why is the devil always the cause of bad things in the world? i can't tell you how many times i've heard, "its the devil." i honestly believe that ''god'' is the idea people of faith prescribe to favorable circumstance, and the ''devil'' is the idea prescribed to unfavorable circumstance. nothing more, nothing less. it's almost as if its in our nature to make excuses and not accept responsibility for our actions, good or bad. do people not realize how absurd this sounds?

The religious type HAVE to have someone to blame, otherwise their god wouldn't be perfect, as they so love to claim he / she / it is.
Furthermore, it is another scare tactic used to reinforce the idea of religion. If they're scared, they will come to us and ask for forgiveness, and we will have complete control.
Pretty simple really.
Whoever wrote the bible would be, in todays world, the best psychologist to have ever lived.

yes, people do that, and yes it's wrong. If you learn about faith, you would know that you should praise God in every circumstance, even in bad times. Satan should not be used as an excuse. The problem is, many people don't know this. It makes me sad to see people using religion as an xcuse. God uses good AND bad things to mould and form you. and most of the time, bad situations can be your own fault. Don't give Satan more credit than he diserves. Trust God to keep you on the right path. In the end, all will work out for good. this is what the bible says.

I take great pleasure to hit hard on people like you. It gives me opportunity to show the world of your foolishness. To magnify your sinnful nature and to wards God Almighty. To expose your family teaching of religion that they have failed to instill you of being God fearing. To expose a person who persecute religious people. A man of no respect of people choice. A man who feels or think he is strong or in a strong company or force. Just to name a few. Look at your question, it is all contradicting. I believe now you will say the devil ask you to do it. I do not know from your question whether you are saying the Christian say the above subject. Your people say it or is it us Christian. You cannot even make us look silly but only a silly to yourself. Don't you have friends in this site. Look how stupid you make yourself. I am not surprise you will call me a F****** Mother F****r. when you are one. Have some respect for your Mother and Father. It is not easy to raise a child and to see it turn out like you, it is most dissapointing.

no devil is there, it is nothing but ones own imagination. if any thing good we will think god is there if not the devil, dirty devil did.it. it is nothing but natural every body thinks like that . without thinking like that we have to proceed what ever we want to do good.leaving the result aside.

"The devil made me do it" doesn't work in court.
People want to avoid taking responsibility for their own actions.

I do. Without God there is no Devil. Neither of them intervene in our lives. We were given the gift of choice. If you do right then you are on God's side; if you chose evil then you will surely reap that unfortunate reward.

The whole priniciple behind christianity is that you don't have to be responsible for your actions. "Say your sorry, all is forgiven"........
