“My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?”
originally posted by: muzzleflash
The concept of personal responsibility leads me to view the Devil as just an accuser or prosecutor.
I'm convinced we tempt ourselves, and we humans are the liars and killers and thieves.
In fact I don't think the Devil is thought to have actually killed a single person or stole a thing.
What if you were responsible for your own actions and couldn't keep blaming the Devil? Is that so hard to accept?
How can God forgive you for your Sin if you keep denying responsibility and saying it was the Devil's machinations and agenda?
Care to address this?

Hello Crunky.
A very interesting piece and well written. Perhaps better in a conspiracy or NWO forum, but since I belonged to this forum, glad I got a chance to read your piece.
My only consideration is this: Since you brought in the religious angle, IF God did in fact create ALL of this, then is he/she/it not responsible for ALL of it. God therefore is aware of evil, since he created it. Going with that potentially, then, today WE need to say where the hell is HE. Darkness is simply the absence of light. Where has the light gone.
You may remember these famous words:
“My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?”
There is no doubt that EVIL exists, it always has. Odds are that it always will.
Peace
