I don't think that's a very good philosophy. I ain't gonna turn my back on the Master of Deceit and Lord of Evil. Anytime there is some sort of netherbeast around, I prefer to keep both eyes on it and feel for my hatchet. Sorry, I just can't overcome some prejudices.
shareBe careful.
When MILTON tried to portray SATAN as being the LORD of EVIL in "PARADISE LOST" he also (accidently) ended up turning him into the HERO of that TALE.
Perhaps you've also heard the question asking:
Is it BETTER to REIGN in HELL than to SERVE in HEAVEN???
The DEVIL can be a VERY TRICKY kind of FOE.
So BEWARE of trying to DANCE AROUND with him or attack him with that HATCHET !!!

Still another good story is "THE BROTHERS KARAMAZOV" where one brother (an ANTHEIST) TORMENTS his other brother (a PRIEST in training).
Because that conversation that they have between them is also a very interesting one as well (in regards to dealing with the DEVIL).

What gave you that impression?
Something you read in "Paradise Lost," or in "the BROTHERS" story, or was it something else in general???
I like what ZARATHUSTRA says about his FATHER in "THUS SPOKE ZARATHUSTRA:"
He got himself a SON in a SNEAKY way ...
AT the DOOR to his FAITH stands ADULTRY!!!
Then Z also tells us about how all of the other OLDER GODS (who were sitting around ROCKING in their ROCKING CHAIRS at the time) DIED LAUGHING after they heard the OLD TESTY GOD declare that he was THE ONLY GOD.

My apologies, I meant to reply to the OP.
This is a good observation. Next time you find yourself in the company of the Angel of Light, try saying "Hie thee hence, Satan!" Say it with alternating volume and inflection as though you were capitalizing random parts. This might make him say "fuck this shit" and leave your presence entirely.
If this doesn't work then I suggest sweeping the legs then run into next room and put a lamp shade on your head.
Lol, the old lampshade on the head trick. They've yet to come up with a better disguise than that.
