Who or what is the devil?

[vaudevillevillain]

I think the devil is metaphorically the ego of man

 

[Kitsune]

Where is this spiritual dimension? Have you been there? What's it like? Any evidence it exists?

I draw the distinction between these two realities because the angels existed at a time before the natural world was formed so there must be a distinct plain of existence where spiritual beings reside one which is seperate from our own

I have no idea "what's it like" as I have never experienced it.

I would assume death is the the nexus or bridge between the two.

As far as proof, then there isnt anything definitive, but I remember reading some article that explained growing belief on how our reality can likely be a byproduct of simulation but I dont pay to much attention to that stuff.

Maybe you would be intersted

the "devil" is an alien (fallen angel) that floats around the atmosphere of earth that he is confined to and manifests himself through the free will of humans for malicious intent

breh, where is this angel or spirit?

the collective consciousness of a free willed but negatively charged society.

So is it natural for the original people on earth to have this rebellious or negative state of mind. Or is it something made over time?

 

[Hip-Hop-Bulls]

of course not. i can only point out how the inconsistencies and contradictions regarding the 'devil' throughout history, make him more than likely something that was made up to scare gullible people

So basically there's a devil but the way he's been presented is bs? I agree

nah, hes a manmade idea

A true G. He fought back and revolted against an oppressive ruler and regime and was locked up and had his name and reputation unjustly drug through the mud for it. The original revolutionary and freethinker.

So you believe god is man made idea as well then.

absolutely. of course i dont know for sure, nobody does. but when you take into account how many different gods have 'definitely' existed, and how many different ways and rules there are to live by in order to please him, the whole idea is just :belip:

Around the earth somewhere hidden in plain sight like the rest of his legion

Well he can't be man made since he's existed long before man. All the "different" gods are just from different cultures. In the end, the god(whoever it is)people acknowledge is still the supreme being. Be it Allah, Yahweh, Krishna, Vishnu w/e.

Everything that people pray to god for can only be done by man(as long as it's realistic). And the original man has existed much longer than the spirit god. God can't be man made.

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

The devil is negative energy that mostly resides in a nappy head bottle....

 

[Majestyx]

he's somewhat of an antagonist, tho some feel he may be misunderstood, in one of the worlds oldest comic books
