It may be that some people want to be ignorant and choose to let Satan deceive them so they can still indulge in the lusts of the flesh, and be proud of themselves.

Who gave Satan that power?

my guess would be the ego, which always seeks to serve itself?

We are indeed selfish, a good trait, right?
That does not mean we follow Satan.

well, i guess we all define terms a bit differently ( the real "speaking in tongues," prolly); i would say love of self is essential and often sorely lacking, which maybe leads to selfishness as in self-centered-ness?

We all automatically love ourselves at birth. That is when our selfish gene takes over and has us do the great good you see us all doing for each other.
To a point where evolutionists are having a hard time explaining why we are so good to each other.
