Anti-Religion.

Because rock stars emphasize the negative aspects of the star signs for each generation we are constantly being told to do all the wrong things and this brings out the worst aspects of our personalities.

Selfishness, hedonism, callousness, cynicism, violence, sadism, judgement, hypocrisy, destructive criticism, materialism, cupidity, blasphemy, profanity, hate, evil.....

All these things derive from rock music and entertainment.

And make no mistake this is quite deliberate.

Rock stars emphasize the negatives because they have sold their souls to the devil and his religion is a negative anti-religion.

They hope to be rewarded for betraying us all.

Fame and fortune and a rock star reception.

"Money for nothing and your chicks for free."

This is what they hope for.

But God brings out the best in us.

So you will find God emphasizing positive astrological aspects.

Put away your rock music.

Put away your evil books.

Put away your dark movies.

Cry out to God!

And be delivered.

Black.

You can't see black in the darkness.

Evil dresses all in black.

So you cannot see their evil deeds.

But the Light from God dispels the darkness.

And we can see the evil which lurks in the shadows.

Hidden malice and violence and fear.

They love the darkness for their deeds are evil

They say "Who can see us?"

But God can see them.

The darkness is as light to Him.

And He knows their black hearts.

Altruism.

Many religious people think that Altruism is the meaning of life.

Altruism is the philosophy of putting others before yourself.

But a misplaced sense of obligation inspired by fear can result in resentment and bitterness.

It can create bad-tempered, nasty people.

Better by far to preach love of your neighbor.

Love automatically puts others before ourselves.

Love inspires compassion and sacrifice.

Love is its own reward.

Loving people are happy and content.

And those who love God experience joy and peace.

So it it love that is the meaning of life!

Sexual Expression.

Young men need to express their sexual energy.

It is no use telling them to be celibate.

And this applies to gay men as well.

It is the bane of religion that they fear sexual expression.

Fear of hell makes them act unnaturally.

But why would God punish sex?

God invented sex after all.

He even invented gay sex.

God didn't invent marriage, however. 

So the Church needs to revise its attitude to sex.

And allow nature to take its course.

God Provides.

In the beginning we all behave as if God has forsaken the Earth.

We act out of fear.

"Food doesn't grow on trees you know."

I'm afraid it does.

God provides.

And when we establish a relationship with God He provides for us.

There is always enough.

And when we believe this our fear goes.

And we are able to act out of love.

Ozzy Osbourne.

Generation X made Ozzy Osbourne a celebrity.

He had his own reality T.V. show.

But Ozzy Osbourne was unashamedly Satanic.

The rock band that he fronted - Black Sabbsth - was a pioneer of Satanic rock.

So what are we to make of a generation who raises up an openly Satanic rock star as a hero?

I can only conclude that they admire Satan themselves.

And this is consistent with their behavior.

But everyone will deny this.

"There is no devil so how can there be any devil-worshippers."

But there are.

And Ozzy Osbourne is one of them.

All the Wrong Things.

Rock stars tell you to do all the wrong things:

"Taking the easy way out", "I am a Rock", "Mind Games", "Take it to the Limit", "Rocket Man", "Walk on By", "Helpless", "Rock and Roll Suicide", "Paint it Black", "Sympathy for the Devil", "Satisfaction", " I'm Not in Love", and many more.....

These songs contain a death-wish.

They are created by rock stars who are secretly Satanic.

They deliberately sabotage our spiritual progress.

They break your heart.

And they sow evil and hatred.

This induces intense suffering.

They sell drugs to dull the pain.

It can result in suicide.

So turn off your rock music.  

And open your heart.

Cry out to God!

And be healed.

Leviticus 19.

"You shall not hate in your heart any one of your kin,....

You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against any of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself."  Leviticus 19:17,18 (NRSV)

The Beast.

The four Beasts that rise out of the sea in the Book of Daniel are four empires:

Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome.

They are called Beasts because they rely on violence and force.

And they kill thousands.

The Fourth Beast is boastful and blasphemes against God.

It has terrible teeth that crush and devour its victims.

Pax Romana was the Roman peace which was established through violence and domination.

"Peace through Strength" is the equivalent of Pax Romana.

A Bigger Bully.

Donald Trump called Iran "the bully of the Middle East".

And he proposed to address that problem by being a bigger bully.

The Cry!

Who hears the cry of gay men?

Men weighed down with sickness and grief.

Men who are blighted with violence and shame.

Men who are told that God hates them.

Men who are told hell awaits them.

Cry out to God!

Cry out in pain.

Cry out to God! 

For your lovers are slain.

He will hear.

40 odd years.

But answer He will.

Guiding our souls safely heavenward still.

The Heart.

You may see with your eyes or with your mind.

But you understand with the heart.

The Last Step.

Jesus said to love your enemies.

"'For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous.'"  Matthew 5:45 (NRSV)

But he did not say why.

The reason, hidden to us until now, is because evil and the unrighteous are motivated by fear.

So their crimes are forgivable.

It is not entirely their fault.

They are afraid of retribution.

They are afraid of a false image of God.

An image that inspires fear.

So their crimes are forgivable.

God writes off their debts.

And God liberates their souls.

There are only two things in the universe:

Fear and Love.

And when the fear is gone

There is only Love.

Image.

Rock stars, sports heroes, and celebrities are obsessed with their image.

This refers to how they are perceived by the public.

And with good cause.

In reality they are nothing like their image.

Stars who have sold their souls to the devil for fame and fortune are in fact agents of evil.

The image they project is of glamorous beacons of light, even saviors and messiahs.

But they are envoys of darkness.

They are ego-maniacs and predators.

Dogs* and Divas.

The darkness hides their true identities.

And their influence is poison.

(*Gods backwards.)

A Merciless Storm.

Generation X unleashed a merciless storm of hatred and evil against the Baby-Boomers.

But their violence was justified by right-wing Christians inspired by Ronald Reagan's* Millennial Last Judgement.

So they thought their evil was good.

But evil and hate are not good.

So when the Light from God comes their evil will be exposed for what it is.

And we will see that they have turned to the devil and to darkness.

Hate is the dark side.

And the reliance of the Right on hate is a reliance on evil.

So pray for the Light.

And pray to God that they turn from evil and hate and return to God who is goodness and love.

(*Ronald Reagan hated the Baby-Boomers for what they did to him in the 1960s and 70s.)

Our True Selves.

Carl Jung said that we hide our real selves behind masks of geniality or toughness or bravado or aggression.

Some will even assume an appearance of evil.

The reason for this is fear learned in childhood and carried into adulthood.

So perhaps the people most difficult to deal with are the people who have been hurt the most.

Their real selves are buried deep within them.

They are protecting themselves - the hearts that have been broken.

But God can touch this self, this child, this soul.

God's Love takes away our fear.

And we can live again.

The X-Factor.

The X-Factor is Satanism.

Wannabes are encouraged to sell their souls for a rock star reception.

Satanists in the music industry sit as judges on talent shows in order to recruit disciples.

They tell them Satan can make them stars.

They flatter the winners and humiliate the losers.

The X-Factor is an edge.

And they tell them that Satan gives them an edge.

"Opening doors and pulling some strings."

The X-Factor is Satanism.

But Satanism is a lie.

Money for Nothing.

The bad news is that our sporting heroes are heavily involved in Satanism.

Satanism is physical - "this body of death."  Romans 7:24 (NRSV)

And sports men and women believe the devil is magic.

But the main reasons are money and sex 

"Money for nothing, and your chicks for free!"

They ally themselves with Satanic rock stars and lead us astray.

They distract us and addict us.

Our obsession with sports is no coincidence.

It is quite deliberately induced.

And it is deliberately used to brainwash us.

So don't put your faith in sports heroes.

They are most likely evil and want your soul in hell.

Sex.

The creation of life is not the sole purpose of sex.

Sex creates intimacy, tenderness, and love.

So homosexual sex is just as valid as heterosexual sex.

We seek a loving union with another.

We seek to give our love to another.

We are not necessarily intending to create new life.

And although new life is not just a side effect of sex we are seldom thinking about that during sex.

So the pleasure and intimacy created by sex is as important as procreation.

And gay sex is a valid expression of love.

Refugees.

We pray for all those in refugee camps and detention centers.

People fleeing war and persecution.

Including LGBT+ people.

Hold them in your loving embrace, Lord.

Heaven.

Contrary to the view of vocal conservatives gay people are not destined for hell.

God loves His gay children as He loves all His children.

We are not condemned.

Nor are we evil.

Gay people are as human as others.

We live and love as others do.

And we have hopes and dreams like you.

But one thing remains to be said:

"Gay people go to Heaven."

The Difference.

The difference between the Baby-Boomers and Generation X is that while both hated their parents and blamed them for all the ills of the world the Baby-Boomers rejected the Orthodox theology of the Church but sought to find God in Eastern religions whereas Generation X blamed God for their suffering and blasphemed His name, many turning to the devil as an alternative.

Both, however, were corrupted by Satanists in the rock music and entertainment industries through subversive messages hidden in their products.

Interconnectedness.

The collective unconscious is the network by which we are connected to all other humans.

It is the agent of our interconnectedness.

All things are interconnected.

And all things are connected with God.

God is at the center of all interconnectedness.

Unfortunately some influences in the collective unconscious spread violence, hatred, and evil.

These influences try to control us.

They tempt us.

And they corrupt us.

Viceland is just one example of this.

Rock music, movies, T.V., literature, and sports can infect us with these influences.

So it is up to us to meditate on non-violence, goodness, and love in order to neutralize these influences.

And pray to God to protect us.

God is One.

"Hear O Israel, the Lord our God is One."

This statement from Deuteronomy 6 contradicts all notions of Dualism.

Dualism developed in ancient Persia and influenced Judaism during the Persian Empire.

It states that God and the devil are equal co-creators of reality.

 

This was a primitive theory developed to explain our experience in the world.

But there are other explanations.

For example evil in our world can be attributed to the ignorance and fear of human beings with free will.

There is no need for a supernatural explanation of evil.

This means that there is only one supernatural force - God.

And God is good.

So we are not surrounded by shadows and evil.

We are surrounded by God's Love.

It is evident in creation.

And it is evident is the Life that is all around us.

But that is not to say that there is no evil in the world.

Evil exists in the form of people who have rejected God and turned to the devil as a preferred alternative.

Or so they believe.

Rock stars, entertainers, and sporting heroes have sold their souls for fame and fortune and a rock star reception.

And they do evil in our world.

But the image of God which they have rejected is not the true image of God.

Jesus said that the world did not know God.

By this he meant that the standard image of God as a harsh punisher and judge of humans was not what God was like at all.

God does not punish us.

God does not judge us.

God is our loving Father.

And He loves all His children.

"even the darkness is not dark to you.

the night is as bright as the day,

for darkness is as light to you."

Psalm 139:12 (NRSV)

"God is light and in him there is no darkness."  1 John 1:5 (NRSV)

"Hear O Israel, the Lord our God is One."

Deliver Us From Evil.

Generation X turned to Satan,

And when Ronald Reagan realized that the power of Generation X came from Satan he said: "Use Satan to win". 

So Ronald Reagan's campaign against the political left turned to Satan to win.

And the Religious Right and the Republican Party are still there today!

They rely on the violence and hate of Generation X win.

And they are in league with Satanists in our entertainment and sports.

Satanism is lies.

Joseph Goebbels said: "If you tell a big enough lie and keep repeating it people will eventually come to believe it."

And this is what Fox News does.

It feeds the irrational mentality of the Religious Right by repeating lies.

But the truth will out!

Lay down the sword and cry out to God!

He will hear.

And deliver us from evil.
