Can the forum's christians see the demons in other people?

No. It fits with the idea that god created Satan in part so he'd have someone to label as the 'bad guy' for him to protect us from.

Even if it is only in part, it's still pretty "messed up". Creating a bad guy to fight him is something that is done either by clever tyrants or by the mentally insane.

I think that God likely made covenants with Satan as he has with men. We're not privy to them as we don't need to be.

Whenever a rational thinker finds a contradiction in the Christian myths (not a big effort: Christianity is riddled with contradictions) or argues that god behaves more like an insane dictator than the source of all goodness, the apologists always play the card of the "mysterious ways" of their god.
