I disagree. I said I came from a similar understanding as his, but not the same.

He claimed his way of looking at evil was "as an abstract concept or exaggerated word", whereas while I wasn't looking at it in a Christian-esque manner I still believed that there was a sort of "good versus evil" energy out there and that what some people did was evil even if I didn't believe in Satan or the Devil in a literal sense.

Furthermore he did not begin from where I am now because he never mentioned anything about what I said in my OP about trying to not find enemies in the world in relation to the Hebrew translation of the word Satan, so I'm not sure why you say that... I kind of doubt he even knows the hebrew translation of the word.

Either way, the order of which one came to their realization is no indication of the veracity of such realization and I could use your same reasoning and say what you said in reverse order.

I admit I don't know what the truth is, it's simply my belief and my belief could change again in the future if I saw compelling enough evidence.

In regard to him realizing a deep truth, I suggest reading godel's incompleteness theorems as it's a mighty task to 100% prove much of anything let alone something spiritual and which will likely always be beyond the realm of scientific quantification. We both believe things, I doubt anyone will ever be able to 100% prove such things.
