⛪️ I believe we should turn away from conspiracy theories and towards theology, towards religious doctrine. For everything began at the moment when we rejected the Church and laughed at its teachings: that eternity exists, that the soul exists, that the soul is immortal, that the Last Judgment awaits us, and that the struggle between angels and demons also runs through man himself and through our history.
📖 We laughed at all of this extensively and for centuries. We turned all kinds of knobs and had some trainee in a white coat demonstrate to the peasant, with the aid of his instruments, that lightning did not come from God.
🕊 For a very long time we mocked the traditional religions—not only Christianity, but Judaism and Islam as well, ultimately every religion. Now that laughter has turned into an ominous, diabolical laughter.
⚖️ It turns out that the idea that the devil no more exists than God was itself an idea of the devil. He carefully planted it in people’s minds and used it for his own purposes.
❗️ That is the new situation.
