Once I heard an old man say:
"Come Satan, let me mingle with those you are about to tempt and show me the secret of your success."
Are there more sinners or more pious men in the world?

Think of it as a mountain. God's side is an uphill, struggle the whole way in order to reach the pinnacle. Satan's side of the mountain is like the downward slope with no resistance and a bit like riding on a child's slide.It's fun going down it until you hit the bottom and smack your face on the ground.

According to Christians, EVERYONE is a sinner, no matter how pious. The Christian religion tells you that no matter what you do, you are a sinner, and that they are the only ones that can show you how to stop. Satan is the church's best friend - He has kept them in business for all of these years.

If this statement wasn't so articulate, I might have assumed it was uttered by George W. Bush. Ha!

It's our fallen nature. Once Adam sinned that made it easier to get a foothold into us mere humans. That is why Jesus had to come and die for us. There are much more "worldly" people than truely "christian" ones

Satan gives us gifts now. With God, we have to wait until we die.
Definitely more sinners, from a Christian perspective.

You must have been watching one of those bad horror movies from the seventies. No one talks that way today.
