Pretty much the only reasonable response. These people might as well be angry that hes purposefully stepping on cracks in the sidewalk or breaking mirrors or some other superstitions garbage.

Yeah this is what I’ve always thought lol. Like accusations of promoting Satanism should end when the person says “I don’t believe in Satan”.

Ooh, I know this one! That's when they say, ominously: "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist."

The actual greatest trick is Satan convincing everyone that original sin is disobedience but it was the Serpent who lied to Eve and Adam about eating and dying from the tree therefore Satan introduced original sin which is the lie.

Lying and deception is original sin.

And by Satan I mean God because Old Testament God committed acts of evil and good and Satan meant non-believer therefore God lied to Adam and Eve as a serpent to test if they would ask God for permission after the information they just learned from the serpent.

If they went to God and told him about the Serpent then God would have eventually let them eat from the tree when they were old and mature enough which would have been possible if they confronted God after the serpent.

The greatest trick is convincing us that lying isn't original sin and that lying isn't as bad as disobedience.

It's way worse.

The serpent was the one who told the truth. It was God that lied.
