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.

Flip Wilson
Live at the Village Gate the Early Show
Live at the Village Gate the Late Show
Album Type: Live (5 out of 5 stars) This was a very funny CD. It reflects Flip s brilliance as a comedian and his skillful storytelling ability. Unlike most comedians today who use profanity and insults to get cheap laughs, Flip was one of a kind. CLASS all the way! Normally, once you have heard a comedian s audio recording, you put it away. I have found myself listening to this over and over again. I only wish some of Flip Wilson s albums would become available on CD since many of us do not own turntables. You will find yourself enjoying a feel good laugh at this CD that everyone can relate to and not the uneasy laughter we are exposed to today with many of the comedians material. BUY IT!
