When are we going to realize that all that glitters is not gold, and that the devil is not always going to appear to us as a big red guy with horns and a black cape .He can take the most subtle of forms, even as an angel of light.For example, where the hell do some people get off saying that there is a difference between devil worship and satan worship.People, satan and the devil are one and the same!!You see? He has blinded the eyes of us all. Instead of bashing christians for merely speaking their minds(atheists,devil worshippers)or insulting atheists for what is obviously the devil's work taking a toll on them(christians), Why cant we simply talk to atheists as if they themselves are one of us?Dont you realize that the more you argue with them or insult them, the farther they stray from THE LORD? We aught to help them! Would you shun someone who had a terminal disease ?And for the atheists, look at yourself , the trees, the sky. Can u honestly see the beauty of earth and deny HIM?

Humans need no help behaving in an "idiotic" way, especially the ones who think they see evil bogeymen behind everything.
Jewish belief is that Satan was an angel who was chosen to perform a certain function for God. The role God gave him was to present challenges to mankind, which God saw as a positive thing, because challenges can make you a smarter and better person.
In Judaism there is no such thing as a "devil", and Satan is an angel who does exactly what he was assigned by God to do.

Hmmm well... Im kinda going devil's advocate here... but kinda not. Well anyway...
I guess the bottom line to this, with the atheists and such is simple. They don't believe nature and such was created by God. They might see it as a magnificent, beautiful, incredible act of nature and the natural world, not divinely orchestrated.
As for well the whole... accepting God... umm well... *blinks* I guess you have to accept that there are people that do not want to be Christian or whatever. Some see it as hokey and old... some people see what has been done in the name of religion and want no part of it... some dont agree with what the Church teaches.
Faith is faith. If you have it, no explanation is necessary. If you don't have it, then you don't.

Because.. Devil is GOD creation. Hell is GOD creation and its perfect as heaven.
Remember there was nothing except GOD. He invent concept of bad or good. He Create hell or Heaven.
+++ and ---- they are all part of the same big grand master plan. one does not exist without other. And according to Crist teaching.. if there was no bad then everything would be good. THen there would be no free will. Then every1 would be in same place. What would be the way of salvation.
Amasing that we constantly arguing on bad things but we realise we need them just to see that tehre are opposive things do exists.
Peace
Therefore GOD exists.

Ummm the "devil" is not making anything out of anyone. If God is all there is - I am what am - then the "devil" must be God as well. We make idiots out of ourselves, we create the "evil", we make the hell...ourselves with no help from an all powerful "devil". Change your thinking - Change your life - Change the world...it's up to you. Not God, not the "devil"...you. You are responsible for you. Oh and by the way..I DO believe in God.

You ask, why do we constantly allow the devil to make idiots of us all, and my reply is: because we ARE idiots. And I don't mean that as a joke, I mean in the realist sense there is. Reason being that we're like sheep, gone astray, we're dumb - just naturally we are - however, this is where God's grace and mercy takes its place in our lives - that's why Christ is so key, because essentially his death makes up for all our iniquities (acts of idiocy).
Hope this helps.

Do you realize that one must first believe in the devil for them to allow their short comings to be blamed on him?
Why not ask: Why is it that in this day and age human beings cannot just accept that people are different, and unique, that for us to survive as a race we must grow up, and take responsibility for our actions and not let it be " not my fault because....."

We do it because we are weak idiots at times.
We go for the "easy route" instead of learning from our Grandparents that hard work is the only way to go!
Its always easy to put the "other people" down, because they arent "good enough" to be in the same pew with you... But then, that only makes idiots of ourselves because JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR US ALL!!! Not just you and me, but for everyone!
I wish you well..
