Is There Really a Devil?

[Elderman]

Is there basis for believing that a wicked "spirit" creature exists? Or is this belief unfounded?

Wrong section for posting (R&S as you know)- or are you looking for new victims to bite, Elderman.....

[DTCwordfan]

Old Geezer is in fact 25 - in mind at least.......

NO, there is no devil.

Since, according to you, your imaginary deity is good, it has been created by people like you to use as an excuse for anything bad that happens in the world.

No, no and yes

The devil has been found to exist in New York

Elderman, the bible says that the Devil exists, so is belief in The Bible unfounded ?

[EDDIE51]

Look at this . According to the bible (of which I understand you are a bit of a fan) one of The Devils cleverest tactics is convicing people he does not exist.

Elderman , Are you 'The Devil in Diguise' have you been leading us on ?

God has to have someone to blame his mistakes on.

Is it not that some of the worst crimes in America occur within the Bible belt?

If the Devil exists, then logically, since God created everything, it follows that he must have created the Devil too. So, the question is why would this supposedly loving God, who allegedly craves a perfect world, create the Devil at all - and if he did it in error why didn't he remedy his mistake by zapping that troublemaker into oblivion long ago - just as he remedied one of his other errors by sending the Flood? He can do anything he wants can't he? Mmm ... we have a problem here. I suspect that this God is lying to the faithful. He isn't loving, and he doesn't want a perfect world because he's a controlling psychopath who relishes causing misery.

So God is the Devil then?

[naomi24]

Well, the Devil is reputed to be a great trickster, so ......

[jomifl]

^that is what the cathars thought so they were murdered by the catholics (presumably exercising christian compassion)

[naomi24]

:o)

Ah, the crusades. Package holidays in the name of religion.
