    Yes, look around how could a person not believe in Satan and his demons.

    Here is two paragraphs from the Book" What does the Bible really teach". under the chapter "Why does God allow suffering"

    The Bible clearly states: “The whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one.” (1 John 5:19) When you think about it, does that not make sense? This world reflects the personality of the invisible spirit creature who is “misleading the entire inhabited earth.” (Revelation 12:9) Satan is hateful, deceptive, and cruel. So the world, under his influence, is full of hatred, deceit, and cruelty. That is one reason why there is so much suffering.

    A second reason why there is so much suffering is that, as discussed in Chapter 3, mankind has been imperfect and sinful ever since the rebellion in the garden of Eden. Sinful humans tend to struggle for dominance, and this results in wars, oppression, and suffering. (Ecclesiastes 4:1; 8:9)

    A third reason for suffering is “time and unforeseen occurrence.” (Ecclesiastes 9:11) In a world without Jehovah as a protective Ruler, people may suffer because they happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

    Oh, yes. There's tons of evidence in favor of God. And I can prove it with personal experience:

    I prayed to win the lottery, but my ticket was no good. Next I prayed for a Ferrari, but I didn't get one. But then I decided to pray for the sun to come up the next morning, and guess what? It happened!

    Notice that all evil things can as a result of sin. And as time goes on, sin grows, and things get worse.

    "Yet even amid the suffering that results from sin, God’s love is

    revealed. It is written that God cursed the ground for man’s

    sake (Genesis 3:17). The thorn and the thistle—the difficulties

    and trials that make his life one of toil and care—were

    appointed for his good as a part of the training needful in

    God’s plan for his uplifting from the ruin and degradation

    that sin has wrought. The world, though fallen, is not all

    sorrow and misery. In nature itself are messages of hope and

    comfort. There are flowers upon the thistles, and the thorns

    are covered with roses.

    Written in Nature

    “God is love” is written upon every opening bud, upon

    every spire of springing grass. The lovely birds making the

    air vocal with their happy songs, the delicately tinted flowers

    in their perfection perfuming the air, the lofty trees of the

    forest with their rich foliage of living green—all testify to

    the tender, fatherly care of our God and to His desire to make

    His children happy." - Steps to Christ, page 9.

    ♫ Each little snake that poisons,

    Each little wasp that stings,

    He made their brutish venom.

    He made their horrid wings.

    ♫ All things sick and cancerous,

    All evil great and small,

    All things foul and dangerous,

    The Lord God made them all.
