I can't be scared of an entity I don't believe in. Also I don't believe in a worldly struggle between good spirits and evil spirits, a belief that predates Judaism and Christianity called Zoroastrianism, also the first monotheistic religion.
People use the made up entity "satan" as an excuse for not taking responsibilty for their own actions. I believe in free will. We stray from God because we are not perfect.

You should do some research buddy. Satan is not just a judeo-Christian belief. The name Satan comes from the ceremonial name of the Egyptian god Set...Set-hen. Enemy. Set-hen has counterparts back up to Summeria, where he is Enki(I could put the full history...but it'd take too long). So If you're Pagan/Wiccan...well then you're dumb because you think he's made up, when in all reality, he was merely changed to fit Christian standards. He's a real being.

First of all, Satan is not a made up entity, and because I believe in God, I know for myself that God will protect me from anything Satan tries to throw my way.

My question to you is. Who was it that made up the entity called Satan?
Jesus called him by name, contested with him in the desert.
If you die in a state of sin, you can ask Satan if he is real.

I'm not.
I am scared of what some people do in his name. I am scared though, of what some people do for amusement.
While Satan may not be real, evil is.

This question always leads into another question. " If Satan doesn't exist. How do we know evil really exists?" The answer is. Yes. He is real and so is evil in the world.

I'm not scared of Satan, I'm scared that Satan will bring me to commit many sins and disobey my Lord, Allah (swt). And he's not made up.

Anytime someone is out to get you in a coldhearted manner common sense says you should be uneasy and cautious.
