"If it contradicts the holy book!"
Oh yea, thats real easy to determine, seeing how there are a million different interpretations for every type of holy book in any religion. Even if it could easily be determined, what a contradiction is, cant the devil still "use you" without contradicting the holy book?
Islam for example endorses murder in every circumstance, with the exception of other Muslims, so cant the devil trick goodly Muslims into murder that doesnt contradict the book?
Sounds like you have to be smarter than the devil to know if he is tricking you...which then means that God detests people he made stupid. If stupid people, with "strong faith" (whatever that is) can uncover the devils tricks, then the devil isnt very smart is he?

You are tricked if you even believe in the Devil, a character out of Persian religion that the Jews picked up (among other things) during the Babylonian Exile. It was not an original part of the religion. Neither was Hell, another Persian idea.

The devil is an idea, as an idea it sure as hell does exist.
Learn how another idea is poised to create great devastation in the world because it has not been wipe out of existence.

There is no such thing.
Admission in any manner of the existence of a devil means that you have already been tricked.
But I like cricket's answer, too.
