A little more about my background, I used to work at a school for troubled teens and was a Group Therapy leader there which is what turned me onto the whole Psychology thing. One thing that stood out to me when I was there was how similar the backgrounds of the kids there were that had the same problems, and anti-social behaviors. This got me pondering the religious aspects or theologies behind it. I am in many ways a man of science, but this got me thinking logically how "The Devil" or evil would work against people. For those who wonder or point fingers about this kind of stuff I am not saying this is how it works but what makes most sense logically.
Unable to know the thoughts of a man but knowing the science of how the mind works, if one was wanting to find a way to control a mind and know its tendencies they could do certain things to gain it. For example if one where to entice a person to sexually abuse a child at a young and impressionable age their minds would block off everything to do with what happened. When they started to get older the mind then tries to find closure and a sense of what happened to them, they tend to gravitate towards the things that caused them such pain at a young age. This is why children who have been abused sexually tend to become promiscuous at a young age, or have major problems with pornography or sexual perversions. Their minds are trying to find out what really happened to them and why it happened to them so it uses personal experiences to try to fill in the gaps.
So in short touch the individual at a young age with a certain type of sin (as it were) and though you don’t know what they are thinking at all times you do know the nature of what their sin is and how it would affect the individual and so they can use it to pull that person down. From all my studies and personal experience much of our struggles point back to our past, though not all its still very interesting to think of. This is just some food for thought, all be it some out their kind.
