is to follow. Though not part of my belief system, this is the way that it was once explained to me.Why?
