Is Satan (or the Devil) a Real Being?
 
The thread "Demons and the Believers" made me wonder, do people on AFF believe Satan (or the Devil) is a real being? Or is he simply a construct created in myth and lore.

I believe in the person of the devil. He is the god of this world.

2 Cor. 4:3-4

3But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

They have spiritualized away the reality of the devil. He appreciates their work on his behalf.

Wrong. Others have over spiritualized the reality of the Biblical devil into a Gnostic Dualist syncretism, resulting in the modern impotency of Christianity to turn the world upside down like they did back in the first century. By importing a Zoroastrian version of pagan mythology replete with Jewish myths about fallen angels, hybrid reptilians whose disembodied spirits roam the earth, and the Evil God™ Ahriman, er, I mean Loki, er I mean Set, er, I mean Lucifer/Satan©, and the quest for Level 20 Cleric/Mage spells to "engage the forces of darkness", REAL evil marches unopposed and entire generations languish under the thrall of the REAL devil. Meanwhile, the sheep are told not to worry about all that, just pay tithes and do their navel gazing and they can go to the Grand Stockyard in the Sky when they die (likely from causes inculcated by their real enemies who have convinced a lot of people the enemy is an invisible, omnipresent Lord Foul and his horde of demons sent to invade Shannara so they best get Leveled-up and start anointing courthouses with oil).

The Trinitarian Lithuanian Russian Zionists Naked in Corn flakes CBD using Preterists are to blame for all of it.
