Now, for the baptized Catholic who frequents the sacraments and maintains a state of grace, demons do not have much sway. For the godless, demons have no real reason to bother - that battle is essentially won (unless the person is moved by grace and open to it). So, the battle is over those who are considering faith in God. (Satan also attacks God's strongholds - such as the priesthood - through sins of the flesh (think pedophilia and other carnal temptations here)). God is greater and cannot be defeated...but WE have free will and can choose to act on temptations.
Pretty amazing that you agree a demon could cloud your mind with one breath and in the next paragraph state that you could not be deceived.
A and not A in the same post.
Magic and logic don't go together.
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?
