This is a subject matter a friend brought up to me last night over dinner. I have some great and wonderful friends with in the faith that like to bring up difficult subjects. They aren’t afraid to or worry about being hated for it. Over dinner last night with a few friends, one brought up the thought that man is more of a threat to man is than the devil. This was just a thought based on examples and was not an argument seeking factual foundation.

They gave examples like the creation of the ‘Web’ by man and all the issues and problems it has caused. Like the evolving media ( TV ) as it becomes more morally corrupts and idiotic. Politics and politicians which is self explanatory of the evil in those. Retailers creation and over use of ‘Black Friday’ early scheduling and customers insane grab it reactions. Other issues where used as an example of what might be a bases for the thought of man being more of a threat than the devil, but all seem to had some valid creditability in facts that makes one stop and think about this thought.

Is man more of a threat to man ( people more of a threat to people ) than the devil in our current age?

*** And to avoid any incorrect thoughts. My friends and I were not drinking or under any medications. We aren’t that way. We just get into some deep conversations and don’t fear talking about difficult subjects.
