See, the reason I ask is that I too met Satan. Must have been after you did though, because I caught him slightly unaware of what was going on and I destroyed him.
Now I know you'll say that I'm making that up, and I thought about that as I stood there in awe of what had just happened. Nobody will believe what's happened or who did it.
What calmed my nerves though was that Jesus then appeared, and he thanked me for doing what legions of men before had failed to do. Jesus said the only thing that truly mattered was the he had seen what I'd done, and it would never be forgotten.
So you see, I too have met Satan, and Jesus.
Well...I've never met Jesus, and don't particularly care to. I'm pretty sure that Jesus really is a fiction, though
Messiach is not, and probably not
Christos.
The point I hinted at, that I will spell out in slightly plainer terms, in previous posts, is this: there are many hundreds of accounts of people who have met Satan. Some of them are clearly spurious, because the bulk of those accounts establish a kind of context in which those meetings take place, and the spurious ones bear no resemblance to the ones that disclose the correct procedure. There are things you have to do and accomplish. Those true accounts form a kind of repeatable experiment, because there are many generations of them. People in one generation do something, and Satan shows up. People in the next generation read what their ancestors did, do it, and Satan shows up. And so for the next generation. And so on. There is a procedure that is repeatable. I am bound by oath to, on the one hand, state publicly that there is such a thing, but on the other, to not reveal its details. Again, you can read about it in the accounts of Christian, Jewish, and Islamic mystics--all the way from the 3rd century down to the 20th (I'm not aware of any published accounts this century). And if you can commit to the procedure, Satan will show up.
I suppose I can tell you this much: it begins by taking an oath before the appropriate authorities to be a helper of all, and to recognize all beings--humans, animals, plants, rocks, abstract entities, misguided spirits, klipoth, and God Himself--as close kin to yourself, and to treat them accordingly, and to live accordingly.
The mistake that atheists make about people who are genuinely religious is that they think belief in God, Satan, Christ, Avalokitesvara, Siva, etc. are like belief in the local bakery, belief in evolution, belief in the news of the day. If you meet someone who is genuinely religious (assuming you are not) you are meeting someone who has been places few ever have. You could convince me that the corner bakery is an illusion, a hologram, or some such. You cannot convince me of that with God, because I know a secret you do not--it's not a secret because I refuse to tell you. It's a secret because it cannot be adequately communicated in words; if I told you, what you would hear is not the truth. But one thing that secret
entails is that, if God did not exist, neither would I, you, or anyone else. How I know that, I'm not going to explain because, again, I cannot. I can only tell you that, should you wish to understand, it is possible to do so. I've already dropped more hints than I ever received on how to do it.
But again, I must emphasize that this is something that has worked for multiple people in the past--hundreds that are documented in the public sphere if you look diligently enough, and many thousands that are kept private.
The good news is Satan no longer is a threat to mankind, or you. Satan has ceased to be.
So rest easily my friend, and release your burden of fear.
Satan is hardly a threat to anyone, and he never was. His power is insignificant compared to God, or (in terms of the moral properties usually attributed to him) even compared to the power of an ordinary human being. Furthermore, he is not evil in any sense most people would understand. He's actually a very nice fellow, and I consider him a brother. I'm certainly not afraid of him. He's much better company, and much more genuine and sincerely and thoroughly good, than most people who call themselves Christians.
