APPEALING LIES

HEDONISTIC AND SELF-CENTERED AMERICANS ACT AS IF GOD IS ON THEIR SIDE. TOO BAD IT IS NOT TRUE. THEY HAVE FALLEN TO THE DEVIL'S APPEALING LIES. EVERY MAN LIVES FOR HIMSELF, HIS OWN ENDS; THE DEVIL DECEIVES US ALL.

THE ANTI-CHRIST WHISPERS THAT LARGE DOSES OF VITAMINS AND ANTI-OXIDANTS FOSTER GOOD HEALTH. YET TRUTH TELLS US THAT VITALITY CAN BE FOUND IN COMMON SENSE EATING HABITS, NOT IN BOTTLES.

A SEVENTEEN YEAR OLD PREGNANT WITH OUT OF WEDLOCK TWINS CREDITS, "GOD BEING WITH US," FOR THE SURVIVAL OF HER BOYFRIEND WHOSE HEART WAS PIERCED WITH A 3 INCH NAIL.

A BAPTIST PROFESSOR, HUSBAND OF 35 YEARS AND FATHER OF 3, DECIDES TO CHANGE HIS SEXUAL IDENTITY AT THE AGE OF 55. HIS RATIONALE IS THAT "I DON'T AGREE OUR BIOLOGY DETERMINES OUR GENDER."

IS IT GOD WHO NOW WALKS SIDE BY SIDE WITH THE SELF-ABSORBED AND SELFISH WHO CANNOT CONSTRAIN THEMSELVES? WHO ARE FOOLED THAT DRUGS AND SURGERIES CAN SOLVE SELF-INDUCED HEALTH PROBLEMS? WHO PROCREATE AND 'PARTY' WHENEVER THEY HEAR A SEDUCTIVE TUNE? WHO SUBMIT TO SATISFYING A CONFLICTING BIOLOGICAL URGE NOTED FROM CHILDHOOD?

HINT: MY WORDS ARE METAPHORICAL "FRUGAL CHARIOTS' OF
POET EMILY DICKINSON. THEY WILL PROBABLY TRANSPORT NO
ONE TO THE LAND OF TRUTH. THE DEVIL'S LIES ARE TOO
CONVINCING.
