Set Up.

A whole generation of Hippies and Baby Boomers was set up by their rock stars to be condemned by their gurus and the religious right for drugs and pleasure (which their rock stars told them to do).

So the whole of Generation Z has been set up for practicing magic.
I have already seen a billboard with Merlin engulfed in flames.

What they do is tell you to do something which they know is a transgression and then damn you for it when the stars turn against you.

This is what happened in the 1980s when Generation X and reactionary political leaders blamed the Hippies and Baby Boomers for everything.  This was a political tool of the religious right.

Fortunately the political left will not resort to these extreme tactics.
They will not use damnation as a weapon.
On the whole they do not believe in damnation at all.

At present the religious right (led by the Pope) are trying to scapegoat gays and lesbians in order to create political power.

But it is not really working because powerful rock stars are endorsing gay rights including gay marriage.

So Satan's house is divided.

And the house that is divided must fall.
