where to start? I come to you because im desperate, im seeking spiritual advice or healing. I'm not equipped to deal with this evil, i feel thats present with us. I grew up in the church and my faith is strong. my son opened his mind to satanic beliefs awhile ago, and since then he has been plagued with difficulties. he has tried to attempt suicide on several different occasions, he does not believe in god, when i tried to quote the bible to him he did the satanic bible. He wears black clothes, makes homemade tatoos of satanic symbles, he listens to this music that is so full of hate and violence. I'm becoming more afraid of him by the day, he doesnt speaks to me unless he wants something, experimented with drugs of all types. Its like a different person living here and i dont recognized him im afraid for myself and my younger son.And throughout all of this I still love him, i know God can fixed this. Please what do you have me do ?

I don't know what made your son become a satanist. Maybe it's a sort of protest, but if he tried to commit suicide and makes you fear for your and your other son's safety, you have to collect all your will, wisdom, and strength, and start acting according to the situation. You probably can't do it on your own, so you need help as well as your son does. Don't be afraid to ask for assistance of professionals as you weren't afraid to ask for advice. There are people who are used to dealing with this sort of problems, and you need to get your son a real physical and active help. The fact that he is into satanism probably doesn't mean anything, because it has nothing to do with religion. What he does to himself is not about worshiping some evil entity; it's about pain and self-destruction.
You probably will never save him by reading him the quotes from Bible, especially if he doesn't (or claims that he doesn't) believe in Christian God. And the thing is, he doesn't have to believe. Whether you believe in something or not, it doesn't change the fact of its existence or non-existence. Maybe you should try to help your son to quit drugs, give him all the love that he is ready to accept, but do it as unconditionally as you can. Don't try to force him to accept any religion. Let him know that there are hundreds to choose from, and that you will accept him no matter which one he chooses, because even now, when he acts this way and you barely recognize him, you still can't stop loving him. Right now your son may be all entangled in anger and hate, and the music he listens to simply reflects his emotional state. You also must understand that there is nothing sweet about feeling all this, because a person in this condition cannot be happy. Maybe that's the problem. But it doesn't have to be this way forever. If you can change his dominant thought, his dominant vibration, slowly, he may become more open to the bigger changes in his life.
I wish I could give you a better advice, something that would instantly make it better, but I can't. It's all up to you. I personally don't believe in devil, nor do I prefer any religion above all others. For me everything that is... well, *is* a part of God, because thinking that there is anything outside seems to be silly to me. But it does not matter if you share my point of view or not, because it's just me and I'm okay with it. Faith is a privae thing, and if your son tries to prove to the whole world that he is a satanist, he probably finds it hard to prove it to himself. He hardly understands what he's really doing, and what would be the consequences. He does that not because he is bad, or under the influence of evil. He simply cannot see the big picture. Maybe you can't see it either, and the two of you are staring at the different bits of the same puzzle. You are Christian and your son considers himself a satanist. Communicating may be hard, but to help him you will have to find a way to reach out and connect. As I already said, I cannot give you a professional help on this topic, but I am sure that there are people who are capable of giving it to you, and you should not hesitate to go and ask for it. Believe that there is a way to make it better, even if you didn't find it yet.
