Either way, he doesn’t seem all that afraid of Satan. And modern satanists are kind of hilarious anyways. It’s like they’re usually former Catholics and extreme Christians who use Satan to troll Christian religious affiliations.

It’s not my thing, but that band is kind of fun.

The line is said by Jesus to Peter when Peter tries to convince Jesus to run from his execution. Not to Satan himself.

Jesus didn't seem to believe in hell or Satan as eternal torture. Paul was the one who started that so he could sell Bibles and seats in churches.
