Can the devil or his angels read?

 

I have often wondered if the devil or his angels can read…  This post, however, was spawned by a comment that I heard while listening to a podcast from Book of Mormon Central, where Laman & Lemuel were referenced (Lehi’s oldest sons from the Book of Mormon—the first prophet spoken of and Nephi’s father, who wrote the first two books).  It was said, that this podcaster couldn’t be sure, but that it was his belief that Laman and Lemuel were illiterate.  I am not saying that this is true, but, if they are illiterate, wouldn’t it be most likely true of Satan’s minions?  

Why does it seem like nobody has ever warned against writing things in your journal or diary but it has been said again and again that you should not or be wary of saying things aloud that you wouldn’t want the devil to know about?  

Wouldn’t the same reasoning that would support the idea that Laman&Lemuel couldn’t read also go to support the idea that Satan’s minions can’t read?

Those are my thoughts (some of them…),
