It seems, however, that you are desperate to be 100% right at any cost, since you erroneously deny the power of choice in all events.
Why erroneously? Do you know how the brain works and how/whether choices are made? I even said in my previous post that I don't claim to have the answer because we don't know how things really work. I'm just offering my view that I don't think our will is as free as we'd like to think it is.
Anyway, if I took your comment on "the devil made me do it" the wrong way then that's my mistake.
I presume that this is because the average Dutch speaker has not come to grips with English's intricacies AKA language barrier. It is a common mistake for people with English as second language to make.
Isn't English your second language too? Mexicans speak Spanish right? We can all make language mistakes
since most religions believing in Satan (in the Shaitan AKA "adversary" sense of the name) don't believe he is capable of forcing the average Joe Blow to do anything.
That is not my experience. To the contrary, religious people are reminded time and time again to resist the temptations of Satan. Even doubting whether your religion is right or not is seen as an act of the devil to tempt you. If you believe that God can do miracles in the world then the other side of the coin is that Satan can tempt people too. Isn't that the common explanation for why the world is in big trouble these days? You know, the devil trying to make people sin even more?
