Father Chad Ripperger asks demons during exorcism why they rebel. Their answer is the hatred they have for Jesus, and especially Our Blessed Mother Mary is so complete and overpowering in their being, they wouldn’t ever change their decision. The irrationality of vanity, hubris, a superiority complex over humans drives this vile and inexcusable hatred. They simply cannot accept that God would make fleshly humans and become one, then exalt them over the angels. I don’t get it. We may be lowly flesh at our starting form, but even many of us are still not the Biblical fools of the fallen. Loving our Creator shouldn’t be that hard. What a bunch of jerks they are.
They hate Jesus and Mary so much because if they had any inkling that they might be forgiven and allowed into Heaven, it was squashed by Mary's free will decision to say "yes" to the incarnation and Jesus' free will decision to die on the cross. They're totally screwed now, and dammit, they're taking down humans with them. It's all pride.
Occams razor elegantly provides the explanation of the wanton murderous chaos that we presently experience. Yet another convulsive assault by evil once previously witnessed in the Stalin gulags, the Mao 'cultural revolution' and Nazi concentration camps, 100 million or more dead in the 20th Century. Millions more added and adding now.
It goes in cycles - which proves a continual earthly war of good vs evil that hasn't been definitely won yet by either side. What appears to be an escalation is the coordinated global attack on all humans via the bioweapons - not just murder isolated in pockets. Quite impressive for the evil side of the battle if you think about it. The good side is now preparing a counter-offensive - the question is will we see it in our lifetimes?
Yes. Agree. Though I believe the 'good side' was engaged from the outset, (ie. refusing mandates and put out of work, fighting back from the get go). A full blown counter-offensive may well be in the offing. One prays that is the case. The speed with which matters unfold today suggest we may come to witness very much in the next clutch of years. Keep in mind though, much of it comes to a potential final head if NATO/US sling a few tactical nukes.
You're right the counter offensive started with the 30% of lepers who refused to comply. God is waiting to unleash His power but until more people return to Him, He waits, while we go on our atheistic/secular merry way thinking we can vote our way out of evil.
For beleivers read malachi martins hostage to the devil. For non believers..people of the lie by m scott peck. This agnostic/atheist psychiatrist ended up believing
Thanks for the references Duchess. I actually was going to include an additional reading list with the "People of the Lie" as one of the books recommended. Martin is also good reading and his interviews with Art Bell are riveting.
I think that would be a good thing still to do...most people do not believe in evil...but I think it is time we taught people how to recognize it...so a list of books would be helpful, including to me.
Thanks for reading ClearMiddle! This world war has just started unfortunately. It will probably last at least 100 years if not longer. More drugs, drugs, drugs, drugs and less humans. Like you say, we will lose the battles if we don't even see the war.
This is an excellent article on evil. I concur with what you are teaching. Knowing that God wins in the end is a comfort and a help with every day that passes.
Hi Charlotte. Happy? election day? I was thinking about today and how many people think voting for other humans will solve all the evil in the world - it won't. As you say, there is only one that wins - God and we don't even need to vote for Him - just believe. Also, the great thing about belief is that it is NEVER canceled out by the majority of unbeliefs or cheating. Our belief always counts and always makes a difference in our lives for good. So, I vote for God!
Right, you couldn't have said it better, I vote for God too. He only allows evil to do their nastiness according to His purposes and usually it is to wake up humanity to their awful situation so they will turn back from complacency and ask Him for forgiveness and repent of turning away from" doing our own thing". People today don't know about the Ten Commandments and how following it can bring happiness and peace to a society.

Evil loves to feed on the psych of a person who indulges in moral superiority and a bloated intellectual ego.
Such a good article. Thank you Napoleon.
Evil is as the dEvil does.

There appears a certain intensity of escalation.

Ps. Loved this ..thank you!
I think you are the first I have noticed to acknowledge that we are indeed engaged in a world war.
I like your writing style. Would that more of those with eyes to see will write about what they see.

Great article, thank you. I’d add one thing to your list of countering evil - pray!
Absolutely! I thought about that last night. Prayer should be in every single item on that list. Will add.
