"'A sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell on the path and was trampled on, and the birds of the air ate it up.'" Luke 8:5 (NRSV)
"'Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. The ones on the path are those who have heard, then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved.'" Luke 8:11,12 (NRSV)
And this is what is happening.
People are hearing the word of God.
The revelations of God's mercy, forgiveness, and love.
But Satanism in our popular culture, working though the collective unconscious, is turning them away so that they may not be saved.
