Why does Satan and evil spirits hate mankind If they do?

Because mankind has the ability to be with and love God, who is love Himself.

They are miserable and want more misery.
 
Jealousy & vanity.
Jealousy is what caused their fall from grace.
Vanity
Vanity is what caused them to not be able to admit they chose wrongly.
We have opportunities to repent.
We have been forgiven by the Blood of Christ. We have the chance, until our death, of seeking forgiveness. They blew it. All they can do now is separate us from God by evil choices. That’s all they’ve got. Nothing else.
No one should make the mistake of believing they don’t hate us.
They are incapable of love.
 
Their vanity prevents them.
Satan (Lucifer) was pretty full of himself. This is when he got many to revel with him.
They were sent out of paradise
Ever know someone that is never wrong?
Yeah, it’s like that.
 
Where you guys get this info at? Like outside the Bible I mean is it early Church fathers? Or Saints? Like to answer that it’s vanity? 🙂

I’ve said before. Scott Hahn is a good place to start, his books are clear and easily digestible. Once you cover that, there are great books on saints, and I thin that Ignation spirituality would very much appeal to you. Googling things with “CCC+devil” or “Vatican+devil” or well, CCC+ whatever or Vatican+ whatever is likely to get you answers, too.
 
I have a theology degree.
Plus, read this:


Satan said about Jesus “I will not serve. We are like gods.”

This for sure is vanity. He believed that angels were superior to man, and since Jesus was to be fully Man yet fully Divine, he saw it as a step down for him. A job he didn’t want to do, in being obedient to Him.
That’s vanity. When you think you’re too good to do something?
That’s vanity.

Are angels a bit superior to humanity? Like from the psalm -" what is man that you are mindful of him." something like maybe "you made him a little lower than the angels. "
 
That’s an interesting question, and way more involved than you might think.

Angels have many superior “powers” that humans–even humans we know are in Heaven–do not. They have many powerful roles in this world and in Heaven. They are valuable warriors of God.

However, I know more than one Saint has described how even Angels admire our ability to receive Jesus in Communion. Jesus was a human. In that way, we are clearly “superior”

But then, the term superior carries negative connotations. Saints and Angels understand pure humility and love, so it’s doubtful that they’d even try to see who was superior.

I think the Saints in heaven are above the angels, because angels have never experience suffering.
 
Depends on your definition of superior.
Angels are pure spirit. They don’t need Sacraments they don’t take communion, so in that respect, we have been given the greatest gift of all.
Angels, however, have always resided in the presence of the Most High, so, a pretty sweet gig if you ask me. 😎

They are pissed off and rebellious and don’t want to be obedient. Too bad them. They don’t want forgiveness. Being angels, they were able to decide, permanently, in an instant.
Stop dialogue and thoughts about them. Concentrate on God.

And pray to St Michael and Our Lady

We , as human creatures, not as smart as angels, or as gifted, are blessed with being able to ask our creator for forgiveness over and over again. Angels are not as weak as us in this respect.

Angels were provided grace, and were tested, and did not receive the Beatific Vision until after their free will choice.

God taught me through Mother Angelica that the sole mission of the demonic is to attack all aspects of souls receiving grace and thereby the given benefits of the Holy Trinity.
 
I think it’s because they hate God. God made man in His image. Satan hates God’s image too.
 
I wouldn’t know if they Hate humans , I’m not even sure if they even care about humans ,
They probably find us to be rather Dumb , perhaps even entertaining to watch how gullible we are ,
How weak we are , bit like putting a stick before our feet just to watch how easy we trip over ,
We fall into sin so easily, Some humans are strong but most of us are rather weak,
Fortunately we have God on our side to help us get through this life without to many scratches
