Do you believe Satan existed as a human being? Even if he did exist, he wouldn't have been human.

My friend certainly does.An atheist can believe in the supernatural (though they rarely do) but Satan, as a character, was created by god. If you believe Satan exists, then you believe he was created by god, whom you also believe in (but do not necessarily worship). If you believe in Satan, but not that god created him, then he isn't the same Satan.

1. You said you were a Satanist at one point (allegedly).
2. If you believe in Satan then either you believe in the god who created him, or you believe in some sort of demon you're labeling "Satan" for convenience.
I'm not a Satanist. I'm Muslim. I said I know an Atheist who believes Satan exists because of the kind of things that they do. (They believe the Bible/Qur'an etc. are totally false but they do accept some characters existed such as Muhammad, Jesus, Moses, and yes Satan as well. And no, they don't believe in God. I geniunely don't see why you have beef with this. Why do you think it's impossible that an Atheist believes in Satan? As far as I'm concerned, it's no different to believing that Jesus Christ existed...?

I was merely trying to put something out there. As far as the IQ of Atheists on this forum, I really don't know. If there were to be a scientific study comparing the average IQ of this forum's regular Atheist users to the average person, I'd hypothesize that the forum user's IQ would be higher. Just a hunch.I seriously doubt the IQ of Atheists on this forum is high. What they are good at though, is trying to use swear words, insinuations and insults as valid arguments.
