Do you also believe in the devil? If one exists then so must the other right? Like you couldn't have light without dark....What do you think?

Just about every belief I've ever heard of believes in both. If the devil or purgatory didn't exist, what would be the incentive of believing in any religion? People would have no consquences for doing something bad. Organized religion was always meant to keep people from doing bad with the hopes of the afterlife from doing good.

To the first two respondents- there are many different anti-psychotics on the market. Your local skull-jockey can help you choose which one is right for you. This has been an advertisement just for you from the ENTIRE Mental Health Industry. Now, to the question at hand. It's not that I believe "in" the adversary, but more that I recognize his existence. The adversary's most effective ploy has been to do just the opposite of what you ask. If he can get weak-minded people (like 1 & 2) to believe that he DOESN'T exist, and as many as possible, then, by logical extension, God DOESN'T exist. If God doen't exist, then hey- the whole thing is a myth. Judging by some of the dumbass comments in this forum, he's doing a bang-up job.

I believe In demons, but i also believe even demons can be good, and some are considered demons by apperance and not actions. Looks can be decieving. I also believe humans have the potential to become Gods, and I also believe that christianity is a regression away from spirituality, so is a relationship with Jesus. God made us to be leaders, not followers. I know, not just believe but KNOW that there is no true light or darkness, there is good, neutral, and evil and most people are more neutral than good or evil.

Yes, I believe in the devil. If the devil didn't exist, this world would probably be a somewhat better place to live because he/she wouldn't be here causing trouble.

No. The Devil is coined by Semitic Religions. Your light and dark analogy is ripped off from thousands of years of Eastern thought: it is also badly done.
There are demons in other religions, but no evil devil. That image was created to control people through centralised fear. Fear of an imaginery place called Hell.

I believe in one God and in heaven and hell. I aslo the ruler of hell is The Devil. Satan. Whatever people want to call him.
I'm not sure what powers satan has. He can tempt people and take them to hell if they where not worthy of heaven (did no good in there life and didnt ask for forgivness.)
I aslo agree with the person who said God has LOTs more power over the Devil

The same thing the first guy said and. .
In the Bible it tells us that there is a Devil. .so if you believe in the Bible then you have to believe in the devil. .in an indirect kinda way. Only makes sense to me.

I believe in the one true God, His son Jesus Christ, and His Holy Spirit. I also believe in Satan. He was a created being-- an angel that wanted to be above God. He was greatly mistaken. Creation can not measure up to Creattor.
God bless,

Yes I believe in God....Who but God controls the futrue Who but God has a home for us that is eternal Who but God forgives our sins Who but God can give us a life that last forever No wonder he is our hope!..........As long as Satan has power to deceive he will deceive other, and they in turn will try to deceive us. The worst kind of deceiver is the false teacher, who appears to come for our good only to lead us on a destructive path
