However, all to often "the devil made me do it" is the modern mindset - a person is that way because fate made them that way. It's a crutch and it leads to psychological atrophy.
Did you read the article that I linked earlier in this discussion? It's very long but it discusses very well the view that free will (if it exists) has very little room to operate in. I don't think the devil or a demon makes someone do it, that's the traditional religious view that people are evil and out of control. That's an outdated view.
However I do think that a person is that way because their past (not necessarily 'fate') made them that way. Someone's past is reflected in everything they do: the way they walk, look, talk, and act is influenced by their past. You may say that any person has free will to act differently at any point in time but I don't think that's true.
Read the biographies of serial killers, people in prisons or violent gangs and you'll see that someone's past and environment is a better predictor of what that person is going to do than the idea that people will break free by choice.
