-Caveat Lector-
Dear Robert,
What you have quoted from Solomon is fine, but you cannot cherry pick The
Bible. The very same source tells us unequivocally that Satan is real.
It is Satan who teaches that people he does not exist, so that you will not
see him coming, or his hand in world and personal events, so that you cannot
fight
against him, because you do not believe he exists. A perfect
defence-strategy and attack-strategy, that leaves people defenceless against
him.
Peace be upon you,
JAH.
