Not offended at all I was just pointing out that the implication of a Satan is that someone is pure evil,I consider it disrespectful to term anyone in that way.
I have no belief in a Devil now myself.

I said a long while ago on here I think, I lost that view for me, when I thought about it and could not get a rational conclusion.
As to why a Devil/Satan who was fighting endlessly against a God,making people do as much wrong as they could,would then when they die, punish them in hell for doing his bidding.
That made no sense to me personally at all,surely in that scenario someone doing great wrong would be welcomed and protected by a Devil/Satan.

However I would still respect the belief and thoughts others had on the matter and would not dismiss their position as to it.
No offence at all,I love debating with those agreeing with me and with those not.
You make strong and valid points all the time.
