Wash Post Column Cheers Satan, Jeers Christians
WND ^ | 08/23/17 | Garth Kant

Posted on 08/24/2017 10:42:12 AM PDT by Enlightened1

WASHINGTON – The venerated journalistic institution the Washington Post, which recently adopted the slogan “Democracy Dies in Darkness,” published a column Wednesday by a spokesman for the “Prince of Darkness” who blamed Christianity for slavery and white supremacism.

The op-ed by Lucien Greaves, both a defense of satanism and an attack on Christianity, was headlined “I’m a founder of the Satanic Temple. Don’t blame Satan for white supremacy.”

Although slavery was historically practiced by virtually every culture in the world and only stopped by Christians, Greaves revives the argument that blames it on Christians.

In the op-ed, the self-described co-founder of the Satanic Temple:

Greaves begins his piece by taking exception to what he terms a “consensus among Christian leaders was that Satan was at fault” for the violence and death in the melee between far-right protesters and far-left counter protesters earlier this month in Charlottesville.

Evangelist Franklin Graham had shamed politicians “trying to push blame on President Trump.”

“Really, this boils down to evil in people’s hearts. Satan is behind it all,” Graham said.

who blamed Christianity for slavery

Oh yeah . . . the Arab Muslim pagan Negro slave masters in Africa who sold their Negroes to the slave traders were all Christians. Golly, I missed that in my "forced" "Black History" classes in college. Where was I?

Yep it goes way back to Egypt that had slaves.

The word “slave” comes from Slavs or Slavic.

You know the people of Eastern Europe became slaves.

How many Christians are editors at the WaPo? Probably not many, if any.

Something tells me, they won't enjoy ANYTHING, and the lord of darkness, will be the chief outlaw prisoner in their humble, little, fiery hot abode.

Satanists are under no obligation to be truthful. Te only truth they know is “evil is good and good is evil.”

"Neither Greaves nor Malcom Jarry, pseudonyms for the co-founders of the organization, actually believe in supernatural beings such as gods or Satan"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucien_Greaves

I wonder what members of Mr. Neuroscientist's "church" actually believe about the Biological facts of human history?

XX + XX = FAIL

XY + XY = FAIL

XX + XY = Human

psy·cho·sis
sīˈkōsəs/
noun
  1. a severe mental disorder in which thought and emotions are so impaired that contact is lost with external reality.
"According to my opinion, and the opinions of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare. What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.
 
It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages.
 
The first stage being "demoralization". It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation.
 
Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years required to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy exposed to the ideology of [their] enemy. In other words, Marxism-Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least 3 generation of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism; American patriotism.

Blames Christians for slavery;

This is why it is so important for us to fight back against the dismantling of statues of historical figures in the public square. Take away a few more confederate statues and kids growing up might never know the USA fought a civil war to free the slaves. Put in proper context, and ignoring whether the war itself was about slaves at the beginning, one can argue that no other christian nation or people sacrificed their blood for a more righteous cause than our American Civil War. And even after such a terrible war you'd be hard pressed to find a more amicable reunification of the two sides without forced interference from abroad. The only value that transcends the evil of the killing and depredations is the christian values shared by both north and south. Ironically it is the rise of non-christian values which puts that long lasting peace in jeopardy.

In that context, Christians hands down did more than any other people to put a stop to slavery. It isn't even debatable.

Slavery has been historically endemic in almost every culture, from primitive tribalism to high civilizations.

It has *only* been eradicated in Christian countries, and in areas dominated by Christian countries (e.g. the British Empire).

One day every knee will bow and acknowledge Jesus as Lord. A lot of them will be doing it from hell.
