As far as demonic trickery goes, the deception can only go so far:
If a good God exists, Satan is limited
a good God exists
therefore Satan is limited
If Satan does exist you would be unaware of it. You could only be completely unable to discern the difference.
No, it does not. Invoking tricksters only makes things more inexplicable, as you cannot determine what is their trickery and what is not (including your holy texts btw).
"If a good god exists, Satan is limited"
There is no such thing as Satan, so that's garbage from the get-go.
"a good god exists".
Evidence?
"Therefore satan is limited"
There's alot of work you need to do to this argument before you can reach this conclusion, isn't there?
As you would be unable to discern the difference between an agent of Satan and an agent of god. The bible is clearly the work of an agent of satan, out to malign god with easily dismissed fairy tales of acts he never performed, and promises he never made, all to make him look like an asshole...so that people like me would turn away, and not be saved. You, BL, are an agent of Satan. How does that taste? Again, you invoked the tricksters, and this is something that a trickster would, could, or may do (and before you respond with "the text says that demons cannot do this or that"..that verse is a product of demonic trickery..they don't want you to know what they can and can't do). Your decision to explain what is uncomfortable to you by way of imaginary beasties is childish, and presents more problems without actually answering any questions or explaining anything. Invoking "demons" as an explanation for something is intellectual laziness.
