You hit the nail on the head. There are some people who are simply evil right to the core. They are Satan's "children" just as Christians are God's children.
"Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right." Proverbs 20:11

No I think we miss a lot of things he should get credit for simply because he is very subtle. And choices you make are made because there are 2 ways you can go on any activity. If you make a wrong choice then I would say Satan probably high fived one of his minions for making something look better to you than what you knew was right. He is cunning and can make things appear to be right when they are in fact not. You must be ever vigilant.

No. I found too many people blame God. We have free will. Doing bad is much easier then doing the next right thing accoridng to some people. But I digress, yes, the devil does cause a lot of trouble.

Absolutely, to be frank I find the idea of a personified Devil to be blasphemous. Nothing is equal to God. If you research the word satan you will find that it simply means adversity, even though it is mistranslated as "the adversary." So, in a nutshell the only Devil is out own foolishness. And the only hell is feeling like your separated from God.

I'd say yes, since satan doesn't exist. In fact, the very word satan is traceable through many cultures and is related to another God who, upon the spread of christianity, got converted into a devil. Pretty interesting stuff to learn about, but pretty stupid stuff to try to live by. Since what we 'know' today are lies about our 'sacred' texts and how they evolved.

People like to think there is some mysterious power controlling their everyday lives, whether it be good/bad,,,we all make our own decisions,,,then they give credit for the out come to something they have never seen,,,shows how closed minded the human race is,since 90% of the world believes in fairy tales.

The choices we make are either one of two ways. Good or bad. The bad choices we make is because Satan manipulated us. He decieved us. Just like HE manipulated Eve ... and then Adam. Gen 3:3(Eve speaking to the serpent) "It's only the fruit from the tree at the center of the garden that we are not allowed to eat. God says we must not eat it or even touch it ,or we will die."
4 "You won't die!" the serent hissed. 5 God knows that your eyes will be opened when you eat it. you will become just like God,knowing everything, both good and evil!"

Yes, the Devil gets credit for a lot of our own failures. He is happy to have it though.

Yes, we control our own destiny. Everything you do leads down a path. Choose what is good and it should lead to a positive outcome. Choose what is bad and it will lead to a series of bad outcomes. Put out positive energy get positive results for life.
