self gratification in sin, and the list goes on.
or it's each individual own responsibility for the action he takes?

Read Ephesians 6:10-18
(Ephesians 6:19, 20) Pray also for me, that the words may be given to me when I open my mouth, so that I may be able to speak boldly in making known the sacred secret of the good news, 20 for which I am acting as an ambassador in chains, and that I may speak about it with boldness, as I ought to speak.
We don't want to be undercover witneses of God.

(James 2:19) You believe that there is one God, do you? You are doing quite well. And yet the demons believe and shudder.
Even the demons know there is one true God.
of course they are smarter than we are.
(2 Corinthians 4:4) among whom the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, so that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ, ....might not shine through.
