But who prays for Satan? Who in eighteen centuries, has had the common humanity to pray for the one sinner that needed it most, our one fellow and brother who most needed a friend yet had not a single one, the one sinner among us all who had the highest and clearest right to every Christian's daily and nightly prayers, for the plain and unassailable reason that his was the first and greatest need, he being among sinners the supremest?

I believe in the Devil as much as I believe in the Tooth Fairy, Santa Clause, God etc

They all share a similar amount of proof of their existence.

The devil is real and his name is Tequila.

MRnotlob606

Yes I do.

Nope, But I believe in Keyser Soze...

I think I am wasting my life

The King of Moo

I believe the Devil is a gas.

If there's no devil, then who invented deviled eggs? Huh? Huh? Checkmate, atheists!

Day Lewin

Maybe not Old Nick himself, with horns and a tail, etc: (although I confess to a certain affection for old Uncle Screwtape.)

But yes, I definitely do believe in evil: (just open the newspapers!)
And I wouldn't underestimate the seductive power of it, either.

A man of wealth and taste, by all accounts.

He's the current leader of ISIS

I don't believe in the Devil.

I do believe in the hell created by our lord and saviour, the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Filled with stripper factories and beer volcanoes, it sounds nice, but the strippers have diseases and the beer is stale.

Remember, he boiled for your sins, Ramen.

Why is it always referred to as "the" devil as opposed to god or "a" god?

Is the devil the same across all religions.

I think he is just misunderstood.

I believe it's formally God/Satan and The Devil/The Deity. In Christianity, anyway.

Yes, he makes all of the best music.

The devil, hmmm, wasn't she re-elected in Dublin West there a couple of months ago?

When I was in primary school one of the teachers told the class that the devil is everywhere something bad happens. He said if you fall in the yard at breaktime and cut your knee that's the devil's work. He must have leaved a very bleak, depressing life!!!

I believe in the devil within people...that's the devil you see and hear about everyday.

It killed my friend's father, well figuratively the old man who told him his father was dead was a bit of a knob. He let him fight his own da n all.

Don't believe the devil
I don't believe his book
But the truth is not the same
Without the lies he made up
Don't believe in excess
Success is to give
Don't believe in riches
But you should see where I live
I believe in love

Well thank you, both of you. I've had that damned song in my head all morning now!

Although at least it got me off Sk8r Boi.

No I don't believe in the devil. But the song is catchy.
I don't believe in God either because John Lennon had it right. " God is a concept by which we measure our pain"
I think the creation of the myth of the devil was initially designed to instill belief in the myth of God, and create a fear of the consequences of not believing in the God/believing in other variants of God.

Nowadays the "Devil" is used as excuse for "Gods" laziness or inaction. Or if one group do not like another. The myth of God is only viewed by people where there is a happy coincidence, joy, relief or a bit of luck. The myth of the Devil is needed to explain misfortune, unhappiness or cruel happenstance.

I believe the leader of the current transport strikes is the devil.

He said, "I can't believe I'm asking, but Sir Galahad please tell me -
What is it that makes you want to go to Heaven?"

In Heaven there's no lamb chops,
Queen Guineveres for hand jobs,
Marijuana, Kenny Rogers or ecstasy.

No pillaging, no rape
perhaps you've come by some mistake
to me? This seems more error than knight errantry.

I think "the god" and "the devil" is in every single one of us and us only. It is our free will choice if we will live one way or the other, or any mixture of it in-between, ultimately a path of trial and error, and boi, we have so much more to learn to live well. Some are closer to it, some so much further down...
