No.

Evil is the consequence of having free will.

In otherwords, evil exists because we are free to choose it.

They say Satan has subtle influence on man's free will and actions. Do you believe this is true?
I personally believe that evil spirits tempt us to do things that are not in our best interest through out our lives, yes.

Quote:
How come everything that doesn't agree with Christianity's views considered satanic or influenced by the devil? Is this logical?
Could you be more specific? Because I don't see this statement as being true.

Quote:
Why can't people take responsibility for their actions?
Was this rhetorical?
