Former full-time genius, Winston Churchill, once added this to his bottomless library of brilliant quotes and observations: " A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on." And so it is with our archenemy's principal weapon in the battle that rages between free-willed mankind and the adversary of our souls, a very real devil. He is the father of all lies, and when he speaks he doesn't waste a word. And he wastes no time in getting his message out.
The dead religiosity found in much of today's organized Christian 'churches' has successfully kept most of an ungodly, amoral and God-FEARLESS generation estranged and rightfully critical of the present stereotype of 21st century Christianity. And exacerbating the problem are churches full of 'good people' (many of whom are saved) who generally look down their noses at all of the 'bad people' who are very guilty of acting just like lost people. The churchgoers, of course, forget that they were once lost 'bad people', themselves. (Christ, after all, did say he came for those who need him ['the sick'], and not for those who don't ['the well'].)
