Believe in any or all. Buddah was a real figure, so was Christ. Satan is described in the Bible, and christians believe in him.
What you need to decide is not just who to believe in, but who to follow. That's often the subject of an intense search. Just picking one and going with it isn't likely to serve you. Read the Bible, Read other holy works. Find out which one touches you deeply. Then, follow your heart. Christianity, Paganism, Budhism, whatever. It's what's in your heart that matters. (Christians are likely to give me a low score for this answer, but I'm a Pagan, so my advice is sound from my viewpoint).
Don't follow a leader just because you're mad at his enemy. Don't get into a religion, (christian, pagan or otherwise) just becasue you like somebody there. Do so because it resonates with you, because you know in your heart that it IS true.
Blessings,

In ancient Jewish tradition Satan is simply an angel doing the work that God assigned to Satan to do.
The word Satan means challenger. With the idea of Satan challenging us, or tempting if you will. This description sees Satan as the angel who is the embodiment of man's challenges. This idea of Satan works closely with God as an integral part of Gods plan for us. His job is to make choosing good over evil enough of a challenge so that it becomes clear to us that there can be only one meaningful or logical choice.
Contrast this to Christianity, which sees Satan as God's opponent. In Jewish thought, the idea that there exists anything capable of setting itself up as God's opponent would be considered polytheistic or setting up the devil to be an equally powerful polarity to god or a demigod.
Oddly, proof for The Christian satan/devil mythology is supposedly found in the ancient Jewish texts that were borrowed to create the bible. One can’t help but wonder how Christians came up with such a fantastically different interpretation of Gods assistant Satan in their theology.
Other hints about Satan’s role in human relations can be seen if you look at the name Lucifer. It’s meaning in the original tongue translates as Light bearer or light bringer. Essentially the bringer of enlightenment. The temptations of the Satan idea bring all of us eventually into Gods light. Hardly the Evil entity of Christian mythology.
Love and blessings

Buddah was a man. Satan is the devil. And God is my Lord. Do as you will; but it is only God that create something from nothing and who can save your soul. Peace.

wow you seem pretty confused...well first of all you are an individual soul...you are not flesh but spirit you need to be self-realized...you need to be an awakened soul...and then you can live a perfect life....
you can believe in all three....but you should worship God....God gave you this life...he put you on earth to do good...to know him....you must try to stay away from evil.....from satan's work.....and find a prophet like Buddha who can show you God....we need a perfect master a living master who can show us God then only can we start worshiping him...so actually you can believe in all three but in differ ways...
but what you need to do is know not believe you must know God and become enlightened with the truth...and then you will know who you are and where you come from etc...
good luck

Buddha became surely a genuine guy or woman.... yet at that age this is high-quality to be puzzled. human beings disagree because of the fact they want their god to be the final (jokes on them, Allah, the Christian god, and the Jewish god are each and all of the comparable entity). some human beings % to have confidence in an afterlife because of the fact they're scared and want to have confidence that they did no longer waste all of their existence and that there is a few thing after demise. i in my view have confidence that god placed the activities that created the universe in action. I have no clue why he's pictured as such.

satan only wants to lie to you and deceive you & hurt you.satan believes in God.But, he did not die for you.
Buddah offers comfort & recognized the teachings of Jesus.But did not die for you nor did he rise from the dead.
God loves you so much He did send His son Jesus, to die for your sins, He arose from the dead, ascended into heaven & will return to receive those who trust in Him to be their savior. You are a special person in the eyes of God, you are loved by the Creator of the universe,and that is an awesome thing! Get His Word, the Bible and pray for guidance. God Bless you!

You just answered your own question. Get to know yourself first. Belief is cheap. You can choose to believe anything. Belief doesn't require any work...any questions...any research. It only requires acceptance. Once you choose to believe in something, however, your fellow believers may shun you if you start to question the thing you believe in.
Meditate. Go within. Discover who YOU are. Live your life. Trust in your experience. Give yourself to your existence and living your life to the fullest.
I wish you Peace.

Which god? YHWH/Allah, Odin, Thor, Kali, Shiva, Ganesh, Saraswati, Amaterasu, Hecate, Ashera, Inanna, Isis, Astarte, Ishtar...
You should read about all religions, including their sacred texts and their history, before deciding what religion makes the most sense to you, or if none of them do. Good luck.

If your looking for someone to believe in, why not start off on the right foot? God is reaching his hand out to you, you just have to accept it. Jesus choose to die on the cross for the sins of every human, but you are not automatically saved. You have to choose that path. That's only one reason why God is so amazing. He lets us choose our own path, but expects & wants us to pick the one that leads to Him. There is only two paths to choose from by the way, the one of righteousness & eternal life, or that of eternal sufering. I seriously challenge you to read not only the Bible, but the book Jesus Freaks, by dc Talk. It's about thousands of martyrs that died with a smile on their face because they where dying for God! They chose the right path! The book is just really inspiring, & answers alot of questions you might have.

there a saying....if you believe in nothing you will fall for anything...that being said it sounds like you need to do a little research into religion...read up on each one that you like then, talk to some ppl who you respect and know to be religious about their thoughts and feelings, then meditate, pray or just take some time to decide the answer will come to you.
