No clue what you're talking about. Too bad coherency isn't a YA requirement.

The devil does not exist, so it does not matter what you say he believes or experiences. That is only your word that has no proof at all. My IQ is genius level, so I'll match it with yours or anyone else's any time. The most intelligent people do not blindly believe in gods and devils. Do you believe in Ahuramazda and Ahriman of Persian Zoroastrianism? The Devil was copied from Ahriman. He was not in the Bible until the time of the Persian captivity. What does that say about your intelligence if you do not know that? Do you believe in Allah, Amon, Baal, Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, Zeus, Odin, Jove, Marduk, Yu Ti, Ma Lo Wong, the Flying Spaghetti Monster, etc, etc, etc? People of other religions may say you have little intelligence for believing in Yahweh the god invented by Moses, rather than their gods. Try to be objective!

I'm not sure what exactly the connection is (are atheists the Devil; are we supposed to believe in God because the Devil we admire so much does; do you assume that we also have first hand experience of God because the Devil did, because atheists live vicariously through Satan?). All I know is, if this has any sense of coherence at all, you are still insane.

Um, I don't believe in god or the devil, so I have no idea what you think this proves to an atheist. What does that say about your intelligence? You obviously are not educated enough to get your facts straight before asking a question.

If the muppets believe in Santa Claus and have first hand experience of his being Real, what does that say about YOUR intelligence? Just curious.
I bet you think this is a different case - but it isn't. If fictional entity A believes in another fictional entity B does this imply that B is real? What is your IQ? (Just curious!)

It doesn't say anything as starting from a false premise can prove anything. Your premise is that the Devil believes in in God, but just like God, there is no proof or evidence that the Devil exists.

The devil had contact with the almighty, even sat in his presence, and rebelled, along with 1/3 of the angels. They know the extent of his power and found it lacking. What does that say about YOUR intelligence in following a god that can't even control those who sat in his presence?
This is assuming that either are real in the first place, which ATHEISTS (notice the spelling) don't anyways.(I totally ripped this last part off from everyone else answering this)

LOL. I'm sure that the ancient Greek philosopher, Moronicus, would have been gratified to know how faithfully his intellectual legacy has carried on, all these many centuries.
It is questions like this that make me wish for a new Yahoo Q&A feature where we could vote on a question's "value", in a range of +5 to -5. I don't know what the appropriate 'legends' should be for all the values... we can work on that... except that the legend for -5 would be "droolingly stupid".
I would rate this question as a -5.

Er, I think you don't know what the word "Atheist" means.
An atheist is someone who doesn't believe in gods. Hardly any of them believe in devils either. And "first hand experience of His being Real" doesn't make any sense - you're apparently also confused about the value of personal experience as evidence.
Oh, and my intelligence is illustrated by my ability to spell correctly. For example, notice that unlike you, I wrote "atheist" and "intelligence".

Proves our intelligence since both god and the devil are made up. It is like saying that if I had an imaginary friend and he had an enemy, it would make them both real. Two wrongs do not make a right.

Um, you obviously don't understand what the word "atheist" means, dude. We don't believe in good or bad invisible people from the sky. I'm sure that MrTumness believes in Aslan too, that doesn't make The Chronlicles of Narnia anything more than a story. Capiche?
(Your "logic" is circular)
