That's a critical place, no doubt. But if it were that obvious one wouldn't have to look intently.

Intently implies those levels of Narcissus, or the people who wrote the book of Genesis.

Or like those who pioneered Christ's portrait.

@Mukiri,
There have been several modes of production in the history of human society. But can be summarized as four or five...Slave mode, Feudal mode, Capitalist, Socialist and Communism(yet to be achieved, might never be achieved)
In each mode there is an infrastructure (modes of production) and superstructure (Ideology, laws, politics, religion etc)

During the slave and feudal modes, religion was the ideology that drove the superstructure...so much that:
1. The Slave owners and the Feudal Lords were chosen by God to be that, while the slaves and the serfs also had to maintain their positions.

2. The Feudal Lords built churches and every slave had to go to church, obey the Feudal Lord and cultivate his shamba 360 days/yr.

3. Each slave or serf had to list in the military. That is why it was easy for tha Jews to fight the wars in the middle east. Read about 30yrs of war between catholics and protestants and the treaty of Westphalia(1648)

4. In the process arose the masons, butchers and the growth of towns. Masonry was very secretive and passed from one family member to the other...later they became capitalists.
Why tell u all these?
NOW CHECK THE NEXT POST

That was some write-up but truth be told I didn't get the gist of it... nor do I think it addressed my plea of asking us to avoid devil worship and/or reach out to those practicing it.

If your words were geared towards referring me as a fanatic; then I'll embrace them. That is a word like any other. I have no shame to shout from the mountaintop that I live for God and God alone. I have tried different types of 'lives' and they've all left me empty.

God is tried and tested. He was, is and will be. Everything else dwarfed.

1. Get to know the history of religion. How it all started by God creating a very canning angel... and refusing to destroy the same angel but would easily destroy man

2. Know also that the Devil and God are inseparable, in the mind of a believer. There is NOT a single church function that will end without calling the two names. The name of the Devil and the name of God. NEVER.

3. Religion has been used as a tool for oppression for eons..."it is the opium of the oppressed"

4. Lastly, didnt mean to call you fanatic....but its good to know the limits of everything in life.
