In school I was told by a teacher that as there are two sides of a coin similarly as God exists so the Devil. Most of us agree that God exist and Devil don't. And why we r so scared in dark?

WHY R WE SO SCARED OF DARK?

They exist in the minds of the believers!
Our progress and life depends on our senses! When some sense is not capable to describe the surroundings we are "scared" due to the unknown!

Well, there are things that go bump in the dark and that's why you are scared of the dark. And do God and Devil exits? Well, they exited from this world a long time ago and come back as they need, I guess. If you mean, exist, then yes, they both exist.

Being scared of the dark has nothing really to do with whether God or
Satan exists. Both do, but unless you are having dream, or nightmares about either one, then one probably has nothing to do with the other.
When people ask such questions, I wonder if they are being serious, or just trying to get attention, or just being mean. God does exist, and will listen to you when you pray to him. He has all the answers you will need, just not the way you would always expect him to answer.
Prayer is where it starts. Then read your bible. You can get a lot of garbage on here, so I will just pray that the Lord will give you discernment. You can always get a hold of me if you want to take this further. I can point you in the right direction, anyways.
Just pray first. Take care.

The devil does exist just like God exists.

I beleive that the devil exists b/c all this bad **** has been happening. I do not beleive that god exists b/c how do we know. There has been no miracles. How do u know If a person that was bored wrote the bible. How are you sure any of the Miracles happened in the bible are true? The "witnesses" are dead and there are no pictures or films. It could all be a lie.

As the story goes, the Devil, also known as Lucifer or Satan, actually used to be an angel! In fact, he was the archangel, or the leader of the angels. But, he got a little proud of himself and thought that he could claim himself above God. At that point, he was banished to Hell, along with any angels who he had convinced to follow him.
So, the Devil definitely exists, people are just affraid to acknowledge evil.

I don't think they exist, but then again, I'm atheist. We are scared of the dark because of the fact that we are active in the day time, so we aren't comforbtable in the night because we can't see anything, so we don't know what might be there.

Psalms 14: 1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. Psalms 19: 1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Ezekiel 28: 14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Ezekiel 28: 15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.

I believe that G-d does exist, but not the devil.

They both exist. Just like peoples beliefs about your existance does not change the fact that you exist, peoples belief about God and Satans existance does not change the fact that they exist. This is fact and is not subjective.
