The devil lives in the fourth spatial dimension.

A triangle is the simplest possible polygon.

Draw a triangle.  Now put a point somewhere outside the triangle but close to it.  Draw a line connecting the point to each vertex of the triangle.

You now have a two-dimensional representation of the simplest possible polyhedron, the tetrahedron.  Two-dimensionally, with the sides transparent, it looks like a quadrilateral with an "X" through it.

Now follow this logic to make a two-dimensional representation of the simplest possible hyper-polyhedron, which I'm not sure if has a name but I'll call it a hyperpentahedron.  It has five three-dimensional sides, just as a tetrahedron has four two-dimensional sides and a triangle has three one-dimensional sides.  Put a point outside the tetrahedron but somewhere close to it.  Draw a line connecting the point to each vertex of the tetrahedron.

OMG, it's a pentagram!

There you have it, mathematical proof that the fourth spatial dimension is evil and the devil resides there.

Doesn't always work, but I did this, and it was pretty awesome.
Here's an explanation for ya. Lurk moar. Every single point you brought up has been posted, reposted, debated and debunked. There is a search function on this forum, and it is very easy to use.

We need a philosophy section and a religion/complete nonsense section.
If I was asked to imagine a perfect deity, I would never invent one that suffers from a multiple personality disorder. Christians get points for originality there.

I just proved the existence of the devil mathematically and you call it nonsense?  I'm offended.  :(

That's just a 'shadow' of the true shape, if you rotate it then it looks utterly different in 2d.

Fail.

So it becomes evil when it comes down into the second dimension?

But you can sure make the old bastard work for it.

No, silly.  The 2-D representation is simply God's way of telling us to avoid the fourth dimension because the devil is there.  He has to bring the representation down to two dimensions to show us that because we can't observe the fourth dimension, which God probably did to shield us from the devil.

I liked this.
"Once again the apostles of science are found to lack the scientific credentials for their faith. This not an indictment of science; it only shows again that the choice of science over other forms of life is not a scientific choice."

So drawing the fourth dimension is evil from certain angles?

All you did was prove that it is possible to draw a pentagram.
