Best Answer

The Devil, or Satan is a mythical being created by the early Christian Church to symbolize the opposers or enemies of the Church. If a group, individual, or country opposed them, then they were with the enemy of the Church, or in league with Satan. This gave the Church license to murder millions of people who failed to accept Jesus, God, and Church. The Holy Roman Empire ruled Europe and parts of Asia with an iron fist for nearly 1500 years.
