The Mark of Cain.

The Mark of Cain is not what we think.

We think it is a stigma for murdering his brother Abel out of jealousy.

But what the Bible actually says is this:

"And the Lord put a mark on Cain, so that no one who came upon him would kill him."  Genesis 4:15 (NRSV)

The temptation is to think of Abel as good and Cain as evil.

But God shows mercy to Cain and does not punish him.

This is because Cain's murder of Abel is out of jealousy.

And jealousy is fear.

It is fear of losing God's Love.

And we all have these fears.

God's mercy offends our sense of Natural Justice - reward for good and punishment for evil.

But were God to act in this way we would be condemning ourselves.

Because we all have these fears in our shadows.

And so God shows us mercy.

And we can forgive ourselves.

Violence.

The Hippie Generation were subjected to psychic and spiritual violence by Generation X.

Endorsed by their President Ronald Reagan Generation X attacked the mentality of the Hippies.

They "kicked their heads in."

And they forced them to change.

This was called  Reconstruction.

And the right-wing political parties backed it to the hilt.

They scapegoated hippies and gays.

And they exploited racism and prejudice.

This is the story of our time and the reemergence of political Fascism.

Scapegoats.

Hippies and gays get the blame for Satanism in rock music.

This is because the Fundamentalist Christians who have been given this knowledge are right-wing and use it to smear their political opponents.

Hippies and gays are scapegoats for for rock musicians and rap artists.

This is why this information has been around for decades but nothing ever comes of it.

The rock and rap musicians who sold their souls are getting off scot-free.

Hippies.

Hippies are not all bad.

The Hippie Generation preached peace and love.

And peace and love are major teachings of Jesus.

They also endorsed eastern religious principles like: non-violence (ahimsa), meditation, and the middle path (Buddha).

They pioneered concern for the environment.

And they challenged profit motive and corporate greed.

Unfortunately they were betrayed by their rock stars who sabotaged their spiritual quest and poisoned their minds.

Sex and drugs and rock and roll led to decadence and degradation.

This left them sitting ducks for Reagan's revenge.

And the full force of reactionary Fascism.

Popular Music.

Rock music contains Satanic messages hidden in the music and videos.

It makes you pursue sex and pleasure.

And it conceals death and damnation.

Sex and drugs and rock and roll leads to decadence and indulgence.

"Money for nothing and your chicks for free." encourages selfishness and corruption.

And rap music is nasty sex and prejudice.

These things lead to suffering, burn-out, and suicide.

They do not lead to happiness.

They are the work of devil-worshippers hidden behind a mask of glamour and poplularity.

So be warned.

We are being cursed.

Gay Men.

Gay men go to Heaven.

Homosexuality is not a bar to Heaven in itself.

Homosexuality is love.

And Love is the inmost nature of God.

So gay men are blessed by God.

And they can partake of Eternal Life.

Good and Evil.

When the world was created it was good.

"God saw everything that he had made, and indeed, it was very good."  Genesis 1:31 (NRSV)

Evil came into the world when humankind invented Dualism which led to the creation of evil.

This is why the original sin was eating the fruit of "the tree of the knowledge of good and evil."*  Genesis 2:17 (NRSV)

Evil is an idea - the converse of the good that is God.

So evil is rebellion against God.

And there have been people who chose this path from the beginning.

And they exist today.

So our task is not to overcome some mythical devil and the power of death** but to realize that death is not real.

And that the only evil that exists is the evil which exists in the minds of men and women.

So death and the dark arts have no substance in reality.

God's creation is wholly good.

"and indeed, it was very good"  Genesis 1:31 (NRSV)

(*NB There is no punishment for this.  Evil leads to suffering and death is its own reward.)

(**Dualism states that God is good, light, truth, life, and love and the devil is evil, darkness, lies, death, and hate.)
