Stanford, Dr. Amitakh. The Personal Devil. Last Modified July 2, 2010. Last Accessed June 19, 2013. < http://www.wepapers.com/Papers/111677/The_Personal_Devil >.
Description: The Personal Devil has been revised and a new chapter has been added. The earlier chapters primarily discuss the traditional views regarding the origin, nature, development, and perception of the Devil (Satan). In Chapter 17, "Why Darkness Created the Devil", I take a radical stand, different from the traditional views, and discuss why the Force known as Darkness (Principle of Evil/Darkness) created the power known loosely as the Devil and infested the Earth with it. The "Conclusion" has been revised and expanded to address the viability of the Devil, among other things. The following are selected excerpts from the book: The phenomenon of the existence of evil in the world encourages people to give that phenomenon a name or a label for ease of identification. Some of the names that have been assigned to this entity are: the Devil, Satan, Kui etc. These are all personal names of the Devil. Those who hunger for mystical power often welcome the Devil and worship it. Those who abhor evil can point to the Devil for the bad things in the world, thus excusing God for the evil.
