The evil was not in bread and circuses

The evil was not in bread and circuses, per se, but in the willingness of the people to sell their rights as free men for full bellies and the excitement of the games which would serve to distract them from the other human hungers which bread and circuses can never appease.“ — Marcus Tullius Cicero

Cicero is not right. The common people of the late Roman republic sold their rights to several warlords because they were expropriated by men like Cicero; free peasants were replaced by slaves. They had become a city mob, depending on social welfare, and that development destroyed the social base of SPQR.

Satan tricked Eve to eat the forbidden fruit of the tree of knowledge; he said it was okay tempting her to partake. Genesis Chapter 3 verses 1 thru 18….

Satan, condemned in Christianity as a fallen angel, as evil incarnate, is a more complex figure in Judaism, where he originated. Satan is the angel who is constantly carping and who causes people to transgress the will of God. He is the angel who accused Joshua, the High Priest, of misdeeds before God (Zechariah 3:1) and who instigated David to sin by taking a census of Israel (I Chronicles 21:1). In Job (1:7), Satan is introduced as the angel who has come from "going to and fro on the earth, and from walking in it. ' ' Satan diligently but unsuccessfully tried to get Job to blaspheme the Lord. Just a few examples……
