Do you believe the devil exists?

Do you know what is the greatest trick the devil ever played? Convincing people that he does not exist! But, he is not doing a very good job at that.

57% of Americans still believe he does exist, including 72% of African-Americans, 65% of Republicans, and 61% of women (but only 25% of Muslims and 17% of Jews). Interestingly, even 20% of survey respondents who say they don’t adhere to any religion still believe in the devil. The devil clearly needs to work harder at covering his tracks.

What do you believe?

Update: Webutante writes,

We need to believe that Satan exists, that he is powerful and that he will stop at nothing to hurt, hinder and destroy us. He is not an idea. He is not a theory or hypothesis or explanation. He is real, and it is crucial that we remember and believe it.
