When each one of us reaches that Sunday School going age, we are taught of an attempted coup d'etat in Heaven. Apparently there is this archangel of God who has the perception that God is not running the government of Heaven in the right manner. So this archangel gathers some of his cronies and they stage a coup d'etat that fails miserably, I mean he really did not have a chance in Hell. Personally, I do not understand how he thought he could go against God and win. Guess that's just but the extent of the devil's audacity. Eventually he is cast down to hell where he becomes Satan or indeed the Devil. I know most of you do not know this but before he was cast down he was known as Lucifer (Light Bearer) and was God's brightest angel. Guess that explains why he was very audacious in his coup d'etat.
Anyway, we are taught to hate and despise him with all fibers of our being, thus we grow up knowing that he is the epitome of evil. Now some of us tend to take this very very very very very seriously and begin to blame every little thing that does not go their way on the devil.
Most of you will be surprised to know that I disagree. I am of the perception that people tend to blame the devil too much and thus the title of this blog. Am here to show how people are heartless blaming him for everything that is blatantly not his fault but their own. I think that people are afraid to take responsibility for their actions. Using Satan as a scape goat is very easy, I mean what better scape goat is there than him. He will not come to complain to you, you will not be put under pressure to explain how he did it and most of all people tend not to ask questions when you cite the devil. I usually imagine him going to complain to God how people keep blaming him. It is heartless. How would you feel if everyone blamed you every time?
Come on, explain to me how being broke becomes Satan's fault. Satan did not make you broke, you did and Satan does not keep you broke, you do. The devil will not get up and go hustle for you so that you will get money. You have to get up yourself. Or when you drink and drive and get into an accident; Satan did not put money in your pocket, nor did he call on the waiter and order drinks, or turn the ignition key and definitely he did not ignore all the campaigns against drink driving. And most of all there is no excuse for a cheating spouse, so keep Satan out of it.
So, do not get me wrong, am not a Devil worshiper or one of his demons or indeed possessed by him, in fact I read the Bible and pray to God; The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit and am not trying to absolve him of blame(well.....actually I am). People need to take responsibility for all their actions. The devil is an opportunist, he will tend to take advantage of a situation, so if you give him that opportunity to influence you he is not at fault, you are because you gave him the opening. Leave him out of your problems, people!!
DO NOT BE HEARTLESS,PLEASE MIND SATAN'S FEELINGS!!!
