If You Knew Someone Was Divine, Would You Be More Respectful?

Everyone and everything is essentially divine and holy -though not everyone acts correctly and certain things are inappropriate at various times for various reasons.

A lack of respect for ourselves, others and all things makes all things less than they could be, and respect allows people and things to be or become as they should be.
With respect and necessary knowledge applied, the present could be a paradise.

Though certain actions and attitudes are profane, respect is still due to allow for the overall situation to be made right.

Though God -whose place it was -cast Satan out as profane -and Satan does not intend good for us, it is not our place to show disrespect even to him.

This same respect is shown by Daniel to Nebuchadnezzar. Though Daniel and his people were taken captive by the king and were not always treated well, when Daniel addressed him he said "O, King, live forever" -because he knew it is not God's desire to destroy or kill any, and that it was God's decision that Nebuchadnezzar was set over them.

It was God's decision that Satan be set over the world -and that he wil be laid before the kings of the Earth -and it is God's business to rebuke him.
If we are made immortal, we will then judge the affairs of angels -but even though Satan's intent is not good, he is still given authority to act and affect us by God.
Though it would be sin to obey him rather than God, it would also be sin to be disrespectful.

Ezekiel 28:16
By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire

Jude 1:8Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. 9Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. 10But these speak evil of those things which they know not:"...........
