The Devil is a fascinating figure, you never know where you got him..If you think that I believe in him, as a reality like sunshine or rain, you are mistaken. I'm just intrigued by his presence in the human mind, like a nightmare from the first days of our existence. He frightens and fascinates us. He never play by the rules, and you could say that he's a trickster...Or maybe there's more to him than that?Even though our time isn't obsessed with the devil as a reality and a cause to all harm, we still feel his presence. In our everyday choice we are faced with the possibility of evil- and good-doing (I can't find a better word to describe the actual happening). We can choose that our actions is for the good of man, or we can act selfish and don't care about other than ourselves. We think "survival of the fittest, at any cost", and nothing can stand in our way for self-fulfillment and success. We leave a trail of darkness, jealousy, pain and hate. This is the Devils trademark. He sits in the corner of our mind, laughing, and hope that we will repeat and repeat.
The Devil does not exist, but he lives through humanities cruelest features.
You can find him anywhere....

Very interesting points. I especially liked the line:
"The Devil does not exist, but he lives through humanities cruelest features."
That's how I've always thought of evil too, not as an entity like religious people think of it but as something that comes out in human behaviour when people can be selfish and cruel. We sadly never need to look far to see examples of that.
