تزیین شیطان

بدیهی است که خداوند هرگز شیطان را گمراه نکرده بود؛ بلکه این ز نسبت شیطنت‌آمیزی بود که از ابلیس صادر شد برای این که خود را تبرئه کند و توجیهی برای اغواگری خود ترتیب دهد و این رسم ابلیس و همةٌ شیطان‌ها است که اولاً گناهان خویش را به گردن دیگران می‌افکنند و ثانیاً می‌کوشند اعمال زشت خود را با منطق‌های غلط توجیه کنند؛ نه تنها در برابر بندگان خدا؛ بلکه در برابر خود خدا که از همه چیز آگاه است! نکته دیکَر اینکه منظور از تزیین شیطان، همان وسوسه های شیطان است که زشت را در نظر زیبا می کند یا با استفاده از عوامل گوناگون خارجی» اعمال زشت را زینت می‌دهد؛ همان‌گونه که گاهی مواد کشنده را در پوشش‌هایی از شیرینی قرار می‌دهند و نیز انحرافات بزرگ را در لفافه‌هایی مانند تمدن و روشنفکری و آزاداندیشی و امثال آَن می‌پوشانند.
