The devil does not exist. Man deceives himself due to lack of a proper education, which is truly scientific and religious.

It's amazing to me how people believe "God is love" and yet if you do this (wrong) thing or don't do enough of this(right) thing he will toast you like a marshmellow but without reprieve, without relief and without an end for ever and ever.
Not only that, but God will send the Devil to tempt you and to try everything he can to get you to stumble into that fiery eternal torment. Why? Because "God is love" and "Jesus loves you".
Does this concept bother anyone else?

he deceives the world A-PLENTY!!
Look around-- look at the world today. The devil wants to take as much souls with him to where he is going and I will say that he is very successful!! First of all, many do not believe he even exists--- ain't that uncanny of him. he is super, super good-- he has a lot of practice. Look at the world's history. *smile*

(Revelation 12:11-12) . . .. 12 On this account be glad, YOU heavens and YOU who reside in them! Woe for the earth and for the sea, because the Devil has come down to YOU, having great anger, knowing he has a short period of time.”

Yes the devil knows where he is going. He knows what is in the Bible, and that is why he has so many people deceived into false doctrine. He sends some out door to door telling people that Jesus is not God. He has some teach that God will cause them to burn forever and ever without release. He tells some to believe that the Sabbath Day was changed, or is no longer important. He has many ways to deceive, and to cause people to be lost.

He knows his time is short since he was cast out he has sworn
to destroy man.
Woe to the inhabiters of the earth … for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.” (Rev. 12:12.) “And thus he goeth … seeking to destroy the souls of men.” And how does he try to destroy people? By taking a little truth and mixing it with a lot of error to deceive the hearts of the people.

The Devil knows he already lost; ergo nothing to lose. Like Christ said as long as we can bring at least one soul unto him, how great are joy will be. For the Devil it's for as long as he can prevent one soul from coming to Christ how great his joy will be.

First of all, there is no god beside God and there is no power beside His power. So where is there room for an intelligent devil with an agenda? The first deception is our “seeming” life form, and from this comes all other deceptions regarding man and creation.

As someone already said, Satan is well-informed of his fate. His tormention of human kind is something he does to get revenge on God, so to speak. "I'm going to destroy everything you love." Though, I certainly don't know the mind of Satan. *shudder*
