The devil is alive and doing very well! The thing that we call the devil is a conceptual thing that has its existence in what we think and what we perceive as being evil. The devil is not a human or an animal or has it any concrete form. The devil is the embodiment of evil thought. Unlike God which is the creator of all things and everything, the devil is the embodiment of all things we humans identify with as, murder, robbery, molestation, rape, incest, and the other well known sins.
All of the other species of this earth have no evil thoughts and therefore know not of evil or the devil, however, all of them recognize their creator which is God.
Do not fear the devil because it is not a real thing but is only evil thought which by and in itself cannot harm anyone, but beware of evil men and evil women because they are the ones that are the true devils of this world!

Hope, peace, joy, love ...
