That is all a part of the demonic realm-- NOT of God. The bible speaks about how satan is indeed real, and how he deceives, how he is the father of lies-- see John 8.

Job 1 & 2 have Satan and God having two conversations with each other. Sounds like more than just a metaphor, at least if you believe the Bible. Jesus himself also speaks to a real Satan in the desert in Luke 4. Revelation (Your 'Satan' comes from Rev 12-13, I'm assuming) is full of numeric metaphors, so that description may be metaphoric, but Satan himself is real enough.

I believe that Satan is something that was made up to #1 keep the masses inline and keep them afraid of doing something "bad" or from going back to their Gods & Goddesses and #2 to give certain members of society an "out" ... ya know I didn't do it on my own free will Satan was inside me, the Devil made me do it ... any way not to take personal responsibility! ... now if you're asking about ANGELS, yes I believe in them.
NOW, if you go back to times before everything that felt good was a sin you can find the original meaning of a daemon (demon) was a being that is part-god and part-human or a spirit supposed to look after a person or place and definitely not evil. BUT, if you want to keep the masses in line and they believe in these "things" and they make them still worship certain places & Gods then you have to make them evil so only your religion is the "good" religion. It's what has been going on from time immemorial, when you take over one persons land you make their Gods & Goddesses evil or you rename them and include their characteristics into your Gods & Goddesses. Case in point? Romans have their God Mithra/Mithras that they refused to quit worshipping (he was well loved of course ... his statistics are he was born on December 25th, to a virgin, traveled around healing & taking care of the poor w/ 12 of his followers, was a dying & resurrecting God, etc) ... then the converted Hebrews come a long w/their new God and lo and behold ... who does the above sound like?
Like the Druids say ... "All Gods are One God!"

Yes, Satan and his angels are real. You can’t talk to the dead…even Satan can come as angel of light.
The fact is Satan is everywhere, for God’s purpose not just his own….here are some scriptures
1 Corinthians 5:5
To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
Revelation 2:9
I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
Luke 22:3
Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.
1 Thessalonians 2:18
Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.
1 Timothy 1:20
Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
Job 1:6
Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them
Paul warned us about angels and men corrupting the Word of God
Who do you think these angels were?
Galatians 1 8But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

Just go to a country where they practise black magic openly. You can see the eyes of these people and know there is a demonic spirit in them. In the US, things are more subtle but still there. There are many pastors in the churches today that can tell you stories about evil spirits and actual demon posession. The common factor in these people is their hatred for God and Jesus.

Of course Satan is real, and so are his fallen angles. When someone thinks they are talking to dead relative, its really one of Satan's little devils, fresh out of devil school. Oh! And demons is what we call the fallen angles, cause their really bad.

I know he is real. And people who have seen ghosts haven't actually seen their dead relatives, they've seen demons. People who claim to talk to the dead are making that up. It's totally impossible. They might be doing it innocently, just to make some money, but then again they might be (this is gonna sound crazy) talking to the devil. That's just my view, but I know I'm right.

Ummm don't tie ghosts into mythology surrounding "satan'. The first exists but the latter does not. Read "The Origins of Satan" by Elaine Pagels.

Dude or Chick, good question!! Well...I dont believe he does...I know he does and his demons! I have had horrible experiences with them and ghosts are demons transformed into deceased ones to decieve peole to believe in the occult and psychics and stuff!!! When humans die they go to the place they chose to go to in their life...either heaven or hell!! So they are real and there is no middle between heaven adn hell and the dead cannot communicate with us!! If you have any questions feel free to email me at blinkxxofxanxeye@yahoo.com!
God Bless You! :-)
