What about Santa Clause? Tooth Fairies? Talking snakes? Talking Donkeys? People living for days in the tummy of whales? Hippy dudes walking on water? Zeus? Aphrodite? That the world is flat? That the world was created 6000 years ago? That anyone is listening when you pray to imaginary gods in private?

It's best 2 KNOW that BOTH Xsist !

Then a COMBINATION of Knowing that BOTH are a reality and then Following God Is the BEST APPROACH

Personal experience, I am only speaking for myself; I pray to a plethora of Gods & Goddesses, including Jesus-usually on behalf of a Christian friend.
I am of Irish Celt descent and follow to the best of my ability the ancient ways with a twist of Wicca, even though my Baptist roots grow deep! As for Santa Clause,Tooth Fairies, etc., I was informed by my mother that there was no such things and that it was my dad busting his hump to buy those presents by the time I was 5.
I don't know much about talking snakes, donkeys....can't say, as for someone living in the belly of a whale, I remember reading it in the Bible when I was still Christian.
Yes, I do believe that some benevolent Higher Power is listening when I pray in private. Many of the serious things I have prayed for (family and friends getting better, etc) have and still do come true.
If you take a look in Genesis (I think that is where it is) Satan is only mentioned a few times. Satan when broken down into syllables is Say-tan meaning the other or opposite. In my religion he is a minor demon, yet can cause humans alot of serious problems when invoked by the unexperienced that don't know how to put him back, by those stupid enough to play with a weeji board alone, the list goes on.
Lucifer would be the one to look out for. But on the whole I do not believe in 'the devil' therefore I am in no way one to pray to him.

**Although I am cool with Jesus, my spirituality and sanity is best when I pray outside of the box.

I believe in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. I believe in the Bible, the written word of God. I believe that a Satan in the form of a snake talked, that a donkey talked, that Jonah lived in the belly of a fish for three days and that Jesus walked on water. If you add up the years from the time of creation to now in the Bible, you will count up approximately 6,000 years.

Santa Clause and Tooth Fairies, are fun but fairy tales. Zeus and Aphrodite are mythology. That the world is flat was originally disproved in God's written Word, the Bible.

God hears me and answers me when I pray because I am His child. If you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and repented of your sin, He doesn't hear you unless you come to Him and believe.

It is God that gives me a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7 says, For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-dicipline.

I'll stick to your main question here.....
For my sanity, I believe BOTH exist. Look in Genesis 1, both the LIGHT and the DARK existed from Day one. It is more insane to believe one over the other. That said, I WORSHIP the creator of them both, Abba Father YHWH, who is above ALL.

You have to believe in both. Because both is absolute truth. God's Word tells us that satan is Lucifer, a fallen angel. I do not FOLLOW satan. I follow the Lord Jesus Christ and do what I can to refute satan.




Oh, I see. Your a troll. Well, God loves you too.

If you believe in Satan you obviously believe in Jesus. There could be NO Satan, if there is no Jesus. HMMMMMM!!!
