C. S. Lewis says much the same in The Screwtape Letters.

Basically, Satan does not care if we die happy and comfortable, as long as we die lost.

He’d much rather inflict misery and suffering and pain, but if avoiding those can lull someone into complacency so that they don’t see the need for Christ, he’ll use happiness and comfort to do it.

Ah yes..the Screwtape letters. Remarkable read in itself. Been years since I read but remember the huge eyeopener Lewis brings to how the enemy of God works. Great read.

(satan).... would much rather inflict misery and suffering and pain, but if avoiding those can lull someone into complacency so that they don’t see the need for Christ, he’ll use happiness and comfort to do it.

I do think people are ignorant for the most part of what satan thinks of them......Pawns in his hands to discredit and bring down the things of God....he cares nothing for man apart from how He can affect God... who is his real target. ...and take as many people to the pits of hell with him that he can.
