Not to offend anybody, but I'm atheist, so I don't believe that the devil is a real being.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯]]> 2017-03-17 12:56:16 UTC https://padlet.com/tmyres/qa5trwye8j8v/wish/160776732 https://padlet.com/tmyres/qa5trwye8j8v/wish/160779120 The devil to me is not important. This is because the devil  to me isn't a real being . Also I think that the devil is just a metaphor for death. I also think that the devil is a bully that likes to put people through things that they don't want to do.]]> 2017-03-17 13:04:25 UTC https://padlet.com/tmyres/qa5trwye8j8v/wish/160779120 https://padlet.com/tmyres/qa5trwye8j8v/wish/160781719 The devil means something to me, but not really important. I'm a Christian and believe in the whole God and Devil thing. I believe that he is also Death, itself. I believe that there is an after life and you either do to Heaven and Hell. I've heard multiple stories of people making a deal with the devil. I also believe that there are ghosts. I've heard of many paranormal experiences and sort of had my own encounter.]]> 2017-03-17 13:13:06 UTC https://padlet.com/tmyres/qa5trwye8j8v/wish/160781719 https://padlet.com/tmyres/qa5trwye8j8v/wish/160781763 The devil doesn't really mean much to me. I honestly don't care about him that much. He's just a metaphor for death, nothing more. In literature the devil is some kind of "demon" that takes your soul if you lose a bet. Aside from people's interpretations, those are the only pieces of proof we have that the devil exists. The devil is just a fictional creature.]]> 2017-03-17 13:13:14 UTC https://padlet.com/tmyres/qa5trwye8j8v/wish/160781763 https://padlet.com/tmyres/qa5trwye8j8v/wish/160781769 To me, the devil can mean two things. One is a biblical being of a person who will take you soul if you haven't lived a good life. The second thing is a metaphor of death. When you make a deal with him, such as in The Tale of The Three Brothers, most of the time your end result will be death. But really, the devil is really just a fictional, make-believe character.]]> 2017-03-17 13:13:15 UTC https://padlet.com/tmyres/qa5trwye8j8v/wish/160781769 https://padlet.com/tmyres/qa5trwye8j8v/wish/160781771 Rather than actually believe the devil is a real concept which infects my world he is much more interesting in a literary sense. Even though I was indoctrinated into a religion which worships Jesus I cannot be sure if the exact words are true. The devil itself may or may not be real but that is not what I would like to talk about. A character which is the incarnation of evil within the world can be interesting and add to the lore of a fictional world and even though he represents all bad things in the world the idea of devil can be fleshed out as much as any other character. Through his many representations in the media and our human culture in general he becomes many things. I would like to state not what the devil is to me but what I wish they were like. Through my fictional cannon for the universe the Devil is a being grounded not in suffering but the independence of man from godly beings, not making him inherently evil but by nature rebellious to all ideas created by that god-like being, influencing humanity to turn away from a godly authority.]]> 2017-03-17 13:13:16 UTC https://padlet.com/tmyres/qa5trwye8j8v/wish/160781771 https://padlet.com/tmyres/qa5trwye8j8v/wish/160781801 To me, I feel that the devil is a representation of all things evil or not good in terms of when he is used in literature and more. I think this because all villains in literature seem to stem from this being in some shape or form due to his wicked nature. Furthermore, in terms of the religion of Christianity, the devil is always personified as a being who represents death and all things that are not good. ]]> 2017-03-17 13:13:21 UTC https://padlet.com/tmyres/qa5trwye8j8v/wish/160781801 https://padlet.com/tmyres/qa5trwye8j8v/wish/160781813 To me the devil is an evil person/spirit. So I do think that it represents evil and death. But when I think of the devil I picture the normal red person with horns, with a spear, and a black mist around him.]]> 2017-03-17 13:13:23 UTC https://padlet.com/tmyres/qa5trwye8j8v/wish/160781813 https://padlet.com/tmyres/qa5trwye8j8v/wish/160781887 To me the devil is a lamo head. He's not that rad because he is a very spooky dude. One time he possessed my Aunt Sally. R.I.P. Aunt Sally. ]]> 2017-03-17 13:13:34 UTC https://padlet.com/tmyres/qa5trwye8j8v/wish/160781887 https://padlet.com/tmyres/qa5trwye8j8v/wish/160781965 Who/What does the devil mean to me? The devil is a real important figure to me. I am a christian so I believe that the devil is a really bad person. I have seen poeple make deals with the devil in "Witches! The Absolutely True Tale of Disaster in Salem"]]> 2017-03-17 13:13:47 UTC https://padlet.com/tmyres/qa5trwye8j8v/wish/160781965 https://padlet.com/tmyres/qa5trwye8j8v/wish/160782019 To me, the devil is not an actual being but a metaphor. The term devil is used a sign for death in stories. I personally do not think that the devil is an actual figure. He/She is what goes against the goodness of the others in the storybooks. I do not believe in the devil but, we all have different beliefs. ]]> 2017-03-17 13:13:56 UTC https://padlet.com/tmyres/qa5trwye8j8v/wish/160782019 https://padlet.com/tmyres/qa5trwye8j8v/wish/160782083 What does the devil or in this case El diablo mean to me? To me the devil is a spiritual being that represents darkness and the path to eternal torture and punishment. People may take it as cool funny thing to be like the devil bad or evil but I think that the being want to lead you into darkness. IT IS NOT OK (not done)]]> 2017-03-17 13:14:06 UTC https://padlet.com/tmyres/qa5trwye8j8v/wish/160782083 https://padlet.com/tmyres/qa5trwye8j8v/wish/160782086 To me, the devil is not as much an actual being as he is a metaphor for consequences of your actions. In a literary sense, the devil can the good and bad things that a character has done throughout the story. For example, if an overconfident, cocky, or arrogant character was to fight the devil, they would surely lose. However, if an innocent character was to come into contact with the devil, it is likely that they would prevail as reward for their good actions.]]> 2017-03-17 13:14:06 UTC https://padlet.com/tmyres/qa5trwye8j8v/wish/160782086 https://padlet.com/tmyres/qa5trwye8j8v/wish/160782093 The devil, to me, is nothing. I don't think the devil is real because if he were he probably would have tried to take everyone's soul by now.]]> 2017-03-17 13:14:07 UTC https://padlet.com/tmyres/qa5trwye8j8v/wish/160782093 https://padlet.com/tmyres/qa5trwye8j8v/wish/160782095 The devil is not real, because if it was, there would probably be more deaths than births.]]> 2017-03-17 13:14:08 UTC https://padlet.com/tmyres/qa5trwye8j8v/wish/160782095 https://padlet.com/tmyres/qa5trwye8j8v/wish/160782147 The devil doesn't play a big role in my life or religion. When I think of the devil I think of a religion that believes in him. The devil is referred to when people are talking about death and what will happen to you when you die. I also think that it refers to how you act while you are alive. ]]> 2017-03-17 13:14:15 UTC https://padlet.com/tmyres/qa5trwye8j8v/wish/160782147 https://padlet.com/tmyres/qa5trwye8j8v/wish/160782160 To me, the devil is a devil/demon. I believe that he is in hell and is real. I also believe that only a few people go to hell. In literary terms, I believe that he is just another way for the author to declare death, or a reaper of souls.  He is normally the bad guy or the antagonist of many stories.]]> 2017-03-17 13:14:17 UTC https://padlet.com/tmyres/qa5trwye8j8v/wish/160782160 tmyres https://padlet.com/tmyres/qa5trwye8j8v/wish/160782176 I have read and heard many stories about "a devil" character. To me, the devil represents evil or the antagonist. He/She is anything that goes against the "goodness or hero" of the story. Do I believe in an actual devil? I believe we all have our personal devils to battle.]]> 2017-03-17 13:14:21 UTC https://padlet.com/tmyres/qa5trwye8j8v/wish/160782176 wittegia https://padlet.com/tmyres/qa5trwye8j8v/wish/160782456 I believe that the devil is used to represent death but you should also be careful about what you say about the devil.  The devil does not impact my life personally but that does not mean it he doesn't impact the people I know.  Many people believe that the devil only effects you when you are dead but I think it can have an impact on you when you are still alive if you do something terrible. The devil is a symbol for bad actions and death and it also has a very strong meaning in some religion. ]]> 2017-03-17 13:15:10 UTC https://padlet.com/tmyres/qa5trwye8j8v/wish/160782456 https://padlet.com/tmyres/qa5trwye8j8v/wish/160815137 To me, the devil usually represents something you want, but you'll have to give something up in order to get the thing you really want most in life. I think that this thought derives from the quote, "selling your soul to the devil" because you are giving up something you don't think you need just so you can have the thing you desire. Whether it be for fame, fortune, or love, giving up something is never good.]]> 2017-03-17 14:48:51 UTC https://padlet.com/tmyres/qa5trwye8j8v/wish/160815137 https://padlet.com/tmyres/qa5trwye8j8v/wish/160883106 To me the devil is a lamo head.

Aunt Sally. He also smells like yukky poo poo]]> 2017-03-17 19:22:45 UTC https://padlet.com/tmyres/qa5trwye8j8v/wish/160883106
