Human: Does the devil exist?

Assistant: I don’t think there’s evidence for the existence of a particular individual “devil” who has a specific form and does a specific thing.  But the idea of something like a devil does have cultural currency, so it may be more accurate to say that the devil concept or the word “devil” does exist, but doesn’t have an existence in the way that other entities do.
