I personally think some of the comments on this site can get pretty ridiculous at times, more importantly, they can utterly obliterate an otherwise important message. However, you know what is said about opinions and how they are like a particular body part (everybody’s got one, and they all stink). The thing I have seen that truly ruins credibility is when atheists/agnostics/whatever pontificate about the Bible, yet they don’t believe in it in the first place.

Thanks, one of the churches I attend has been doing a Bible study on Satan so I'm esp attuned. I think he'd love nothing more than attributing his actions to a state of mind or some other nebulous thing rather than an actual malevolent being
What would be the difference in things in your eyes. The influence would be the same right. Please expand
A mindset can be eliminated, an entity exists regardless of people adopting his views and therefore remains a danger and an influence.
If you don't believe in the entity then you are even more susceptible to temptation because as long as you have the "right" mindset you can potentially still do the work of evil without knowing it
If I get rid of a prideful mindset does it mean I can no longer ever experience pride. There is still the possibility right. Like the mindset of pride still exists.
Again I don't understand what that person u/PeaceAndLovePatriot was trying to say. They could expand on their words better then I. I'm just continuing the Convo not necessarily where I stand on things. See your thoughts on the topic
Put it this way, let's say 9/11 was bc of a mindset and let's assume it was real and we got rid of that mindset and now the world was free of terror?
But now let's say the CIA and Mossad were behind it. They'd love nothing more than for you to think it was a) a mindset and b) solvable leaving them free to do their dirt behind the scenes and blame the next attack on a different "mindset" rather than the real perp, of whom your awareness and resistance to can have real consequences for your immortal soul.
