I'm going to try to show what I believe the devil to be.
Evil things inside my head that hold me from evolving my spirit... things that make my life static in thought or deed. Worry and fear, egotistical nonesense that can build upon itself till it ruins me and pulls me into darkness... into hell, shelob, depression... etc.
These sorts of things are Satan, the Devil, Lucifer.
Not some fiery beast that will crawl up from the abyss to throw me to eternal damnation if I don't repent.
However!!!! These sorts of things make sense to me... these sorts of words. Because althought the imagery is much different on a literal sense they essentially say the same thing to me. One is a more metaphorical analysis and one is a more psychological one.
The ever present Love of our Holy God is change. Forgetting and forgiving... second chances and moving on. The ebb and flow and the objective experiences that bind us. When my world becomes exceedingly subjective I loose touch with the Lord.
As a post script note. My personal belief, to clear this up ^, is that we all live in subjective realities (obviously that can't be denied... we take everything our own way) however we are all united by the world, Gaia, the world Spirit, God almighty, Yakway (< thats definitly spelled wrong). This uniting thing, the universe and all in it, is the single (monotheism) objective reality.
