I agree with Christians that there is an evil in this world, temping us and moving to towards cheap pleasure. Only the Christians call it The Devil and I call it Capitalism.

Capitalism encourages us to buy junk food and to pollute, to go to war and into debt. It temps us with advertisements around every corner, trying to encourage us to do things we might not do otherwise.

No, you must kill him, your hand must strike the first blow in putting him to death and the hands of the rest of the people following. You must stone him to death, since he has tried to divert you from Yahweh your God…

Deuteronomy 13:7-11
