You can't see what doesn't exist.
Try not to confuse fantasy with reality ok?
Do you ask if anyone's ever seen a fairy or a pixie?
Wait, never mind, you probably do...

No such animal. If you believe in something hard enough you may see it, but it's only in your mind. If you see the devil you may also believe heaven consists of sitting around all day on clouds eating cream cheese served by a man-servant. There may indeed be a heaven and hell but unfortunately there is only way to find out and no one has ever come back to let us know for sure. Maybe the light at the end of the tunnel is only the ghost of someones flashlight.

The Devil was a concept created by the early christian church.
The image of the devil is a composite taken from other religions such as Poseidon's trident( a Greek God),and Pan's horns.

Nope, never saw the guy!
The bible describes him as a fallen cherubim, an angel of light, whom was taken by his own selfish pride...
It has nothing to do with the horned pagan hunting gods.
The roman catholic church, invented the image of the horned
devil, to force-convert the pagans and scare the rest of the converts off into believing this non-scriptural image.
Not to mention that the clergy ordered to burn the rest of them alive...
Jesus never forced anyone to convert.

The devil does not exist any more than god does. Part of a story told to control the masses through fear.

The Devil is the name given to a supernatural entity, who, in most Western religions, is the central embodiment of evil. This entity is commonly referred to by a variety of other names, including Satan, Asmodai, Beelzebub, Lucifer and/or Mephistopheles. In classic demonology, however, each of these alternate names refers to a specific supernatural entity.
Satan frozen at the center of Cocytus, the ninth circle of Hell in Dante's Inferno.Some scholars believe that the notion of a central supernatural embodiment of evil, as well as the notion of angels, first arose in Western monotheism when Judaism came into contact with the Persian religion of Zoroastrianism. Much like classical monotheism, Zoroastrianism has one supreme God, and an evil spirit who chose to be evil, locked in a cosmic struggle where both are more or less evenly matched, though from the beginning Ahura Mazda's triumph is foretold; making Zoroastrianism an ethical dualism. Ahura Mazda ("Wise Lord"), also later known as Ormazd in Middle Persian, is the God of light, or Truth, and Angra Mainyu ("Evil Spirit"), also later known as Ahriman in Middle Persian, is the primeval Spirit of darkness, or the Lie. In a final battle between the forces of good and evil, human souls will be judged in a fiery ordeal of molten metal where the good will pass through as if it were warm milk and those who chose evil will be purified and all will be reunited in the new perfected world. Accordingly, humans are urged to align themselves with Ormazd and his Yazatas ("angels") and to shun His adversary who is the ruler of darkness and his demons, so that they may facilitate the final renovation (Frashō-kereti).
Christianity views Satan as an angel cast from heaven by God, for being prideful, deceitful, and the tempter: all strikingly similar to the story of Ahriman.

yes i have. i actually visited him one time. we met up in pergatury and then headed on down to hell. its quite nice there...they have waterbeds. we occupied ourselves by throwing eggs at the pirates & giving the lawyers wet willes. we then had tea, (hell has some good herbal tea) and then i gave the devil a complete makeover. (he's gay you know? but he;s nothing like the devil in south park) anywho, then i said i had to leave, but i actually flew up to heaven and told all the angels about what was down in hell. then they all agreed that they would make heaven much more appealing. then i partied topless with God. Then i went home. all in all it was a good day.

I see the devil everyday. Just turn on your TV and watch the news you'll catch a glimpse. He's in the middle-east, he's in Africa, he's in South America, he's in your neighborhood. When you treat another with contempt, bias or bigotry he's you.
