I've been speaking to a few of the more hardcore Christians at my school lately, and they seem to keep saying the following:
"Satan buried the fossils to deceive the faithless"
"Satan created all of the other religions to trick people."
"History is of Satan."
"You are possessed, you just don't know it."
"Satan forced Darwin to conjure evolution."
"Satan is running wild through our sin ridden world. Technology is his tool."
"Satan corrupted the Bible through translation and is deceiving people through so and so non KJV version."
Now, I know there are moderate Christians who can see right through this, so I am not trying to stereotype ALL Christians or theists in general. This is not intended to stir up a debate.
I'd like to know how to refute this. Obviously Satan leaves no traces of evidence other than through rabid fundamentalists. Is this refutable (through Biblical (yes, use the Bible to refute intellectual dishonestly) or logical means)
It really gets on my nerves.
