Good point, but not everyone believes in a literal "Satan" Some say mankind is satan, some say the church, others say differnt things. The point is that no one knows for sure, and there is much debate over the subject.

The Bible actually states that God creates evil. I think it's somewhere in Isaiah. (Isaiah 45:7) Evil is from the hebrew word "Ra" which means many things, but most assume it means calamity in the passage I'm talking about.

As for me, I have no opinion on Satan, only that I don't believe he bends my will to do his bidding. I'm in control of what I do, just as everyone else is. The Devil has no power over me, you, her, him, as he is not an Evil entity set to destroy all good, imo.

I think the Bible suggests that Satan is simply an accuser, but I'm not cetain on that point.

So yes, lets wait and see, as its not very beneficial to bicker about things like this, lol! If you want to believe that satan makes you do what you do, then so be it. If you want to take responsibility for your own actions, then great, but I see no point in blaming God [who might not exist at all] for the evil in the world...

Sometime, mankind will have to take responsibity. If not, I'm afraid our state of affairs will end in extinction.
