Of course, but Satan is not necessarily a bodily being, rather can incarnate if he were to so choose.  Satan is a concept more than a corporeal being, and basically means the Accuser or the Deceiver.  It is my understanding, from theological studies, that Satan is subordinate to Lucifer, or at most reflections of Lucifer.  Others believe that Satan and Lucifer are the same.\n\nI'll skip the part about the Babylonian Captivity and the Demiurge of Yezidism.  Although that is quite fascinating, it took me months of study to understand the role of the Demiurge, Shai'tan.\n\nIt is believed that the purpose of Satan is to test humanity, and to create spiritual entropy within an individual or group.\n\nimacatholic2 could best explain the Roman Catholic Church's position.

No I haven't seen them. We have the Bible to let us know what God wants, how to be saved, how to live the christian life, etc.\n\nThis is a trick of demons. the Bible says Satan can come as a being of light.\n\n2 Cor. 11:14 And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.

Alas, what answers!\nThe devil is real --- his name Heylel --- known as Satan to nearly everyone.  He is not a myth... he physically exists.  He don't want to be openly seen by people... that's why you people think he is a myth.  He is a deceiver... very subtle.\n\nI know him... I know what he really looks like... I know what he acts like... I even know many of his facial expressions.  I hate that... but its true.\n\nI am not afraid of him either.  Before I was a Christian, he maliciously tried to harm me, and I tried to choke him.  Is that fear?  no... that’s anger.\n\nHeylel is not a myth... not something of the mind... he is physically real.  \n\nHere is a website that explains his form... what he looks like... what he does... what he acts like... and how to overcome him... so on.  http://heylel.info

For both of your questions:  God does not exist as he is told of in the Bible.  That is merely a manifestation of mankind's idiocy in a textual form.  Really, somehting as drastic as salvation cannot be attained simply by asking forgiveness.  God exists as a force of nature, and ironically enough, was worshipped under the name Shaitan (Satan) before the Christains came and torched everyone who thought differently than they!  It's historical, YOU CAN LOOK IT UP!  REMEMBER THE INQUISITIONS!\n\nAnd upon your question on god hating anyone?  It is in your Bible.  I swear, I know more about the bible than christians do.  ...Jacob whom I have loved...Esau who I have hated...read your f****** holy book.

I don't think any sane person worships Satan.  Socrates was right when he suggested that no one can do something evil on purpose, and the devil is the epitome of evil.  Therefore, no one would knowingly worship Satan.  So-called Satanists are just Dungeons & Dragons geeks who want to seem bad-ass.  There are bigger things to worry about than this irrational fear of Satanists.

beleive all is possible! The mind is very powerful! It can be good or bad! It's all what u make of it! It is a form of religion(believing in what is seen and felt)they cant be judged,as noone should!\nBut yes i believe they exist,they are spiritual people,they just chose odd ways to do so,that other's dont understand! Most fear it, cause they dont understand it,or they chose not too!\n I practice their beliefs, we are not worshipers of satan(but there are some who do,but we can tell who they are!)\n Live life your way,and how you see fit,cause no matter what you believe in, someday we will all sit at the judgement table together!!

Satan is a deceiver, so he puts it in the hearts of man to copy the real thing and make up a false religion. The devil is the father of all lies according to the bible.

Yes He exists. God is omnipotent, He does not have "magic" powers since magic indicates illusion. God has real powers. He created the Heavens and the Earth, mankind and all the creatures and plants on this earth. God is not in a tombstone. Jesus died on the cross and was resurrected, He then ascended to Heaven. Read the Bible and pray. If you seek God, you will find Him, He will reveal Himself to you. Gos bless.

i think overall, No.\nhave i ever pondered this same question, i have.\ni think for some, they so want to see the good in others, that they fail to remember  that the enemy is alive and well, and working hard.  he's got some very ungodly tricks up his sleeve. he's ruthless and ugly, and im sure its not beyond him to deliver false prophets, and why shouldnt he, he's satan.\n\nWhat we need to focus on is who God is. We know He isnt a liar, or a fake. He does not manipulate or push. When we focus on Him and cover ourselves in the blood, we are protected. Period. and we can accept that, because that is Gods promise.\nWe can pray for and are given "DISCERNMENT". Period.\nif you have doubts or questions they can all be found and answered in the word of God, the Bible.

Does Darkness really exist?

"hell" does not exist, the idea for "hell" was made up from christianity and copied from the pagan greek/roman religions of the time.\nBuddhists will not go to hell.\nLook in the torah and the tanakh and you will not find a single reference to "hell"... perhaps in the re-written christian "old testiment" you will but that is changed and meaningless

Explain your question, do you want to know if God exists or why God exists?

I believe in what you believe it seems. I don't think the evolutionary theory is an excuse though. Satan had to do something to give non-believers a way to think without the Lord in their life.Now the monkey thing may be wierd or stupid,but if you didn't believe in the Lord, what would you believe to prove He doesn't exist?

sin is in human nature...that whole concept of free choice.  satan just puts the oppertunities in our path.  well, if the Bible is satans greatest work, then why do you beleive in satan and God at all?

If you are asking whether i believe that he exists, then the definite answer is yes, but if your answer is whether i believe in him, then my answer is no. \n\nWhy should i? The bible calls him the father of liars, he also a murderer; (John.8:44) \n\n"You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it."\n\nHe is the chief inventor of lies, even when he tells you its day, be careful, it might just be night. I wouldn't believe him even if he had 10 million dollars and he told me he would give me 10 dollars
