Tool of the trade

It's seems to me that the greatest tool that Satan has used over the past hundred years or so is that of distraction.  Our country is far too immersed and familiar with the Protestant faith to be drawn into gross immorality (though that seems to be less and less the case any more).  The most effective tool to draw man away from that which is most important (our relationship with God) is that of misuse of that which is overall good.  If you eat desert a few times a week, you are probably going to be okay.  But if you eat a box of Twinkies every day, you will most likely be in serious trouble.
We are born into a physical world, but far too often completely forget or ignore the fact that we are spirits as well.  Ignoring this will lead to our total demise.  It is so easy to become distracted by all the good and beautiful things of this world that we will fall into spiritual negligence, or even more difficult, spiritual delusion.  To live in a state of mind where everything is okay is extremely damaging and ultimately damning.  We are fat and happy and more than content to stay that way.  The problem is, we wallow in sin and don't even notice it.  We live selfish lives and think its right and normal.  We relegate God to the background and think that it is okay.
In short, we are totally screwed up but too blind and distracted to even notice.
