Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

2 Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

Thanks for clarifying. But I'm not sure the man's story quite fits. There didn't seem to be any lies sent his way for him to either believe or resist. He just suddenly stopped believing, involuntarily. Couldn't believe even if he wanted to -- and he did want to. He was distressed by this. His own "silver bullets" didn't even work on himself!

I didn't want to think thoughts that God wasn't real, especially after I had had such powerful experiences of his presence, either.
