In the 1970s, the comedian Flip Wilson popularized the term, âThe devil made me do it.â In the context of the times most Americans viewed his shtick as funnier than hell. He made us laugh, and many of us adopted the term for our own use. And we laughed. We laughed and didnât think much more about it.
In 2021, when only about 1/3 of Americans profess to be Christian, this meme is no longer funny; it is downright scary. The evil of the devil has thoroughly infected American culture to a point where Judeo-Christian values are held in low regard by too many American citizens. It appears that with the government of Canada now at war with Christianity, this phenomena isnât confined to America.
