The Devil Comes to Television by Jonathan Falwell
French poet Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867) wrote, “The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he doesn’t exist.” If that’s true, I think maybe the second greatest trick Satan ever pulled was convincing the world that he is simply a joke.
I fear that many people in our nation believe Satan to be either a hoax or to not exist at all. But the Bible describes Satan as our “adversary” who is as “a roaring lion” who walks about “seeking whom he may devour” (I Peter 5:8).
This hardly casts him as a source for laughs.
However, that is the new image of Satan we are often seeing.
