"'A sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell on the path and was trampled on, and the birds of the air ate it up.'" Luke 8:5 (NRSV)
"'Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. The ones on the path are those who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved.'" Luke 8:11,12 (NRSV)
And this is what is happening.
People are hearing the word of God:
The revelation of God's mercy, forgiveness, and Love.
But Satanism in our popular culture, working through the collective unconscious, will turn them away so that they may not be saved.
