Engaging Gospel Doctrine 
RE: “I would rather throw scripture under the bus than God.” Right! The Bible is NOT God. And, by the way, the Church is NOT God.

???!! It appears that the reality of Satan is being discounted in this discussion; his person, presence, method/exploitation, and objective. I have four pages of single-spaced notes and (mainly) direct Bible quotations regarding the nature of Satan.
I do not see, nor have I observed, “The devil made me do it” attitude prevalent among any individual practicing Christians, including LDS Christians, or Christian organization.
Satan is an ever-present opportunist, who neither creates anything nor gives anything of value, whose “power”/influence is null and void to anyone who makes conscious decisions to pursue a life of enjoyment of the immense pleasures of virtue.
