Yes, it's yet another winner from Yahoo!Answers...
How do I deal with a rich brother who is a Satanist?
I am living with my brother , He is very rich and claims that witches don't warship the devil .
He changed his name to Satan so he could become a famous musician ,,
Every time I try to tell him about Jesus, He just laughs and says ,,, "Jesus is a fraud"
He wont let me have any of my friends over because he dose not want me to and my friends to pray for him.
The place is so full of evil that I cant stand it ,, He knows all about God, as he has a M.Th.S .
I would move but , I dont have any place else to live ,,
How do I deal with all this evil ?
My answer:
If your brother is letting you live with him, I suggest you, you know, actually show him some gratitude for supporting you. Or is respect and acknowledgement of the sacrifice of others not part of your faith?
He's correct that witches do not worship Satan. As for his own specific beliefs, I have no idea, considering that you seem like the type who's likely to cry "OMG, Satan worshipper! EVIL!!!" at the drop of a hat.
And praying for someone without their permission is just plain rude.
EDITED TO ADD: It just occurred to me that you're probably using HIS computer and internet connection to badmouth him. That adds a whole new level of arrogance and insensitivity to what you're doing.
... gee, was I too hard on the little princess?
And lookie here! A shining example of Christian love and benevolence!
Here's why atheists and non-Christians deserve Hell... Do you agree?
Have you ever done anything bad that you KNEW was wrong? Have you ever told a white lie?
We are all sinners. We ALL deserve Hell. God loves us though and he provided a plan to avoid burning. If we accept Jesus, then we will avoid Hell.
God is all powerful and he could take atheists and non-Christians out of Hell if he wanted to, but he hates sin, so he has decided in his infinite wisdom to not let that happen and it is NEVER our place to ever question the Bible.
If you REFUSE to accept the truth of Jesus, you deserve to burn forever. God does not send you to Hell, you send yourself.
Do you agree?

The evidence for Christianity being the one true religion is overwhelming. There is archeological evidence and all the predictions that have come true. There is NO excuse not to convert.
And my response:
If being a Christian was so important, the Christian God would have gotten the memo out to ALL people in ALL cultures, simultaneously.
As it stands, history shows us that Christianity, like any other religion, spread along human lines of transmission.
Which suggests that at the very least, the Christian God sucks at sending out messages.
And that being the case... if not being Christian was good enough for my ancestors, it also suits me just fine. I can't honor a God who demands total obedience and worship, with Hell as the penalty for failing, without giving everyone exactly the same chance.
What a sicko -- in my opinion, of course.

I could totally get swept up in the bullshit drama of Yahoo! Answers if I didn't, you know, not want to be pissed off all the time anymore. What a buncha maroons.

Sometimes, these people anger me. It's as if they're talking smack about my best friend. By that, I mean God, of course (or whatever one wishes to call the Creator of the Universe). They're taking all their own petty, little dislikes and grudges and everything negative they've ever felt about another person and trying to claim that God can be dragged down to their level.
Never mind. It's too early for a rant. Good for you for being so patient with these folks.
