The devil doesn’t create, he lies. He doesn’t give us his side of the story and hope we agree with him, he makes us believe the God story isn’t worth the effort. So, the problem with pleasure isn’t that we seek it; it is that we seek it from the wrong things and in the wrong way. The devil doesn’t make us seek pleasure from bad things he creates, he makes pleasure empty by distorting something good, the devil doesn’t create – he distorts. So we find ourselves seeking pleasure, but never being fulfilled. Even when we seek good things, we are left empty because even things created by God are not, and can not, be an end in themselves. God is the Alpha and the Omega.
