When are we going to stop removing from humans their responsibility for their own words, actions, attitudes, and beliefs? When are we going to stop placing the blame anywhere except in the wickedness of our own nature?

Notice anyone missing here, Chan?

The devil doesn't make us do anything, but he sure likes to help us along the pathway to poor decisions, Bubba.

Now you're starting to get it! It's about time!

Yes, Satan roams like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour but he doesn't force us to do anything.

You are so frustrating. You would argue with a fence post!

Of course, the fence post would win.
