“He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”
– John 8:44

"Satanists deny God, but in fact Satan owes his existence to God. God created Satan, afterwards Satan fell and became the twisted, wicked being he is today. It is only by God’s forbearance and according to his sovereign will for the span of history that Satan is allowed to do anything at all."
– Pastor Jon Barta, Burbank

(Note: the Church of Satan, being discussed by Barta, also denies the existence of the supernatural being known as Satan 😈)

I wonder if Barta can see the idiocy of his statement? The conflict inherent within it?

1. God created Satan.
2. Satan was created a murderer ("from the beginning") and liar ("from his own nature").
3. Satan operates only because God lets him.

Seems to me that his god is either an idiot or a generally nasty piece of work, the LAST being one should worship.
