profound statement something i struggle with all the time.
PS. IMHO You should take out 'that' at the end of the last line or beginning of second....
That's interesting. I wonder why the devil would be 'something' rather than 'someone'. I suppose it depends on the concept of God too. The fact that evil exists is a problem for the monotheistc religions, since they insist God is good and all powerful. It follows from this that god has a responsibility for evil. For me one of the major character flaws of Jesus (and there are many) was his conviction that the devil and hell were real. We'll those three lines made me go on a bit!

I have no trouble with the concept that the devil is something very real - you only have to watch the news to realise that this is so, with child killers an almost daily occurrence :-(
