I think the devil tries to wear you down through sheer repetition. Look at the current sins being pushed. And the worldly "trends."A few people talk about it, before you know it ,you're being drowned in thousands of people doing it, like smoking pot.More and more states are legalizing it.The gays, male gays have been around, but lately I see more women saying they "experimented" with other women,after all, it's "modern" times.Belief in the occult, there was always a handful of people into it, now of the people I know, they're falling for it in droves.Besides numbers, I think repeating the same wrong belief over and over is how the devil tries to break your resistance down.Like, one of my aunts always knocked Christianity every chance she got..And was hostile towards it. Now, she's taken in by these ideas about we came from outer space, and instead of angels they were space aliens.But in bearing with my theory,she repeats it over and over continually, like drilling it into your brain. Not to mention "deception tv", a show like "ghost whisperer" where the lady talks to the departeds spirits{demons} with terminology like,they have to enter "the light", and "cross over" and mentions "ghosts" 20 million times.Again, repetition.This is the same tactic hypnotists use,telling someone, "You're a dog" 20 times in a row, until the person gets down and starts barking. Looks like the devil hypnotizes, or brainwashes, people with these tactics. It's almost like sin is contagious, one sees others in the family, friends, do it, and they copy each other. Satan doesn't get 1 person at a time, he tries to rope in whole groups with certain sins. Don't you think?
