The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly  

"He who will not reason is a bigot; he who cannot is a fool; and he who does not is a slave."

— William Drummond


In this day and age, it has become politically incorrect to speak of anyone as being bad or evil, unless of course they live in a foreign land and speak a different language. What we wish to do here is to make you more aware of the inner spiritual differences between people: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Regardless of where you live, you come into contact with people in these three categories all of the time. Unless you give up your prejudices, programming, or false indoctrination about who is good and bad, you may be the worse for not thinking for your self. Religious indoctrination does not save you from evil, no matter what you may have been taught.

The greatest Lie of the Devil must be that evil doesn't exist. That is closely followed by the one that says you are not supposed to be able to tell the difference between Good and Evil. Right from the start, the Bible tells you that it is wrong to be able to see and discern the difference between Good and Evil. It labels knowing the difference between Good and Evil, as Evil. How could that be? This one fairy tale about Adam and Eve has labeled all women as being inferior, wrong-minded, and spiritually worthless, for thousands of years; it has spiritually oppressed, blinded, and corrupted people through the ages. Instead of your being willing and able to discern the truth for your self, you let the "authorities" tell you right from wrong, good from evil, and truth from lies. Oh, but they have a fairy tale to support the Evil oppression, beating, impoverishment, and ownership of women (that's the history of marriage) for thousands of years. No, the authorities don't have any problem at all telling what is right from wrong, good from evil, truth from lies — everything that supports them in their delusions, self-righteousness, closed-mindedness, ignorance, injustice, and spiritual Evil, is just fine and right with them. No problem here. Just close your eyes and refuse to see the difference between Good and Evil.

Let us dispel another myth: "There are no bad people, there is only bad behavior." "Engaging in what is bad, wrong, or evil does not make a person like that." Oh, really? This misguided thinking or pop psychology comes from the basic denial of evil. What a wonderful comfort this must be for those who are in fact evil. But what a travesty for those who have been abused, exploited, raped, tortured, or killed by evil beings throughout the ages. Make no mistake, there are demons walking around in these human bodies; evil lives and walks among us. And the evil ones know full well — they can see it — that people are taught to not discern good from evil, and are much like prey to the predators. Religious indoctrination is not the solution; it merely labels everyone else, who has any other beliefs, as wrong and evil. And, they all do this. That way, we never need to discern for ourselves, or truly see what is right and wrong. The world is so much simpler if everyone in your religion is good, everyone in your family is good, everyone who befriends you is good, ... but it is simply not true.

If you have been taught that everyone of your particular religious sect (whether it is the Mormons, Catholics, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, or otherwise) is good and going to heaven, and everyone else is bad and going to hell, you have really not been saved from evil. You have been made unaware. You may even be part of a system which tends to oppress, exploit, abuse, or destroy human beings. Think of the men, women, and children abused, oppressed, or destroyed by the so-called Christian Church through the ages, and to this very day. Have you fallen for this lie, which artificially and wrongly separates the "good" from the "evil," based upon acceptance of religious dogma and indoctrination? If so, why? Does it appeal to your ego, or feelings of superiority? Is it easier than thinking for your self?

If you believe in the Ten Commandments, that you must honor and obey your father and mother or go to hell, once again you have been taught to be unaware, to never question any evils you might see, no matter how close to home they might be. Where do you think most sexual abuse and trauma comes from? Parents can and do abuse and destroy their children, and make their lives a living hell. Think of those children born to parents who sell them to strangers for sex, for money. Yes, it happens. Who or what is being protected, when we are told we must blindly respect and obey authority, rather than see the truth and think for ourselves? Is it not "wrong" that is ultimately being protected in this way? Why are we made to doubt ourselves or what we know to be right, and instead told to subjugate ourselves to those who may hurt us the most?

If you believe the indoctrination to "turn the other cheek," when you are wronged, you have not been saved from evil. Once again, you have been set up to be exploited, abused, or destroyed by it. Do you think the evil beings will not zero in on you like sharks in a feeding frenzy once they see you will not stand up for yourself? Realize, the greatest percentage of abuse — whether sexual, emotional, physical, or spiritual — is perpetrated by those we know, by trusted family, elders, spouses, and so on, not strangers. Does naiveté, lack of awareness, or lack of discernment between good and evil somehow protect you? You can ask any sexual predator or serial killer for the answer to that question.    read more ...
