to put the fear of god in them

The Devil is a convenient invention of semitic religions to put the blame onto. If people do anything wrong they can blame the devil.
The muslims go around blaming the devil and calling anyone who doesn't share their viewpoint a devil - therefore the devil is just a human invention. The muslims also go around chucking stones at stone-pillar in the middle of the desert thinking it represents the devil. Well if the devil has been turned into a stone pillar then it is no longer a devil - what power can a stone pillar have?
If you believe there is an all powerful God then it is only logical there can't be another equally powerful entity otherwise God has not power really. If you only have a wishy washy belief in God then you go around making some invention as an excuse for not oobeying Gods commands - like the Jews, Christians and Muslims.
If the story of the biblical creation is to be believed then we can see that the devil is merely an invention since Eve must have wanted to eat the forbidden fruit but then conveniently blamed the serpent - this has been the general trend in Judaism, Christianity and Islam all through the ages.

No the devil is man made!
God is all of creation, everything we see, hear, do, think or say - all that is good. God created this physicality for the purpose of discovering the oposite of God, then gave us free will and we all reinform God by the actions we take.
The world was like heaven until the first soul wanted personal power for him/herself and this has evolved through the ages to the hell on earth that we now live in.

The devil was originally the pagan god of fertility the Christians turned him into the devil to scare their followers into doing as they asked. Most of Christianity was once pagan including Christmas.

That's a good one. Yes I think so, and his greatest stunt was Christianity. Consider how smart he was to get the whole world to worship god dying on a cross. It's absolutely brilliant.
