Does your post involve that if you believe
in Satan, you must believe in Jesus, Angels and God?

I was curious as well. Haven't been able to figure it out yet. I'll keep trying. And you are right. Scapegoating is typically found amongst those with closed minds.

Forgot to add this! You raise a very good point here. People often attempt to shirk responsibility of their actions by blaming a system that leaves them no choice ("the devil made me do it" comes to mind when I read this post). Scapegoating is pretty common among the closed-minded.

I wonder how "im" modifies "malak," in malakim, if at all? just curious, I'm kind of a language geek.

I don't know much about satan, sannhet
And I don't believe very much of what I've heard either. He often seems to be a convenient excuse for people to not recognize what is lacking in their own hearts.
