Can invisible sword kill a devil?

So sorry that you don't comprehend Einsteins 'curving space-time nonsense'.
There is nothing to comprehend in Einsteins speculative "gravitational curving spacetime" ideas!

The only relevant issue to comprehend is that all atoms have embedded rotational and orbital properties, i.e. "curving motions" and this is all governed by electromagnetic forces and qualities and not by "gravity". This embedded "curving motion" works in all size wice scales in micro- and macro cosmos.

If astrophysicist and cosmologists back in 1932 and later on had/have revised the Newtonian contradicted law of celestial motions in galaxies accordingly to the atomic/EM motions, they wouldn´t need any "dark matter" at all.

The EM qualities have both attractive and repulsive properties and when working on the plasma scales of "gas and dust", these atomic/EM-curving qualities rules all formation and motions everywhere.

This is not a property of neither space nor time, but an universal (and eternal) property in the Universe.

Edit:
I don´t know what got cosmologically wrong in Einsteins mind, but he really did work with the EM properties in this article back in june 1905.

I guess Einstein felt forced to propose another explanation of gravitational celestial motions when the former one was contradicted in 1932 and then he left his genuine EM investigations in favour of his speculative "curved space time nonsens".

The Lost One
Psycho-logy: psycho = soul, logy = science. How come, that an atheist believes in a soul?
Actually the word “psyche” comes from the Latin name for the Roman heroine-turned-goddess, Psyche, who married Cupid, the Roman god of love, found in The Golden ***, written by Lucius Apuleius, a 2nd century CE.

But the word “psyche” has its root in ancient Homeric epic poetry,
psūkhḗ ψῡχή, and it does mean “spirit”, “soul”.

My understanding that the soul used in Genesis 2, is nephesh (נֶפֶשׁ) in Hebrew, not the Greek psūkhḗ or the Roman psyche.

The question is:

How come a Christian, like yourself, believe in a pagan Roman goddess or using Greek word that have pagan meaning?​

But whether you use the Hebrew nephesh or Greek psūkhḗ, they don’t just mean soul or spirit, necessarily; there are multiple meaning including “living being” or “living creature”.

So, “being” or “creature”, can very well mean any animals, not just humans.

Not at all. You´re cherry picking your "arguments".

Quote from - Psyche (mythology) - Wikipedia
"Psyche or Psykhe (/ˈsʌɪki/;[2] Greek: Ψυχή, Psychí) is the Greek goddess of the soul. She was born a mortal woman, with beauty that rivaled Aphrodite.

But how would you know if you dont take the mythology seriously?

Besides this, the Greek goddess Aphrodite is equal to the Roman goddess Venus and the Egyptian goddess Hathor who, which you should know be now, resembles the Milky Way

It is not about you. I am talking in general.
If Bob does not love John, then Bob hates John. Because satan and God are not indifferent.
False dichotomy.

Bob does not have to love or hate John. If Bob does not know and never heard of John, then how can he love or hate John?

The real atheist will not believe in a soul. Have you ever seen word soul in a Physics journal?
The real atheist does not believe in the existence of a god. A real atheist can believe in a soul because it is not a god.

Have you ever seen a paper in a physics journal written by a theist?

Why do some people think that every word has the same meaning as its root/origin.

The modern definition of the word, "stupid," does not mean, ‘be amazed or stunned’ from the original Latin word, "stupere." The meaning of that word(one of its definition) is, "lacking intelligence or reason." And that definition accurately describes what was said in your post above.

The satan is fallen angel.
Since satan is a fallen angel, that would make him part of the judeo-christian mytho, a religion that was supposedly inspired by a god. So an atheist must believe in the existence of a god in order to believe in satan. So since atheists doesn't believe in the existence of a god, they don't believe in satan regarding how he is portrayed in the religious stories. But it's possible for some of them to believe in the existence of satan if he/it is not the same one as the one of biblical narrative. The same thing goes for some theists.

Now replace satan with soul, ghosts, spirits and/or any other supernatural things. A person who believes the existence of all of that but not the existence of a god, is still an atheist. So what I'm saying is that, the belief/lack of belief in the existence of a god is the only thing that determines whethet one is an atheist or a theist, no more no less.

Now here's a proposition for you. Do you believe that no god(s) exist? There's only two options. Either you believe that no god(s) exist or you don't believe that no god(s) exist. The proposition has nothing to do with the belief in the existence of a god. That's a separate proposition.
