How many people know what the "Devil" really is?

Update:

... something wrong then, (when there can't be, because things are just as they are at the moment). That's the same answer I got, so everyone seems to be right and agree with me. That's unusual. That's never happened before on such a scale as this.

Update 4:

Oh it's accidentally gone in twice or more. Must have been a glitch in the system, or maybe the system knows best or something.

Update 5:

Just step this way a minute. You don't have to if you don't want to but you can do. Look around at all the answers. All something wrong different ways, so collectively it's all wrong. But can all come here, where it's all there and there's nothing wrong. See, anyone can do it themselves. Everything is fine. Unless everything has to be wrong. But then you'd have to do something to make it seem more wrong, and it's easier just to come here and then there isn't anything wrong. So "Devil" doesn't have to pop out of the non-existent hole in reality at all and make everything seem wrong.

    A vilified amalgamation of perfectly innocent Greek and Babylonian deities (well, as innocent as deities can be, anyway)

    Everyone knows who the "Devil" is at least one time in their lives, even if its just for a moment. It's just that some people can't exactly remember when and what form the "Devil" was in at that moment.

    "I think the greatest lie the Devil ever told the world was that he didn't exist."

    Here's a little story:

    A man walking on the path finds a piece of truth. When someone asks the Devil if he was going to stop him he simply says "No, I'm going to help him organize it."

    The Devil is in the detail

    John, I really resonate with that sentence.

    The many Devils operate in human form, so you'd have a very hard time tracking them all down.

    The "Devil" Is not a physical being. The devil is everything that forces humanity to be self destructive, every emotion which causes harm and every corrupted thought.

    Very, very few. Especially when you consider that the Devil didn't exist in the Old Testament, and only came into the Bible when the Church added him.

    I do. He's a literary figure used to instill fear either to keep "followers" in line or to convert others.
