Rob Chambers, national field director for the American Family Association gives the familiar old explanation that the Christian right has for everything. Why do some people oppose North Carolina’s anti-LGBT law? Why, because of Satan, of course. The perfect scapegoat for everything.





When the program’s host, Steve Johnson, asked Chambers why there was so much criticism of recently passed anti-LGBT laws in states like North Carolina and Mississippi, Chambers responded by naturally blaming Satan. “This is spiritual warfare,” Chambers said. “Satan is not bound by good, certainly, but basically distorts truth and he is a master of that. I believe the media, Hollywood, they understand what this bill, or new law, actually does but they are distorting it because that’s the only way that Satan plays and Satan will try to attempt to win is through deceit and deception.”

That pesky Satan! Such a convenient thing to keep around, all the more convenient for not actually existing.
