He is according to the Bible situated in the lower heavens. He is called the "Prince of the Power of the Air" air = aer, Greek word for the lower atmosphere contiguous with the earth (Ephesians 2:2) He is said to roam through the earth, "seeking whom he may devour" (I Peter 5:8).
Soon he will be cast down from his place in the heavenlies. He will raise up his puppet, the Antichrist (Revelation 12:7 - 13:18).
He will rule with absolute authority for a short time, and then Antichrist and Satan will be overthrown in the Appearing of Jesus Christ. Satan will be bound 1000 years, released for a short time, lead a final rebellion, and then be cast forever into the Lake of Fire. (Revelation 19,20)

Satan is kinda locked in planet earth. He tried to manipulate other planets, but only Eve and Adam made the wrong choice :p Since then Satan and 1/3 of the angels live on planet earth...

99% chance no. spirits can't actually touch anything, they need a body in order to operate on earth.

likely, this could be a bit shocking, Satan is in Heaven. he doesn't live there, but the Bible says that angels and demons fight, and Satan is called the prince of the power of the air. in Job, he was allowed into Heaven. so likely, he's there, just fighting, probably with Michael.

demons whisper, demons possess. I doubt anyone is possessed by Satan himself at the moment, as Satan only possesses when something really big is going down and only he has the real expertise to do it. demons have ranks.

The actual satan is busy doing the important stuff like trying to influence world leaders etc. He goes form hell to the earth, Mainly at night. He has lots of demons (who were once naughty angels kicked out of heaven)Satan was actually an important angel who was jelous of god. Sometimes they appear to humans but mainly r invisible. There is demon possession as well, but sometimes demon possesion is mistaken for mental illness. The book of Revelation is abou the last battle between satan and his armies (humans included_ against God and his angels and humans. Satan believs he is going to win but does not. Wild animals wil also be involved (getting back at the way they have been treated)

Satan and his demons were cast out heaven in 1914 thus the state of the world has worsened immeasureably. Human error is a main reason why things go wrong, but Satan is influencing most every sort of immorality and wickedness we see in the earth today: porn, raping, murdering, no natural affection for each other, stealing, robbing, adultery, fornication, drunkeness and every sort of immorality.

Revelation 12: 10 - 12

Now have come to pass the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ, because the accuser of our brothers has been hurled down, who accuses them day and night before our God! And they conquered him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their witnessing, and they did not love their souls even in the face of death.

On this account be glad, YOU heavens and YOU who reside in them! Woe for the earth and for the sea, because the Devil has come down to YOU, having great anger, knowing he has a short period of time.

satan is a fallen angel. he is the prince of the earth. he rules the world. he is indulgence, he is that drive that makes you do what you want when you want and how you want as long as it is to your own advantage. He is the reason why the church is still in business all this years.satan is kindness to those that deserve it not love to does who wont appreciate it. satan is not turning the other chick but crushing your adversary.you dont need to lookk far to find him.he is not a ghost, he is not omnipresent. but like a great ceo he fills your world with adverts , suggestions. you cant miss him.satan represents man as another animal , sometimes vicious because of is great spiritual and intellectual development, sometimes better than those on all fours.satan is the opposite of love.Love is God.

No, I don't believe in Satan and I reject models of self and world divided by a spiritual conflict between a good one in Heaven and an evil one cast down to and or ruling over Earth.

Physically? Satan is a spirit though able to manifest in certain situations and show physical force. His name means adversary and his purpose is to steal, kill and destroy. Don't play with him. He'll never be your friend. But learn to stand against him by faith in God's word.

Back sometime in the 90's the pope publicly stated that the Anti-Christ is already walking the Earth and he's a Vegetarian.... not sure if thats relevant.

Satan can inhabit peoples' physical bodies (possession, some call it, but I prefer demonization: for a demon to ride a man the way a man would ride a horse) but he doesn't have the same type of physical body as people do --- he is spirit, methinks.

Satan actually lives in the 2nd heaven; 1st heaven is earth, 2nd heaven is like, where he has his office --- not sure how to describe this, like, where he does his bossing around of the other demons --- the kingdom of the air, as it is referred to in scripture, 3rd Heaven is God's Heaven --- paradise. He definitely goes about, to and fro, we can see that from scripture. He can even go up to God's Heaven (see Job).

I think that he can makes himself appear to humans if he chooses (or maybe if God lets him, not sure) but he's not just walking around with a fanny pack and a Coors Light, kickin' it. (Though fanny packs *are* almost that evil! ;) )
