Who is the devil really?

[bluedes]

The Devil appeared as young girls that danced naked, as a crucifix, as a young friend of the monks, as the Spiritual Father or as the Provincial Father; as Pope Pius X, a Guardian Angel, as St. Francis and as Our Lady.

ngiga gud aning padre pio.. devil as young girls dancing naked..

bitaw, basig iyaha pud nang mga demons inside.. pero young girls naked.. weeeeee..!!

[schmuck]

^ therefore I second the motion. Padre Pio needs to be admitted in to a mental institution.

@Hellblazer ewwww hehehe

what did i do this time?

[Angel Sky]

take a look at the movie The Exorcism of Emily Rose. At first, I really found the movie frightening and very believable. I used to believe in exorcism and possessions from the devil. My grandmother once told me not to indulge in such. But at the end.. spoiler kaayo iyang motives. After seeing that movie, I realized na fear-based ra ni na style.

I'm not saying possessions and exorcisms are not real, but to attribute it to the devil? that's extreme, and just fear-ridden agenda.

kita ko ani nga movie, bro. True story ma ni nga movie .

[Hellblazer 2.1]

a true story of a suffering girl. but not a true story of the devil.

[Anydowro]

I don't know why but I do believe in the existence of the devil/satan/sinister force/whatever.... However, as far as I can see today, he doesn't have a job anymore! Men already took him out of his position and replaced him... scatter evil voluntarily.. hahahah..

THEHISTORY OF THE DEVIL
AND THE
IDEA OF EVIL
FROM THE EARLIEST TIMES TO THE PRESENT DAY

by PAUL CARUS

[1900]


This massive work on the history of evil, particularly as symbolized by the Christian devil, was written on the cusp of the 20th century by Paul Carus, who wrote such other books as 'Buddha, the Gospel'.

At that point in history it seemed apparent that evil would soon be eliminated by the onrushing forces of rationalism and modernism. The devil had been reduced to a literary character, always ready to make a silly bargain for a soul. This trivialized image is perpetuated to this day. Satan in the cinema is either represented as a hideous special effect or a comic, bumbling trickster. Long gone is the noble adversary of Jehovah, as portrayed in the Bible, Milton or Dante.

However, the 20th century brought total war; genocide; death camps; nuclear, biological and chemical weapons; mind control; double-speak; ecological destruction; and finally indiscriminant mass terror. Evil was back and it was unmistakable. No wonder that opinion polls in the United States show that a large proportion of the population believe in the existence of the devil.
