The Devil

The devil is a frightening concept because he seems to be extremely powerful and extremely active.  He is perceived as a force in combat with God, battling Him for possession of His creations.  The devil deceives by lies, and builds kingdoms in which everything is in direct opposition to God.  Yet he attracts men rather than repels them, and they are willing to sell him their souls in return for gifts of no real worth.  This makes absolutely no sense.  (A Course In Miracles, Chapter 3, VII, 2, 4-8) 7 February 2012
