In the Eternal Gullible

STOP AND DO ME A FAVOR. PUT THIS BOOK DOWN. Just put it back on the shelf or wherever you found it and first pick up the Bible--the infallible Word of God. This book, and the theories proposed within this book, is fallible at best. Holy Writ is not. In the Eternal Gullible deals only in commentary. Do not substitute this or any other source of information for the only sort of devotion in which God loyally speaks to us. What follows is the natural continuation of Avoid Science Falsely So-Called. After exploring the joyous cosmology, as described by the Spirit's Testimony, and the church's ultimate rejection of Sola Scriptura in favor of Science, we turn now, quite naturally, to the occult. First there is the bold-faced lie in the garden, by which the Mystery Religion was born. The Bible quickly addresses the cities of Cain--Atlantis we may even wish to include among them--then the Great Deluge, and naturally, as regurgitated human behavior predictably proves, Babylon followed. Egypt, Persia, Greece, and Rome--in that order, most of us are familiar with. How much of western society, I wonder, has been built upon the foundations--even nursed at the bosom--of the occult? Much is my reply.Make no mistake about it. The Mystery Religion, which once flourished in the Fertile Crescent, and propagates the damnable lie that in each of us lies dormant the divine spark, just waiting to be woken--for starters; is still very much alive today. The occult is real. They need pop-culture. They need movies; they need comic books; they need toys and merchandise items; they need natural phenomenon and the imaginative tinkerers; they need everything they can throw at us in order for the aliens to land and the specters to creep in our shadow--specifically, for their agents to materialize in our mind's eye. The prince of the power of the air demands his fantastical stories; his hieroglyphs; his esoteric texts and hidden wisdom; and all the artillery of books, movie reels, and media that he can throw at us in order to be heard--and also, if you're catching my drift, for his agents to materialize through the curtain. But is it any surprise?God uses His Word to speak with us.Why should we give the fullest attention of our day to Satan? The occult is certainly not lacking. And it needs us. Oh, it so desperately needs us to live and to breathe.And to eat.And besides, God has never spoken to me through Shakespeare, Homer, Mark Twain, or Stephen King. They have found their inspiration among the muses. Must they inspire us too? Let the man who wishes to hear from God pick up his Bible and read.
