    Before you think I've lost the plot, I don't.

    However, ever heard of the saying that the Devil's greatest achievement is convincing everyone he doesn't exist.

    Just though it might get a few replies when you consider how much coverage the other lad gets.

    He's really very good at it as well.

    Not doing anything or appearing anywhere. Yep, he's really mastered the art of convincing people he doesn't exist.

    i believe in him - although i dont think he's a man with devil horns. The devil creates all evil in the world

    3 years, 4 months later we have this question again :)

    Maybe it's true that there's nothing new under the sun after all.

    Here was my previous response:
    Yes, I believe in Satan's existence. The father of all lies, deception, temptation and hatred in this world.

    I understand that people will no doubt disagree with me on this one as per usual.

    Jayzus you're fast replying with your spiritual radar detecting threads like this, you sure you're not some sort of divine power or something? ;)

    No I don't. It seems to be a handy excuse to stop people taking full responsibility for their actions "the devil got into me" and that kind of thing. If you do a bad thing own it, don't blame it on some mythical creature getting into your body and making you do things.

    God is good ...and the 'Divil' is not too bad when you get to know him! ;)

    I don't believe in religion.

    I also think Richard Dawkins is an idiot.

    There I said it.

    The devil made me do it-but I would have done it anyway.

    Satan - creator of all that is evil in the world? Rubbish.

    People are responsible for their actions (discounting mentally ill people to a degree).

    By acknowledging such a fantasy and giving it the credit it gets from certain quarters, then in my opinion you're relinquishing people of their responsibility, at least it can technically be played out that way.

    people are not born '*****'. where does evil come from? everything comes from someplace

    Take it to any number of the spiritual forums to discuss the existence of satan.
