Are you saying that you have to trust something before you can make a judgment about it?
No. I never said anything even remotely close to that.
Can you make a judgment about Satan without trusting in him?
Satan by definition, is not the origin of everything that exists. You're committing a categorical fallacy here. You have to trust the origin of everything that exists in order to make a judgement about anything including the origin of everything that exists. In fact you already do. You can't trust your senses and cognitive faculties without first trusting the origin of everything that exists.
This is a pretty strange statement. I very much can, and do, trust my senses and cognitive faculties without first "trusting the origin of everything that exists", whatever that means. My eyes and ears work regardless of my belief in God's existence.
Why would anyone base their whole life around something without judging it first? Faith is one thing, but what you're talking about sounds like blindly jumping off cliffs, hoping there is water below you.
I think I'm more cut out for Judaism. I've heard they're big into arguing and debating the nature of God. That seems lacking in Christianity. The problem is that I'm not a fan of their God, Jesus is more my kind of guy.
How do you know your eyes work? How do you know you weren't created two seconds ago with a bunch of aliens who are feeding your eyes false images in a computer simulation? It's not a strange statement to say that you have to trust the origin of everything that exists before you can trust anything or anyone else or make any judgement. It's a fact...
