That's an interesting explanation, but I thought the word 'devil' came from the Greek word 'diabolos' (via the Anglo-Saxon word 'deofol'), which means 'the one who throws across' or 'who opposes' God.

If God is the source of love and truth, then, I suppose, it could be said that we are all the devil at times, as we seem to have a habit of throwing up obstacles to block the flow of source energy.
