The entity that is used as a handy excuse and thus gets the blame for.... whatever.
"The devil made me do it." All over the Bible Belt there are people telling themselves that today. "The devil got me in a moment of weakness 'cause he's roaming around wanting to snatch up souls." Umm... no. Y'all chose to plunk down your money because you wanted to see a movie with sex and nudity. Just like the heathen sitting next to you at the 2:10 showing of "50 Shades of Grey" at the Cineplex. Tomorrow y'all can pretend you didn't see anyone you knew from church in the theater and they can pretend they didn't see you.
You know Freak, I admire your responses every now and then. I would say Charles Darwin, Nietzche, Freud and Marx. Nietzche lead to Nazism and world War II, nothing more evil then that. Freud created Cocaine and lead to ideas embracing immorality that lead to a lot of pain and suffering, nothing more evil than that. Marx created Communism which lead to a lot of tyranny in the world which is probably even worse than Hitler. Darwin stole an idea that was around for a long time but never given popular thought, sensationalized it, and created the whole industry of pseudo-science which has lead to a lot of misguidance. That's not to say I don't believe in Evolution but not necessarily Dawrinian Evolution.
Essentially what is adversarial to man is what stems from man's primal nature unchecked by a higher spiritual guidance. It is Satanic to reduce man to an animal without any distinction and train him to behave that way and even embrace. Sort of like the statement, "money, power, sex," that you hear in some popular music. What you are really saying is, "dominate resources, use resources to control other people's behavior, and finaly take that control and dominate the other sex," much like a Lion in the forest. The sadness of the primal is that it does not lead to happiness but increased anxiety and torment over fulfilling the need.

You are very wrong in regards to Darwin stealing someone else idea. If so why did he sit on it for over 2 decades? Did Wallace also steal it? Who had the idea of natural selection prior to Darwin and Wallace? He never sensationalized it, he was a shy person who was concerned on the affect it would have on his wife.
It is not uncommon for certain Christians to demonized Darwin for religious purposes, guess the 9th Commandment is not too important to folks here.
