    There's certainly no way you could have any idea about that, so of course   
   there's no reason for me to put any faith in the possibility that you might be   
   correct about your claim.

    There may not be. Then again there may be, which is one of the basic   
   starting lines you're mentally incapable of getting as "far" as. If there   
   are/is   
   then what I pointed out is VERY obvious, which is another one of the basic   
   starting lines you're mentally incapable of getting as "far" as.   
      
   >or that the one you worship even exists.   
      
    If there is any deity associated with Earth people obviously have varying   
   beliefs about "him" and referr to "him" in a number of different ways. That's   
   yet ANOTHER basic starting line you're mentally incapable of getting as "far"   
   as. You trying to discuss this topic is much like a stupid blind person trying   
   to "discuss" a painting by arguing that it doesn't exist. LOL...again just   
   describing the position you're in is hilarious!

   >>for you more than once already.   
   >   
   >I don't believe in any deities,   
      
    That has nothing at all to do with whether or not they exist, which   
   obviously is yet another basic starting line you're not mentally capable of   
   getting as "far" as.   
      
   >Satan is just another deity that I don't believe in.   
      
    If he does exist it seems fairly obvious that he wants people to believe he   
   does not, so you're as he wants you to be in that respect. It's also obvious   
   that he wants people to believe God doesn't exist, so if Satan does exist you   
   are as he wants you to be.   
      
   >When you have evidence for some of them, let me know.   
      
    I already did, but it's yet ANOTHER basic starting line you're not mentally   
   capable of getting as "far" as. Though YOU ARE as people are encouraged to be   
   in   
   the Satanic Bible, and YOU ARE as people like yourself are depicted in the Holy   
   Bible, you amusingly still can't appreciate any significance to the fact even   
   though it DOES make YOU evidence of God's existence by being evidence of   
   Satan's   
   influence on human minds. Whether he actually does exist or not YOU ARE   
   evidence   
   that he does. Denying it can't change it.
