Worshiping both would be best.

Yes it's wrong. Just because something exists doesn't mean you should worship it. You would have to worship every person on earth if you think like that. God is the only one who deserves worship. He's the only one who is Holy.
Matthew 6:24 "No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other."
Now that verse is talking about money vs. God but the same principle applies here. God and the Devil are polar opposites. God is pure and the Devil is evil. It is not possible to worship both.

Of course the devil exists and you're free to worship the Devil just as you can worship God.

Worship what you want, if you read the old testament you can plainly see that the christian god is evil beyond belief! Mass genocide just for starters. So really christians are worshipping the devil, they just choose not to read those arts as they have sensitive stomaches. I was once a church goer until I actually looked at what I was reading and I was horrified. So when anyone replies saying the devil is evil because he condones rape and child abuse, their god isn't any better and the evidence is right infront of them

If God exists, it seems logical that the Devil must also exist because the majority of the theories used to attempt to prove God exists could also be used to prove the Devil exists. Then again, those theories could prove that a giant pink transexual kangaroo from Mars must exist. One example of this is the following theory: (I don't remember who put it forward but in my opinion it is rubbish) There are possibly an infinite number of worlds (or universes). As there is an infinite number of them, all possible things must happen in at least one of them. It is possible that God exists. God is, by definition, the greatest imaginable being. To be the greatest imaginable being, God cannot only exist in one world, He must exist in all of them which means God exists in this world.
It is one of the least persuasive theories I have come across, and like I said, it is possible to prove the existence of the giant pink transexual kangaroo from Mars as well as the Devil.
As for worshipping the Devil being ok because worshipping God is, I don't think that it is because people worship God because they believe He created the universe and is all-loving and all-knowing but what has the Devil ever done for us? What is there to worship in the Devil?

Why would you want to worship the devil?
If it wasn't for the devil seducing Eve to disobey God's command to not eat the fruit - then we wouldn't be in the mess that we are in today.
Read Genesis 3 where Satan lied to Eve
Revelation 12:9 identifies who used the serpent to seduce Eve
Mankind was created to live forever in paradise on earth. It was this act of disobedience (with Satan behind it) that caused sin & death/sickness etc to come upon mankind.
ROMANS 5:12
Next time you have an illness or someone you love dies or suffers or you see suffering on the TV or even when you see your next grey hair - remember that Satan is the cause of all that & more.
Now tell me you want to worship him!!

"if we worship god why cant we worship the devil after all the devil was thrown out of heaven,so if god exists so does the devil?"
I am sorry to patronise, but this is what your grammar should have looked like :-
"If we worship God, why can't we worship the devil. After all the devil was thrown out of heaven, so if God exists so, does the devil ?"
INCIDENTLY, I don't really understand your question !
...and I apologise.

You can worship whoeever or whatever you like.
Remember though that your worship is a way of saying "I agree 100% with this diety and the way lif eshould be lived by the rules of it!"
Worship th edevil if you want, you just have to go along with what the devil declares to be the right way?
Not sure if the devil is the best option though!!

Obviously you never learnt enough about any religion to put your daughter right. The devil and god are representatives of goodness on the one hand and on the other the Devil is utterly evil. Best think about what you believe yourself.
You are building your house on sand.

You have the freedom to choose for yourself who you worship.
However if you study the Scriptures in Exodus 19:3-17 are listed the Ten Commandments the first of which is:
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
and in Matthew 6:24
No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other........
We are taught in Joshua 24:15 - As For Me And My House We Will Serve the Lord
I would far rather put my Faith and trust in the Lord, love and serve him than I ever would in Satan who is the father of all lies and evil.
Do hope this help and God Bless you.

Yes the devil does exist, and so do lots of other things. We are all worshiping something. But if you worship God, you cannot worship the devil or anyone else. That's why the first commandment says, "You shall have no other God's before me." God wants us to worship Him and Him alone.
