Satanism.

The concepts of Satanism are irrational, nonsensical, and specious.

They are not based in reality.

They are illusions.

And the greatest illusion of all is the existence of Satan himself.

The World.

I read a survey of Generation Z and Millennials which indicated that young people are seriously concerned about the state of the world.

I also heard from my nieces that many of their friends were concerned about bringing children into the world as it is.

Young people's experience of the world is mostly negative.

Since the decline of the Church and the rejection of idealism the only message young people get is the false philosophy of materialism and worldly success.

These things are empty promises.

They do not bring happiness.

And the slogan work harder is a whip in the hands of our masters.

So what is the answer?

Ironically the Gospel contains the answer to our existential dilemmas.

The Gospel preaches that the way of the world is evil.

And that worldly motives are vain.

It also preaches that the answer is love.

To love God and love our neighbor.

This, however, has not always been taught in the Christian Churches.

The Orthodox theology of sin and redemption with its emphasis on guilt and fear has dominated Christian teaching.

But personal prayer and study can overcome this false teaching.

God is real.

And He answers prayers.

The Buddha taught that life was unsatisfactory.

And so it is until we find love.

Love is the life-blood of existence.

It is love that soothes our pain.

And love is the inmost nature of God.

So ignore the sophistry and rigmarole of religion.

Love God and love your neighbor.

    

And live!

Baby-Boomers.

My message to the Baby-Boomers is this:

Don't listen to the plutocrats who will tell you to just enjoy your retirement.

Expensive holidays, restaurants, entertainment, and pay T.V. are distractions from any higher purpose.

And they feed the greed of rich corporations.

Return to the ideals of your youth.

And support the efforts of the young.

Together we can make a better world for the future.

Retired.

Now that the Baby-Boomers are retired they no longer have to kowtow to corporate plutocrats.

They are free to pursue their original interests.

And so peace, love, and the redistribution of wealth are back on the map.

And climate change, same-sex marriage, abortion rights, gun control, and tax fairness are on the agenda.   

These things are motivated by responsibility for the environment, freedom, civil rights, non-violence, and justice.

And they are endorsed by a younger generation that is politically aware and active.

My message to the younger generation is: "Join the union!"

This will give you a collective voice in the workplace.

And we will support you.

So the time is ripe for change.

Theological Correctness.

When ministers or priests graduate from Theological Colleges they are trapped in Orthodox Theology.

This is Theological Correctness.

It rakes the form of the Fall/Redemption Model of Christianity. 

It is based on the teachings of St. Paul and later traditional teachers.

But it is not true.

Original Sin is based on the mythological story of Adam and Eve.

It cannot be taken as fact.

And redemption through the Blood of Christ is based on barbaric practices of animal sacrifice.

These things are not pleasing to God. 

And they do not reflect the Reality.  

Adan and Eve never existed.

And their myth is not true literally or metaphorically.

Old Testament prophets denounced animal sacrifice.

And modern Judaism no longer practises it.

So why does the Church still insist on this outdated theology?

Tradition?

But Jesus criticized the tradition of the priests.

It is time for a new theology.

A theology that thinks outside the square.

A theology that reflects the non-violent nature of God.

A theology that affirms God's Love.

Evangelical Christians.

While what Evangelical Christians say about Satanism in rock music and popular culture is true there are a lot of things they say that are not true.

These include: a real devil, the Illuminati conspiracy, spiritual warfare, homophobia, demonic possession, judgement and punishment, conservative politics, that yoga is Satanic, rigid morality, fear, hate, and death......

None of these things is true.

God is Light, Love, and Life.

His Mercy is infinite.

And His Forgiveness is everlasting.

Pray to Him.

He will hear.

Generation Z.

Generation Z are those born 1984 - 1995.

They are not to be confused with the Millennials who are born around the Millennium - 1996 - 2010.

Generation Z have Pluto in Scorpio.

They can resort to violence, Fascism, and hate.

But they also have planets in Sagittarius and Capricorn which can make them more benevolent and responsible.

But Neo-Nazi groups, extreme Evangelicals, far-right politics, and civil disobedience are common.

Many of Generation Z participated in the attempted insurrection at the Capitol in the United States on January 6 2021. 

And many of them embrace Satanic rock bands.

This is the Harry Potter generation who have been infected with ideas of witchcraft and magic which border on Satanism.

They wear black and white - like whited sepulchers.

But this is the last group with planets in Scorpio.

So we can look forward to a brighter future.
