I have heard that satans greatest lie, is that he convinces people that he does not exzist! What do you think about this?

That's rich! I would say you are one paranoid mofo!
Just kidding.......... Of Course I think you should consider the Course you are on with this kind of thinking. Of Course it sounds like the Course you are following is a narrow path indeed! Could you use a Miracle in your life to open some doors of perception? Suspend your certainties of hell and punishment and trust that the Creator offers only Mercy to all equally. Nothing less. Of Course one cannot learn anything new in a constant state of panic, so of Course I think freedom from fear should be a top priority. And just what is a Miracle? A Miracle is of Course an act of absolute, unselfish, unconditional, good old fashion kindness. A Miracle is undivided Love extending itself, shining like sunlight in the minds of all who will receive it.
I think satan is hatred. Hatred is caused by fear, is it not? Of Course it is. Fear produces hate. Courage produces Love. It's an open book.

True, the greatest enemy is the one you do not believe exist, yet does.
The word 'satan' is the Hebrew transliteration of the word 'adversary.' Therefore, Satan is the one who opposes God. Satan, is the most powerful of the fallen angels. Satan, also known as Lucifer and the Devil, is said to be the one who entered the Garden of Eden and convinced Eve to disobey God. There is debate among scholars regarding the time of the fall of Satan. Some say that he fell when he moved Eve to disobey God. Others state that Satan fell sometime before that and merely manifested his adversarial nature in the Garden. Still others say that there was a great battle in heaven long before the Garden of Eden and that Satan took one third of the angels with him.

I personally believe EVERYTHING in the Bible.
(I know that Satan does exist because I have seen too many instances:
1) I was in a forbidden temple, and witnessed things beyond comprehension. Nobody will be believe it, so I don't repeat it)
2) In S. America, I witnessed an excorcism.
If these demons/devils exist, and I saw the affects with my own eyes, would I not believe that the Devil (the father of lies) also exist? He was the "chief angel". If he is the father of lies, I think he probably knows something about masking the truth!

This is definitely the TRUTH....If he does not exist then we are not doing any wrong, right? I just went through this with a few people on another level. I asked them if they believed in angels. They all replied YES. I then asked: Do you believe that your angels help you? They all replied YES. I then asked if they believe in Demons. They were flabbergasted!! They all at first said NO. But, once I reminded them about believing in angels they were actually terrified to admit that more then likely the other half does live. (demons) They just don't think about the bad!!! But, it's so easy to believe in the good!!!!!!!
I believe it ALL exists!!!! And, yes, Satan is in hiding. This is his greatest trick to convince people to his side, without them realizing what they are doing. If he came out and said "hey join me" You know most people will run. He get's more souls this way.....

Well, i will give you my opinion, what is the relevance if he exists or not>?
The question is like in anything , what we know is he is a fallen angel , rebellious and evil in nature, deceitful, cunning and a liar..
He had free will and choose to fall .. He unlike other angels does not like human kind and does not have their best interests at heart.
So when people say i do not believe i think what they are really saying is will not give him the time of day!!! Don't waste energy or thought on him!
Do you believe in angels? That's the question..
Place your thoughts love and pondering on what guides us on that illuminating being that fills us and gives us life, the one the angels serve, the one HE wanted to be above!
Si "if" he is real "he" is not worth it , and if he is not , than again, it's a question of positive and negative, how much time do you want to dwell on the negative?

This is true what you say. There is a massive debate going on now in South Africa (my country) about the synod of the Dutch Reformed Church (my church) who are trying to decide whether Satan really exist or whether Satan is only simbolic of our sinful nature. It is shocking that such a debate exists in our church. There is a small minority group who says that Jesus never released demons from people, but rather healed there psychological disorders! Now I wonder by myself how Jesus managed to transfer those "psychological disorders" into pigs who ran of cliffs to kill themselves. (See my sarcasm?)
Satan is real. The farter (I mean, father) of lies walks like a lion among us.

This answer will depend on what religious or spiritual belief system you belong to. Many groups in the world do not ack the existance of Hell, or Satan. Just try to live a good life, treat others well, and don't worry about it.

Satan is a convenient excuse for people to misbehave. How many times have you heard, "The devil made me do it?" We have seen many preachers come out and say Satan is to blame for my infidelity---no you are because you couldn't keep it in your pants! Only weak minded people believe in this scam
