[Christian suggesting atheists are Satan's followers.]
why should it be of concern to the Christian that Athiets put the Word of God out of context. Born Again Christians are usually very aware of this very well known ploy of Satan his demons and his followers. When it comes to the clever, decietful,artful and sly craft of telling the truth - but not quite all the truth about the Bible, Satan, his demons and his followers are the proverbial 'bees knees" and "cats whiskers" all in one!

We call it like we see it, God fans. And if God and Satan exist at all, then we are part of God's plan to do what we are doing, so there.
"When it comes to the clever, decietful,artful and sly craft of telling the truth - but not quite all the truth about the Bible,"
So, you admit that we are telling most of the truth about the Bible?
Well, gosh golly darn, Satan's just the bee's knees and the cat's whiskers, now isn't he? Gee willikers, that's far out!
Sorry, the outdated, sanitized slang was just too much.
This is the problem with trying to discuss anything with these people: they refuse to accept any authority outside of the bible, and if you do try to "talk scripture" with them, they inevitably fall back to the old "even satan can quote scripture for his purposes" line, and reboot their fundie operating system.
It's like trying to re-animate the dead with psychotherapy...
Funny, a friend who claimed to be a Satanist told me that they hate atheist far more than any Christian (especially fundamentalists). Christians stand in proper awe and fear in their hatred of the power of Satan. Atheist don't acknowledge him at all, so they don't feel that they owe him in any respect at all.

I'm not sure how you can be the proverbial Bee's Knees or Cat's Whiskers ... but really, how can you be deceitful when you are telling the truth? Has he stumbled on a clever paradox, or his own idiocy? Leave it to a Christian to contradict themselves.
flipper:

If this is a serious statement, and not just mockery of the posted quote, I have one thing to point out:
Actual satanists don't believe in Satan. Or God. Or any divinity outside of humankind's 'divine spark.' They're like some kind of self-centrist survival-of-the-fittest Buddhists, actually.
Satanists believe in the god of the individual. That one is responsible for what is good and bad, for what is subjective terms that make good and bad. That we acknowledge the power we have with the decisions we make and not blame our faults and misfortunes on some demonic hatemonger-though more damage has been done in the name of God than in Satan.
That sins are just our instincts since we are also part of the animal kingdom, and since we have brains that are reasonable, logical, strategic we are at times worse then the average animal-we are all sinners.
The worst sin for a satanist is stupidity, not murder or kindness.
God and Satan are YOUR beliefs.
If atheists don't believe in ANY god or ANY demon, how are atheists "Satan's followers"? Why would they follow something they don't believe in?
So, what truth about the Bible is missing? Is there a verse saying "Don't bother with what that hippie carpenter said, just listen to the OT and to Paul" that we haven't found yet? That would explain the behavior of A LOT of the Religious Right...
We "Athiets" don't believe in Satan either; that's YOUR imaginary friend, or enemy, or whatever.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
