I generalized what Christians believe earlier into Spiritual Evil. I do believe that he is a being though - an individual. I believe that God is an individual as well.

I don't generally believe in possession or magic.

I don't understand why this particular view is so offensive.

It's an interesting interview el_bryanto Oct 2013 #10

I think its a good sign that the interviewer flat out discounts the "existance" of "Satan". PassingFair Oct 2013 #23

That's not what I believe the devil to look like. el_bryanto Oct 2013 #47
