The authorities in our churches, our synagogues, our mosques, and our temples do not know God.
And therefore their teachings are false.
They teach a carrot and stick style theology which is designed to control sin.
And most of them have a negative attitude towards sexuality.
This results in the situation where the devil seems more appealing to some than God who is seen by them as an insane dictator.
And so we are caught between the devil and the deep blue sea.
Between evil and a false god.
Is it any wonder that nothing seems to work?
This is why the prophets and Jesus are so critical of the shepherds - the religious authorities.
Because they divert people away from the true God who is Mercy and Love.
And they inspire a hatred of God that results in evil.
How many times has God sent a messenger to reform religion but they were not willing.
And now, again, as we enter the Age of Aquarius God is sending a message:
Fear not! I bring tidings of great joy!
And good news to the poor.
