Do you believe that the devil is the one who tempts us to sin, with forces and by planting thoughts and images into our minds? And that we all have [Spirituality & Religion]

our demons?

Nope we can't blame anyone but ourselves..

That sounds like something out of a Hellblazer comic.

Anyway, I'm an atheist, so... No.

13 When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; 14 but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.

James 1:13-15

No. The poor fella is just blamed for human depravity and the weak who can't hold themselves accountable for their demons.

The devil is a literary invention, and what is considered "sin" in one society may not be considered so in another...

well. I sure don't notice that much but Satan is actually is a different position than most demons. demons are about the flesh and Satan is Allah. The Great Deceiver and a false spirit of God.

But Satan is not in hell yet. hes the only in prison at Heaven right now

ya. "We all have our demons" is way to strong. A possessed person has a demon in them the rest of us just have bad habits--we aren't perfect. I think

No that's just making the so called devil a scapegoat for thoughts/feelings/desires you already had on your own. It's human

No. I think that's trying to find an external excuse for our own choices.

We all have our own demons, metaphorically, not literally.

Do you believe that the devil exists?

@xal132: I do, I may not see him, but I know that there is a greater evil, and that he is a fallen angel and a defeated foe. I also believe in God, and Jesus and the holy spirit.

No. We are responsible for our thoughts and actions
