What church ?

No of course not. What can oppose God's will?

not as 1 actual entity

Every religion believed in evil spirit’s of some kind. Whether or not there is a Satan as represented by the Christian faith is another question.

But if you don’t believe in Satan you’re also saying you don’t believe in God.

Not really. I believe that there is evil in the world, I don't believe in a physical being in hell.

holy shit on a stick, been saying that for years! it is our nature to be evil and hatefull, the devil made me do it mentally is just a cope out

I beleive that Satan is a representaion of mans power, instinct, and sexuality. Satan represents our nartural instincts, or natural inclinations, just man as an animal.

Perhaps we are the worst animal of all, beacuse of our intellect and our ability to cause destruction.

^sounds like you stole that off of somewhere

haha but anyways... of course satan which may not be his real name exists as a real entity

You're an idiot.

Yeah sure, some horned demon thing is spending eternity in a firey shit hole torturing people because it makes him...happy? What does he have to gain? Doesn't he get bored after 10 billion years?Does this not make sense to anyone else? Let me fill you in, IT'S BULLSHIT.

And that goes for your bible too, burn it immediately and your IQ will instantly go up.

Actually, the devil will not be the torturor, he will be punished for eternity along with anyone else in hell.

learn alittle about what you call bullshit, before you consider it bullshit.

Maybe if you read/study it, even if you dont believe, you wouldnt make such stupid comments.

Well see I was going to read it, and I got through the first 20 pages or so, but then I realized how completely insanely STUPID it is.

Besides, the bible was written by Hebrews who took the story of the Sumerians and distorted it and made it their own. Genesis was copied from the Epic of Creation.

Let's just say, EVERYTHING you think about the bible is WRONG.

You're a joke.

I'm a joke? Genesis is a bad copy of the Epic of Creation, this is indisputable. Your "authors" took from the stories of the ancient Sumerian texts and made their own version. Go read.

satan/lucifer was actually an angel for god and lucifer got really jealous of god ...being god... so he made his own little evil thingy...so yes i belive!!!!ahhaha

any of you have sketches of "the devil"????

i believe in satan, the devil, lucifer, ea, enki, yes i do.

You're right, I paraphrased the Satanic Bible. Something so taboo that most people wont even open it.

It's not really that outlandish is it? More people live like Satanists and don't know it, then actual practicing Satanists.

...as a real entity as described by christianity? No.

...in the sense of the meaning of the hebrew word as applied to everyday life? Yes.

That meaning, by the way, is "one who rebels; one who questions" to the best of my understanding.
