We are caught between the devil and the deep blue sea.
The devil is the evil influences in our popular culture which push: death, darkness, hate, vice, drugs, sin, violence, and evil.
And the deep blue sea is the false teachings of the Churches that God judges us, and punishes us, and that pushes: guilt, fear, and even hate.
Both are homophobic and both are racist.
They do not know God.
As Jesus said: "'Are you a teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand these things?'" John 3:10 (NRSV)
Yet they do not.
They are blind guides.
But to leave God's House is to be prey to evil in the world.
Rock musicians, stars, and sports people sell their souls to the devil for fame, fortune, and a rock star reception.
And they betray us into lives of degradation, vice, and addiction.
This hidden evil sabotages us every day.
They want our souls in hell.
And they lie and deceive everyone.
So study the scriptures, pray, and contemplate the Divine.
Only then will you find the truth.
