Moloch Rises

How dark are these times? Have pagan forces (i.e., Satanic forces) been unleashed into western culture? Heck, I don't know, but it really sucks that it's even a theory worth considering.

And in this regard, it's worth remembering that the number one response demanded by the pagan gods is fear. A woman many years ago converted from her polytheistic folk religion. She said it was liberating. Prior to accepting Christ, she spent her days in constant fear that she may have angered one of the gods.

Paganism is fear, just as Christianity is prayer. Which does our culture have more of?
