Evil personified appears at first sight repulsive. But the more we study the personality of the Devil, the more fascinating it becomes. In the beginning of existence the Evil One is the embodiment of everything unpleasant, then of everything bad, evil, and immoral. He is hatred, destruction, and annihilation incarnate, and as such he is the adversary of existence, of the Creator, of God. The Devil is the rebel of the cosmos, the independent in the empire of a tyrant, the opposition to uniformity, the dissonance in universal harmony, the exception to the rule, the particular in the universal, the unforeseen chance that breaks the law; he is the individualising tendency, the craving for originality, which bodily upsets the ordinances of God that enforce a definite kind of conduct; he overturns the monotony that would permeate the cosmic spheres if every atom in unconscious righteousness and with pious obedience slavishly followed a generally prescribed course.

The devil exists because people need someone to put the blame on when they screw up.
Raped a pretty chick? No problem, devil tempted you to do it.
Murdered somebody? Don't worry, you blacked out and the devil took over your body.

I don't think so. Will the devil be the one to go to prison or suffer the consequences? Put yourself on a rapist's shoes and think what will be the reaction of the people around you if you give that kind of reasoning? Won't people laugh at you?
