Ok, so obviously it must be okay to do this or else, no one would buy anything since everyone is evil to a degree. But say I wanted to buy something from a satanist and this something is okay in itself (maybe food). Should I buy it and help the satanist or should I not buy it and injure him?

If I couldn’t buy whatever it was I needed from some other convenient place I would by it from a Satanist. I might want to be saying some prayers for his soul while I was musing around in the shop and I’d try to witness to him by my behaviour. Who knows I could become the tool for his conversion.

I wouldn’t want to be buying food from a Satanist though, you never know what might be in the ingredients, eye of newt, toe of frog, wool of bat…
 
That is a interesting and in my mind,very important question. I would not buy anything from a Satanist,but there are much more things to fear. I am not defending satanists,they do what they do,and to a point they must understand that it is wrong,but they have made a choice and they must live with it. God has,however,give us a free will,so.
First we must understand what is evil. When that is done,we must understand why we see it as a evil thing. Then try to figure out what can happen to us if we buy,or receive something from a person or persons,we see as evil.
Lets say,for the sake of argument,there are two shops in the town that carry something we need/want. The first shop owner are a evil person,remember now that this is only a example,he like to kill butterfly es. The other shop are owned by a man who hate kids and throw stones on them. Now,be honest to yourself,if you buy something from one or maybe both of thees shops,will you be evil? Nope. Do you feel that you give a bad example by going to thees shops? No,you are not. Are you “supporting” the evil by using thees shops? You are not. Conclusion,we will not be evil our self if we buy something from a evil person because we are not doing a evil deed. So,in my mind it is OK. But,what makes the point is how you feel yourself,if it feels wrong,then don’t buy from shops own by evil persons,it is your choice. I would still not buy anything from a shop owned by a satanist,but not because I am afraid of being one myself thoug,only because I don’t want to,not because I am afraid cause*** all of us who have promised to obey God and his Church have no reason to be afraid of anything bad.***
 
Well, I was specifically thinking of buying something for my health, something that could potentially relieve some serious health issues, but to help evil in so buying seems like too much and sometimes not enough. So for the sake of health or preventing some health issues, should I buy the item? (even though it cooperates with the person)

I sense that I should, but I hesitate since my health problems are not immediate but could be rather bad if I wait until I have them and then buy.
