Good.

Whatever happened to Good?

We are inundated with evil.

Evil challengers, evil cooks, evil chasers. evil heroes.....

Our role models are: beasts, monsters, scoundrels, rogues, and criminals.

And we have Generation X to thank. 

The Bad Generation: delinquents, no angels, pure evil....

They have normalized evil.

Because they are evil themselves.

They think evil is funny.

And they call evil entertainment.

We are drowning in sea of corruption and vice.

They have invited the devil.

And they pass it off as a joke.

But God is Good.

His Mercy is infinite.

His Forgiveness is forever.

And His Salvation is eternal.

The Blackshirts.

Generation X are the Blackshirts.

The are the Reagan youth.

They want money, power, and sex.

And just as the Hitler youth betrayed family and friends so the Blackshirts blew the whistle on the Hippies and Boomers - their parents generation.

Reagan used judgement as a weapon.

And Generation X grabbed it with glee.

They are the self-appointed judges of humanity.

But their judgement is a lie.

"Don't have no Hippy chicks."

"Show no mercy."

It is political.

And it is evil

They have taken the law into their own hands.

And they have committed a great crime.

Reagan's image of God as the judge and punisher of his political enemies is false.

And his Last Judgement was invented. 

It was expedient and corrupt.

"An unconventional weapon" in his political war.

But it is based on hate and prejudice.

It relies on right-wing media propaganda.

And it is lies.

So tell the truth!

Reagan was wrong.

And his Blackshirts are criminals.

Sex Magic.

Just because Satanists practise sex magic does not mean that all sex is of the devil.

The notion that the devil presides over sex is ridiculous.

God invented sex.

And we are meant to enjoy it.

Ultimately sex is love.

And as such it is intimately related to God.

So don't believe the hype.

Sex is good.

And it is from God.

Maya - Illusion and the Devil.

Satanists in our popular culture have appropriated the Indian concept of Maya - illusion or magic - in order to conceal their activities.

Satanists in rock music. sports, and entertainment project an image which hides their true nature.

Therefore they can continue to poison and sabotage our spiritual quest without being seen.

Maya is falsehood or lies.

Its aim is to confuse and deceive you.

These concepts appear in the writings of Aleister Crowley on magick which include perversions of Gnosticism and Yoga.

But I would advise you not to read them unless you want to be confused and deceived.

These things also appear in the writings of Lawrence Durrell.

His book Monsieur or The Prince of Darkness includes a Gnostic mass where the devil appears and a subsequent metaphysical discourse ascribing the Kundalini as a snake to the devil.   

These are lies.

Cosmic deceptions.

And as such they are Maya - illusions.

So the antidote is the truth.

The truth about God.

And the truth about evil.

The truth will dispel the illusions about rock musicians, celebrities, and sports men and women.

And it will reconnect us with God.

Heaven.

When God comes to us we experience a Benediction.

God's Presence is a Blessing.

We experience Mercy, Forgiveness, and Grace.

And He turns our thoughts to Heaven.

But most of all we know that we are loved.

The Wedding Robe.

In the Parable of the Wedding Banquet a king gives a wedding banquet for his son.

But the invited guests make excuses not to come.

So the king sends his servants out into the streets to invite anyone who will come.

But in Matthew's Gospel the king notices a man who is not wearing a wedding robe.

He rejects him and throws him out.  (Matthew 22:1-14)

I believe that this passage (which only appears in the Gospel of Matthew) is intended to refer to our attitude.

The wearing of a wedding robe is a sign of respect - an attitude of reverence and devotion - due to God.

"For many are called, but few are chosen."  Matthew 22:14 (NRSV)

Fear.

The AIDS crisis inspired fear in the heterosexual religious community which caused them to judge and punish gay men who were already in distress due to the illness.

This when the compassion and love of Jesus was most needed.

And this fear still survives today.

Fundamentalist and Evangelical Christians persist in their condemnation and hate of gay men despite the fact that AIDS is virtually cured.

My prayer is that they will overcome their fear and open their hearts to gay men.

And that they will cease from using homosexuality as scapegoat.
