It is not. It isn't even irrelevant to my argument. You just beg the question by assuming God isn't letting Satan (I almost said Stan, ha!) deceive you for some good God deems greater then your personal salvation. This is my problem with Christianity even if you assume supernaturalism you still have a self-defeater namely that you can't give a good reason to believe you are not being deceived by the devil. Christianity leads to global skepticism.
So, if anything you've helped make my case for me.
The point I want to make is Biblical theism has a self-defeater because in the OT Yahweh had Satan test Job. If the scriptural data is to be trusted(as Christians say it should) it is Yahweh's character to test his creations faith. What better way to test his creations then to have Satan create a false religion called Christianity with a false prophet?
