Why blame Satan?

[LimeIzMyFaveColor]

I am forced to go to church (I may have mentioned that before) ...
anyway it seems like the Christians always blame Satan for the bad things and that people are tempted by the devil to do bad things.

Why?!
And why thank God for everything good?

Sometimes I get ticked off when the bell rings and people would say: "Thank God ... we're saved by the bell." (or something like that)

I mean really?!

Oh and about Satan?
(i'm not saying he's real) but I mean what if Satan changed his heart?
Don't people and fallen angels change?

Its funny when you say that Satan (My dark lord and master) tempts people to do bad things I remember when god told some guy to go kill his son and burn the body.

Actually, angels don't have free will according to the Bible. So either God orchestrated the fall of Lucifer and thus the creation of Satan, or He really ******** up and refuses to admit he made a mistake. Either way...

In fact, I have a friend who still believes in the Bible and Christianity, but he refuses to worship God for exactly this reason. He fully accepts that he's going to Hell when he dies, too.

Now that's someone I can respect.
Usually when people realize this though, they tend to lean more towards deism o.O If your friend is like that, maybe you can try convincing him that the Bible and Christianity are merely works of ignorant people from an ignorant era and that there is not sufficient evidence to support the Bible's claims.
