The True Satan?

Hi, my name is Doug. I haven't posted in these forums for at least 6 months. When I logged in this morning I got this:

Hello Wintermute it appears that you have not posted on our forums in several weeks, why not take a few moments to ask a question, help provide a solution or just engage in a conversation with another member in any one of our forums?

So, I figured I better hop to it!

The topics being discussed in this formum seem to be indistinguishable from those of six months ago. You have the folks that think there is some sort of creator, and those that don't. Both argue with conviction and passion. Then you have agnostic goobers like me that get more and more uncertain as we read all of these well written posts (I'm just assuming there are a few of us). My off-topic question is: Has anyone changed thier minds or gained a deeper understanding of the opposite's perspective? If so, this would seem to be a worthy forum.

I think I have learned some things from reading the posts here, so I will continue to do so. And, occasionally, I'll post something to keep from being yelled at by the forum.

Moderator: Sorry, didn't know what else to post.

i'm almost at same page as Rockin, that is what i think too ...
i'm just following one law and that is , my moral code...
My moral is telling me what is good what bad / evil.

I would be careful with saying "Satan is evil in and of himself" if you are going to quote Lewis. Lewis most definitely believed that evil can not exist in and of itself but can only be a perversion of something good.
