No, I'm a Christian and I beleive there is evil out there and a satan, but ultimately we have to be responsible for our own choices. It is dangerous to blame what you do on the devil or any person for that matter. I think most of the time when people say, "the devil made me do it", it is just a figure of speech. Some of the people who say that may not even really believe there is a devil.
We all get tempted to do things we know are wrong, but that doesn't mean we have to do it.

I don't really believe that there was a Devil making me do things. It was all me, but it does feel really good to blame the Devil for things that I did and shouldn't have. (^_^)

We are tempted by the devil, but we have a choice as to whether or not we yield to the temptations.
God has made a way out for us - the bible says

No we try and use the devil as an escape goat. He may tempt us but its up to us if we give into what he tempts us with. The devil cant make you do anything.

There is no "Devil".Only mankind can conceive evil and only mankind can do evil.The "Devil" is just a metaphor that has been taken far to literally and the only "Devil" that truly exists is the "Devil's" of mankind.

The devil may convince you to do something, but in the end, it is you who does it and is responsible for your actions.

No.I made me do it,I enjoyed doing it and only regretted it when I had to deal with the cosequenses.Even then sometimes I did it again because I wanted to.No one ever really makes me do anything.That would just be an excuse not to face up to it.
