Yeah, I think a lot of people take the Bible too literally. It would seem to me that if there is no Devil, it would make it easier for man to contend with evil, and such.

That way we're not fighting against some demonic entity, we're just fighting against ourselves, and our own desires, which should allow us to look in ourselves, as opposed to pointing fingers and exclaiming "The Devil made me do it", lol!

(Something all too common among the religious folk)

In essence, when you credit the Devil for creating/causing Evil, you give him power over self, which can be quite foolish, if you ask me.

Much Love,
