Do you guys ever wonder about..tge devil?
|
Or at least have nightmares about it?
Dreams are like our deep buried mind talking to us..and if it shows us nightmares it must mean we are actually scared of it but our conscious mind just zip closes it and keeps it in a corner or we just ignore it.. 
Nope.

No, I don't dream about superstitious fictional things, I am not a kid anymore. I had far more nightmares when I was a kid and did believe. Never had any really horrible frightening dreams as an adult. 
I have nightmares of the devil regularly ...
But in my case, the devil looks and acts exactly like my mother in law! 
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear. 
No nightmares about fictional beings here. Plenty of nightmares about people though!
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!

No. What is there to wonder about? Devil is just an infantile way, for dumb, narcissistic people, to try and distance themselves from their own bad deeds and shameful instincts. "Oh, no - these unacceptable urges I have, they're not a part of me. It's a magical evil goat-man, that makes me do it."
Pathetic.

yes, my boss does sometimes appear in my nightmares, including some of my colleagues

No nightmares about the devil that I recall, but that may be the devil at work.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Anyhoo since we are on the subject of the devil, what is the deal in the mythology between him and god? He was the right hand man so knew gods "powers" but still rebelled meaning either that he thought he could win making god less powerful or that gods rule was so intolerable that he could not take it anymore despite knowing he would fail. And they still have games, see Job to see what I mean. And the Devil acts as gods jailor with god apparently sending people down to be punished in his domain, which by having a domain at all makes god less than omnipotent. its all very confusing. You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid. Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis. 
Nope. No nightmares at all. The idea of a devil was the first thing I dismissed as a child way before I decided that there was no god.
