I do not believe in evil. I do not believe in Satan. I reject Satan. I reject a model of self and world divided by a spiritual conflict between good and evil. I reject conservative ideological traditions that lead communities of faithful believers to build a model of self and world divided by a spiritual conflict between a good one in heaven at war with an evil one cast down to and ruling over Earth. These conservative ideological traditions are leading communities of faithful believers to run a race to Armageddon by motivating members to out work, out fight and out number competition in the Global Culture.

I believe the Devil was made up, and though I can't remember off the top of my head where I found it on the many different occasions, there are various accounts of historical evidence that he was made up.
I do not believe there are any incarnations of Good or Evil; I believe that Good and Evil are concepts separate from deities. For example, a gun is a tool that can be used to protect or harm, used for "good" or "evil." A human being and/or deity has the same potential as a gun - they can be used, or make choices, that are "good" or "evil."

I believe in God so have to believe in satan also. As a matter of fact I have been attacked several times by evil so I know first hand the dog exists. Do I fear him, not anymore, he is defeated and though he sometimes try to attack me, especially when falling asleep. I call out to Jesus first and then rebuke him because he is a looser and with Jesus I am more than overcomer.

I don't believe that Satan exists. Satan was made up by the clergy in the days of ancient Israel to give God's worshipers a reason to fear not worshiping God.

I believe in Satan, the Bible clearly speaks of Him as the author of sin and the tempter who tries to decieve us and lead us to sin. It also states that he is not a ugly red being but a angel of light. No wear does it say we should fear in Satan but we have Jesus who is greater than he and will protect us from him and his evil angels.

I don't' believe that satan is red or with horn as such. I'm not afraid of the devil. Jesus gave us power over all evil.
I do believe he will come looking like Jesus, pretending to be Jesus, before The true Jesus.

no, I beleive hell and the devil was deveoped from the passing on of information too old for anyone to know of its validity.
Gehenna was an area outside of Jeruselum where they took all rubbish and dead people and then burned it to control disease and also the smell. Trnaslate this word and it becomes HELL.

I'm a member of the wise, rational group that knows there is no such thing, that it was made up by religion to scare people into joining them.

No. Satan is a myth used to frighten people into behaving.

No.
People make their own choices, not the devil or Jesus, or anyone else.
People have to be accountable for their own lives.
