Bad Wolf

Throughout human history storytellers have invented boogeymen and big bad wolves to frighten their audiences.Sometimes these storytellers wanted to teach a lessen and sometimes they just wanted to entertain.

Today we invent our or villains for another reason. They distract us from the true evil. Make no mistake, there is evil in the world. But we make boogeymen out of whomever would disagree with us. So the true evil, the devil, is able to sneak about unnoticed while we're hunting the big bad wolf.
