honestly... i don't think people willingly let the devil put them through anything. People talk about religion based on what they see from hypocrits professing to be religious. That book takes time and effort to understand. and of course there are anomalies like hurricanes that kills believers and nonbelievers that make it hard to understand... if there's a God, then I doubt its his doing. That would make God and the Devil the same person. I'm talking new testament times, not old testament times.
