Why is it easier to blame “The Devil”

[blitzdr]

than the twisted human mind that conceives of evil?

[Iowabass3826]

Certainly a theological discussion that could go on for great lengths. But in short-

The sinfulness of our flesh came to be through the whisper of a serpent- the father of lies- The devil.

Man has had to live with the sinfulness, disease, and death ever since.…

Cause Ms Jones was not like that before.

[bdog7198]

because its easier to blame a made up being then face the fallacies of human nature. not all people are good

[DewRonInc]

I can say some of the actions and ideas today could easily lead u to that fact that satan is cause

[billnorman1]

What gets me is the insanity defense.
Pushed a woman onto the subway tracks. Insanity
Beat an Asian with a baseball bat. Insanity
Shot up a subway car full of people. Insanity
These people get off because of insanity. In all these cases and a lot more it just seems like we need much more Clorox in the gene pool. They are fricking evil!

Because when you are a kid and get in trouble, you look at your mom with a tear in your eye and say, "The devil made me do it." and the punishment is less severe.

Mostly because many humans have evil in their hearts and minds for many reasons that could be discussed at length until this thread gets locked.

Very debatable.

See! I get exactly what You are trying to say or get across. I guess they can put me in the unusual category also. Yin has Yang

It's easier to blame or credit a mystical being rather than understanding the reasoning of why something happens. Throughout human history as we became more knowledgeable about anything and everything, fewer and fewer things are accredited to religious beings.

I don’t think people really want to know. Look at the pseudosciences of psychology, psychiatry, phrenology and criminal profiling.
