False Premise.

Satanism is based on a false premise.

The primary assumption of Satanism is that God is harsh and judgemental.

They say He is a bastard.

This notion originates with the Church which teaches an angry, punitive God.

Neither of them know God.

God is wholly good.
God is benevolent.
God does not punish anyone.

Therefore there can be no Judgement - Personal or General.

And there is no hell.

So Satanism is based on a false premise.

Positives.

Accentuate the positives.

Satanism in rock music pushes the negatives - the negatives of your star sign, the negatives of your generational group.

If you listen to them or follow their prompt you are feeding the negative side of your personality and this induces intense suffering.

You will hate those who love you.
You will cheat on your partner.
You will break off relationships.
You will indulge in vices.
You will blame the innocent.

All these things are hidden in rock music.

But if you accentuate the positives your life will improve dramatically.

You will appreciate your loved ones.
You will be grateful for your blessings.
You will be faithful to your partner.
You will discover hidden talents.
You will experience love and happiness.

So don't listen to the negative messages in rock music - overt or covert.

You deserve better.

Find the positives.

And feed them.

If you pray God will help you.

The Truth.

Many fear God's wrath.

Many fear judgement and hell.

But this is not the truth.

The truth is that God loves you.

No matter what you have done.

No matter who you have been.

God loves you.

And He is waiting for you.

Waiting to bless you.

And lead you Home.

Our Corporate Masters.

Not only does Satanism feed the negatives of each generational group but they corrupt our corporate masters.

At the Barcelona Olympics the Opening Ceremony included something called The Devil's Rain which showed all manner of evil and horrors from hell.  This was conducted by Japanese rock musician Ryuichi Sakamoto.

At the London Olympics the Opening Ceremony featured the (evil) Rings of Power and a segment called Pandemonium which is the name of the capital of hell in Milton's Paradise Lost.  It also depicted cigar smoking plutocrats from the Industrial Revolution.  The rest was rock music.

These are evil things designed by the guilty to tempt those in positions of power - i.e. those rich enough to make up the audiences at those Olympic Ceremonies.

And I'm sure there are many other ways in which Satanists in our culture corrupt older generations.

This is why the world is becoming darker, more violent, colder, more unjust and unforgiving every day.

And no one seems to know why.

Scapegoat.

It is the objective of some in our society to make of gays and lesbians a scapegoat.

It is not difficult to persecute a minority group especially when there is fear surrounding them.

The persistence of AIDS makes gays and lesbians a soft target.

So don't listen to those who tell you gays and lesbians are to blame for our ills.

Gays are no more to blame than anyone else.

And God does not discriminate.

Mercy.

Jesus said, "'Go and learn what this means, "I desire mercy not sacrifice." For I have come to call not the righteous but sinners.'"  Matthew 9:13 (NRSV)

What could this mean?

It means that God does not judge us.
He wants us to show mercy.
As He does.

And He does not judge sinners either.
He shows them mercy.

So no one is condemned.

The Compensations of Art.

When life lets us down and we experience disappointment and failure art can be a real compensation.

The joys of art include stimulation of the intellect and the imagination.

Art can help us understand life.

Art can move us to tears.

Art can touch our hearts.

So we should not underestimate the value of art in our quest.

Art can be a real compensation.
