I am not saying that Satan is responsible for all evil, Lance.  In the past, I have been guilty of much evil using my own talents. Had the Lord not saved me, I would have had to pay for those evils.  Satan would not have been guilty, I would, and the punishment I received I would have deserved.  Still, Satan is alive and well and has a boatload of demons acting in his behalf.  It is my belief that when a great lie is told and millions believe it, it is not the lie of a man, but of the father of lies,, working through a willing servant. This is not carved in stone, but give the devil his due. Terry Lance Muir wrote: To Terry:I believe it to be important that we not make 'Satan' responsible for everything. It may be 'reasonable' but not necessary I'm not as sure as others who post on this. ================================================================= It seems very reasonable to assume that Satan is behind the scenes in both religions, Lance. He is the enemy of God, so he wants to lead people away from a relationship with God.  He is a deceiver.  That is his role in this plan of which we are all a part..  He is a liar and the father of lies.  He, having thousands of years of experience and a more evil mind than any man, is able to come up with much more believable lies than men can invent.  To assume that Mohammed or Joe Smith were not his willing vessels would be to vastly underestimate his influence.  Never underestimate your enemy.
