Rationalistic nonsense.

1) Jesus loved Peter.

2) When Peter misspoke himself, supplanting Jesus' message with his own
message, Jesus rebuked him, calling Peter "Satan."

So, if your ****-poor attempt at denunciation were anywhere near true (which
it is not), then Jesus calling Peter Satan would have been a violation of
His own commandments, and created a ethical paradox in Jesus' own teachings.

Save it for yourself, you who changes and diminishes the message of Jesus
Christ.
