Hard.

Hard is not the same as strong.

Hard-heartedness is in fact a product of fear.

But a strong heart is open and full of love.

To him compassion is not weakness.

And tears are not an embarrassment.

A big, soft heart is a sign of strength.

And power comes from giving love.

AFL.

Homophobia is rampant in the AFL.

It is violent, virulent, and vindictive.

And it is not just players and officials at the clubs.

It is fans.

It is evident at games.

AFL clubs are not safe places for gay men.

Be they fans, employees, or players.

It is the last bastion of homophobia.

And it is unacceptable in a modern liberal democracy.

Iceberg.

Most people will say that Satanism is not a problem because there is so little of it.

But that is because only one tenth of it is visible.

The majority of the activities of Satanism in our world are subliminal.

You will see the flames.

You will see the hand signs.

You will see the tongues.

You will see the backwards words and images.

But you will not register what they mean.

The unconscious messages are: that the devil is powerful. the devil is successful, the devil is lucky, the devil governs sex.....

All of these are lies.

All power comes from God, the flames of hell represent torment.

The devil is a born loser, he cannot win.

The devil is bad luck - Friday the 13th is unlucky, 666 is a curse.

Sex cannot be a thing of the devil - Sex was invented by God, its power and pleasure come from Him.

So if you are pretending that it does not matter you will be buying the lies.

And you will suffer.

Because they tell you to do all the wrong things.

And they want your soul in hell.

It works on your subconscious.

So think about what you see.

There is Satanism in rock music.

There is Satanism in sports.

There is Satanism in movies.

But nine tenths of it is subliminal.

The Scapegoating Mechanism.

The French philosopher Rene Girard describes what he calls the scapegoating mechanism.

This is the psychological phenomenon by which people externalize all evil onto a scapegoat - often a vulnerable minority group.

This creates a sense of moral purity and superiority.

He says that people then persecute and victimize the scapegoat.

This is what has happened since AIDS.

Many people have made gays and lesbians the locale of all evil in order to feel morally pure and good.

This despite their own attitudes and behavior.

Right-wing political forces have used this deliberately to gain political power. 

It is based on prejudice.

And it functions like a switch.

But it breaks down in the end.

And the scapegoat is vindicated.

The Whole Damn Thing.

The shift in the zeitgeist inspired by Generation X is all bad.

Bad, delinquents, pure evil, X factor, no angel, attitude, badass, devils in heaven, excellent, ticks, the right thing, picket fences, boxer shorts, deb. balls, air guitar, School of Rock, violent horror movies, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, Dancing with the Devil, greed is good, material girl, sharks and wolves, kick, violent computer games, red dead redemption, diabolo, the dark portal, and much more.....

All this is bad.

And it is responsible for the corruption and degradation of our society.

It undermines our ethics.

And it glamorizes evil.

Because it is based in Satanism.

Satanism.

Those who turn to the devil as an alternative to God are not reacting against God at all.

What they are rejecting is the traditional authoritarian teachings of the Church.

These include: celibacy, penance, suffering, original sin, self-abnegation, obligation, fear, hell, and the mortification of the body.....

These teachings do not reflect the nature of God at all.

They are mostly Machiavellian mass control techniques.

They have their basis in fear.

But there is no fear in God.

God loves us.

And it is His Will that we be free!

God's Church.

How can God's Church be run by people who don't know God and don't do His Will?

The answer is that those who seek positions in God's Church are interested in power and authority.

And so they are subject to the temptations of power and authority.

And even if they are not they will soon be indoctrinated into the authoritarian teachings of the traditional Church.
