I definately believe in the devil. Not just as evil acts but as a being. He is a fallen angel and definately has control and influence over our lives if we let him. (Which I don't)I actually try not to give him any credence or attention at all.

I have seen many become controlled by his influences and pray that the Lord guide them back on the right path.

Some say that he doesn't exist,that it's a mental state..But I say that if you believe in GOD you have to believe in Satan.Satan who was God's most beloved Angel,who wanted so much to be like God that he rebelled against Him and was cast out along with his followers.Your basic good and evil, you can't have one without the other..And Personally I do believe in him, he sends his demons to attack you.I first experienced a demon when I was 2 or 3 years old, the second time was many years later..But that's another story..

Yes, I believe in the devil and how evil he is. All Christians believe this.

At this point I'm not sure where I stand on the issue. I was raised Christian...strict Christian. I'm not Christian anymore. I don't belong to any one faith now, but I can see some truth or good in all of them. I lean more towards Buddhism, new age, pagan type religions now. I'm spiritual but not religious. I think that if there is a balance. If there is light there is dark, If there is good there is bad. But I don't think that I believe in the devil. I definately don't believe in hell. If "God is Love" as it states so many different ways in the Bible, then why would he condemn his creation to burn eternally in hell? It just doesn't make sense to me.

I believe in them.
I have a true story of almost everyone in my school being possessed by demons( modern term is hysteria). That happened when i was in boarding school 7 years ago.
