If you have time and could explain why you do or don't believe in the devil or "Satan", I would appreciate it.

No, Satan is an attempt by Christians to reconcile an all knowing all good all powerful God with the existence of evil in the world.
Unfortunately it raises far more questions than it answers:
If God is omnipotent and evil exists and Satan is the reason for this evil, that makes Satan an subordinate deity. A God with an evil subordinate is not all good.
If he's not a subordinate but a competing God, then God is not all powerful because he has competition.

Satan is very real. Satan used to be an angel with God in heaven. His name was Lucifer. He wanted to be higher than God, so God kicked him out of heaven as well as a third of the angels that followed Satan. Satan is now "the devil". God has given him free reign over the world until God comes back.

The greatest trick the devil has ever pulled is convincing the world he doesnt exist.The devil is the one who tells everybody to do the wrong thing.When someone you know is doing something wrong and you know they know better, that would be the devil telling them what to do.The next time you find yourself getting jelous because someone is driving a better car thats the devil telling you to hate .But dont let him convence you he doesnt exist because thats what he wants.

Whether there is really an actual devil or not, there really are evil forces in the world.

Yes, there is really a devil.
Why do I believe that? Because of what it says in the Bible.

if ya believe in anything hard enough or are brain washed from childhood to believe such, it can become a reality for you, but not for me....the image of satan was created by christains to demonize the Pagan horned Gods...much as many Pagan traditions and images were recreated in the christain tradition of theft

yes, because the Bible says there is.
he was the most beautiful angel of all time, but he wanted to take God's place. God punished him (Lucifer) and his followers (other angels on Lucifer's side) and changed them into the ugliest things ever. Well, something like that anyway.

I am an Atheist. I don't believe in God, so why should I believe in a person with even less proof surrounding him ?
