Is Satan capable of manipulating the internet?

Post by Willum »

There is a debate raging about Satan on another OP, but I think it is funny in the light of arguing about a non-existent creature.

Even so, Satan has a heck of a lot of powers. Typing I expect, might be one of them. Manipulating the internet, might be one of them.

Since God has a non-interference policy, and Satan does not -
What stops old Nick from completely manipulating mankind from the complete carrot and stick approach?

The amount of power he'd have, especially on forums like this one is frighteningly incalculable.

Since, that is game over, isn't this just another proof that Satan, and probably God himself just don't exist?

Perhaps, but this isn't the doctrine page.
I assume God is going to continue to do exactly what he has been doing exactly nothing.

I am afraid I am going with Shakespeare and the Bible for powers. I assume we can list succubi, Mephistopheles and so on with there list of powers, as powers.

In the immortal word of Steve Rogers...
"I don't know, what does anyone really know about angels?"

I am open to negotiation.

Yeah but how do you expect to debate God and Satan without doctrine?

Sounds good to me, I have always personally like the succubi. It reminds me of quite a lot of women I have known :D

Yeah well I am no smarter than Steve Rogers on this point, I have not seen any angels around these parts, so if they are not on your side of the globe they sure camouflage well.

I guess the main thing about Angels or Devils is supposed great spiritual powers which comes from different sources which may relate to humans, but not directly to the internet from my understanding.

But I suppose if you can manipulate humans you can manipulate the internet.

You know if Satan and Devils, Succubi and little Imps are real that's really quite a scary idea, but ok I guess the world seems to be a scary place, not at all the Peter Pan world I used to see when I was just a little Imp myself. ;)

Yeah, that's good - if you don't mind the diversion:

Maybe we should try to parameterize what angels can do:
On one side of the spectrum, the Bible says they can't do anything at all without God.
But that makes Satan a chump more useless than a human.

The we have the Book of Job, with boils and murder and stuff.

What do you think?
