How is this age any different than another? Since the beginning, people have sought their own desires, trampled anyone that got in their way, and blamed the devil for all their problems. How convenient!
The ills you've mentioned come from selfishness. They were invented by people who saw a way to take advantage of other people. Pinning it on Satan doesn't get anyone off the hook.
But standing in judgment of the world doesn't cut it either. You can't go pointing out all the specks in other peoples eyes when you should be anxiously looking in the mirror. We are most responsible for our own behavior, no matter what anyone else is doing. Don't blame Satan, question yourself.
Still worried about "The Da Vinci Code"? How weak is your faith that you can't even discuss how it is put together? Dan Brown told a wild story, but what exactly did it mean? Jesus had descendants? Would that make them divine? But there is only ONE God! It wouldn't make sense! Christ's "descendants" are US. We each have God in us (I hope). And the only one who can take us away from God's love is us. We, not Satan, are responsible for ourselves.
Scripture? I've always liked this one: James 2:14-17 What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister has nothing to wear and has no food for the day, and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, keep warm, and eat well," but you do not give them the necessities of the body, what good is it? So also faith of itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

First, The da Vinci Code was a piece of crap that was filled with errors not just on religion but on actual art interpretations. Secondly, you can't limit violence, sex or sodomy, prostitution, drinking and whatever other vices satan has implemented over humanity to this "age." These vices have existed before Christianity and should not be labeled as new. Violence in the media is simply a marketing tool. Divorce is right if the spouse is being beaten (the main reason it was allowed and also if the husband was impotent haha), I dont know that anyone who is sober agrees to getting married in las vegas.
Have you read Kingsolver's The Poisonwood Bible?
It's not Satan, it is human nature.

Okay!!! I agree with you on some of things you said yes violance is everywhere but it always has been. Prostitution and masturbation had been around since the dawn of the time. On the other hand I just don't agree with you about Davinci code being an attack on christians. It is fictional not factual. Bible is not factual either. It is a belief people.You can choose to believe whatever you wanna believe. If you really think what you beileve is right, other side and other opinions should not bother at all.

I do not fret over it, and I do not stop living because of these problems. I do not beleive that there is a satan anymore. God took care of that when he cast Lucifer into the pits of hell.
The movie in which you talk about is nothing but a movie. What I see in tv and in the movies I take with a grain of salt. They are there for entertainment only, and if what you see or hear offends you, then you must remove yourself from that which bothers you.
People are always blamming satan for the wrongs of the world insted of taking responsibility for their own actions.
You sound as though your life is consumed by this so called delema. To me it is no big deal. I do not worry about it nor do I care. People are bad because of their upbringing not because of Satan.
I have no favorite scripture because I take what is in the bible with a grain of salt. It has gone through many transformations and many interpritations.
Get a grip, move on. There is nothing you or anyone else can do. Live your life and quit being so offended by things.

These things aren't satan, they are human beings exercising their free will, their ability to choose. As long as we blame it on satan we will continue to think it's ok to put our heads in the sand, and not work to make the world a better place.
As for the DaVinci code, why do Christians feel attacked by a novel? All it does is raise possibilities, and even if some of those were true, what difference does it make to your faith?
Don't go through life afraid of satan. Go through life knowing that God has empowered us to work on behalf of the powerless and the victims of the hurt we inflict on one another.
My favorite verse: Micah 6:8

The devil is surely pleased with the way things are today. Satan works on our weaknesses. And many people give in so easily today. Like you said, he attacks everyone through anything possible.
Satan is very skilled at deception and his greatest work has to be the divisions of religion. He gets many people not to believe in the Bible or God. But, he knows that there are many other people that would refuse to accept that there is no God. Therefore, he works on their religious beliefs.
He tells some that there is no hell and no devil. He tells others that they need a pope over the church. He tells some others that baptism is not essential to be saved. He tells some that the Messiah has not yet come. He tells some that it’s okay to change one or two things that God has commanded in worship. He tells some to believe in the “other testament of Jesus Christ.” He tells some to go by your feelings and that one church is as good as another.
Yes, Satan is very delighted in his work and the accomplishment of his objectives.

You are so wright about everything you mention, you know when Filip asked Jesus to tell him about some signs of the end times, Jesus mentioned all those things, so don't let your heart to be trouble because our redeemer lives and he's so near for his return, so when you see these things pray more for protection. About the Davinci Code no problem it's only a novel some lost person imagination, we know the truth, be faithful and rejoice. My favorite scripture is " The angel of the Lord encamps
around those who fear him and delivers them.
Taste and see how good the Lord is;
blessed the man who takes refuge in him."

I just hate how things are in this age. I had a Satan attack just today. There was this divorced woman at a bar I go to and she was really looking good and I....... Oh NOOOOOO, there he goes again. Satan attack. Damn, I hate when that happens.
My favorite scripture is Exodus 22:18, Thou shalt not permit a witch to live."
I'm just waiting for the season to open so my NRA buddies can go bag a few withches for Christ.

Christians may look like we are down for the count but we are like "Rocky" THE MOVIE! We never lose a fight because God wins our battles! Christians are working behind the scenes to get rid of prostitution,pornography,same sex marriages,and violence etc... Prayer works! Satan can't do no harm because we are covered by the blood of Jesus. Favorite script: Heb. 11:1 "Now, Faith is substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen"

I don't think Satan acts that way. When people think of Satan they think of a beast with horns etc... According to bible, Satan is a deceiver, manipulator, a trickster, temptress....
Satan's greatest challenge is to make sure we doubt the existence of God.. not promoting divorce, sex.. etc... It is people who in their sinful nature always distorts the goodness of God's gift into their own interpretation and desires..
As for Da Vinci code.. it is just a movie.. enjoy as a movie.. do not take it seriously... Enjoy it like you would enjoy Matrix...
