Christians, sheep, led by the blind, will believe anything, conformists, group think, sensationalists, driven largely by over emotions and lack of proof. If christians feel a tingly emotional feeling, "...that's god talking to me...."
Here's a great idea! Lets ignore reality and create a mythical devil whom we use as a scapegoat for our own evil. We don't wish to own our evil, we'd rather pass the buck.
