The Devil is NOT in Hell. According to the Christian belief in the Book of Revelations the Devil will be thrown into the lake of fire.
Satan isn't directly doing nefarious deeds like a comic book super-villain, but rather working indirectly through people by temptation to sin and go against the Word of God.
He was originally the most beautiful angel of all-time, but he became proud and wanted to become greater than God himself. When that didn't happen Satan left Heaven and was accompanied by others (demons).
He's the Father of Lies, Lucifer, Morning Star, the Fallen Angel. He's not the pitchfork-carrying, goatee, red-faced trope that society has created him to be. He appears throughout the Bible working through the people as I've said already.
12 years of Catholic School. *Fweet* Congratulations, here's your medal. You can also stand in a garage for 12 years, but that doesn't mean your an expert on the automotive industry. You constantly attack the Christian faith and insult the the faith of it's believers, so what astounding notion that you've conceived in your mind that saying you've had 12 years of Catholic school gives you any sound foundational argument that you can talk about the concept of the Devil?
On a side note Bob, how can you say it's not M. Night's fault because he only produced it when you've condemned Michael Bay for the Friday the 13th remake, which he produced? No exceptions, Bob, M. Night has dug his own grave with terrible movie after terrible movie. The Village, Lady in the Water, The Happening, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and now Devil. If your gonna hang one producer/director and not another then your showing unprofessional behavior in your line of work. You are showing favoritism and as a movie critic you can not keep ignoring the fact that M.Night has failed to live up to any of the talent he displayed in his earlier works like The Six Sense, Signs, and Unbreakable.
Film looked promising because it was going back to the suspenseful horror that made M.Night famous in the beginning. But do you know what happened? M.Night fell off his high horse, hit his head and is right now unconscious where he dreams he is a man who thinks his scripts are his blessed gifts to the ignorant world. When in reality, he fell and somehow got his head stuck up his @$$ and he's continued navel gazing with each failure he's directed and produced for the past several years. They're nothing more than the steaming piles of what they are so it's not us who should be on the chopping block, Bob, but M. Night himself. If you ever want to see M.Night make a comeback into cinema then he needs to wake up and realize his faults and pull his big head out of his @$$. If he can, great because I want to see a good M.Night movie again. Remember that brilliant twist in Sixth Sense? What about the creepy atmosphere of Signs? Where's that M.Night? The public WANTS to see M.Night succeed again, but it's not us who can make the film better, but the producer/director himself.
