So, in the presence of people (or peoples arguments) who critically examine your beliefs you feel tempted, which is essentially equivalent to using logic in your explanation......by satan?
Yes, in most cases. I assume that there may be some I haven't encountered.
The experiences of reason and temptation by a demon, with regards to faith, are interchangeable? I could imagine how it might feel that way, regardless of whether or not any tempting by any demon was actually occurring. That being said, what was the most compelling sense of temptation that you have ever experienced in this regard?
The most compelling was probably when one of your moderators broke down what he called 'the absurdity of hell' and compared God to a real parent. I believe Satan used his logical reasoning to tempt me into betraying my worship of the almighty God by invoking my own sinful need (nature) to rationalize my human world.
