What goes around, comes around.

This obsession with the occult is going to ruin these kids some day.

They seriously do not know what they are dabbling in. Satan likes to make the occult seem like it’s all fun and games and it’s not.

There’s real power there and getting sucked into it through seemingly innocuous ways is just as dangerous as joining a coven and becoming a Satanist. There are two books which deal with the occult and getting involved with it.

One is The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis, which is fiction, and the other is The Beautiful Side of Evil by Johanna Michaelsen, which is still in print and available online. It is an autobiography of her journey in the occult and how Satan uses seemingly good things to suck people in. I read it years ago and it is a fascinating, enlightening, and very alarming book.

It's also pretty well covered in the third chapter of Genesis.

INDEED. ALL WARNINGS AGAINST SUCH CONTACTS AND ATTRACTIONS TO THE OCCULT NEED TO BE HEEDED.

I often ask my students—what’s with the skulls and stuff on clothing etc. They never have any good answers.

It’s always stuff like . . .

It’s dramatic. It’s exciting etc.

To which I reply:

DEATH IS ATTRACTIVE? You REALLY

WANT

TO

ADVERTISE

DEATH???

For what purpose? You looking to die soon?

You eager for your loved ones to die soon?

You want to attract a boy/girlfriend who’s obsessed with death as an ideal mate?

Of course, then, they have no answers.

What hideous seductions of values.

Sheesh.

Culture of death indeed.
