Have you ever met a drug addict and didn't see a "devil" spirit: in them? They even call alcohol "spirits." I have seen that devil in more than a few preachers and atheists. But what the author might call addiction, I might call "demonic." Where I see a personality that is other than the sober alcoholic, the author might see Schizophrenia? I guess it is all about our perspective?

I have been in those churches in the South where they have more devil in them than anything. The best thing to do is run to the door and get out.. Sometimes, I will get right up in the middle of the sermon when I see that "devil" coming out. I guess ritual sacrifice might not be too far away from the way they slaughter a loving God's name but I never figured how one could be a Christian on Sunday and a Masonic Preist the next unless they were struggling with powerful demonic forces, Schizophrenia, or addictions? In any case, there was not a lot of verifiable information in your post but a lot of food for thought. The Masons are losing members by the droves. I wonder what new forms the demonic Masons will reinvent themselve in to become a part of this new age of enlightenment?
