The world allures us.
Flesh betrays us. But neither worldly attraction nor physical desire require an active intelligence operating behind the scenes. I tend to think Christians
who blame Satan and his scheming agents for every bad choice they have made are
probably ascribing to the powers of darkness a greater level of interest in their
personal affairs than is really the case. In our fallen world, it is likely that
most of our failures are a combination of our own inclination to self-destruct and the detritus of lives that have done so already.
But not always.
