Re the rumors about famous people flashing satanic hand signs
I do'nt know how serious these famous people who have been rumored to have been flashing Satanic hand signs are about Satan, but nevertheless the rumors bother me. Some of the celebrities I have seen lately, have looked somehow phony to me, as they stand in cathedrals, with their face-lifted heads bowed and their eyes closed. The scripture says, that we should "avoid all appearance of evil". That is, we should avoid doing things that even if they are not evil, appear to others to be evil. The "rumor-mongers" say the hand signs being flashed are signs of support for the U of Texas "Longhorns" football team. I wonder, why ca'nt the U of Texas football fans come up with some kind of sign that does not so closely resemble the hand sign used by practicing satanists? The nation is filled with sports teams whose enthusiastic fans do not use any kind of hand sign. The Chicago Bulls (bulls have horns) basketball team fans are enthusiastic, but they do not find it necessary to use a hand sign depicting a creature with horns. Lots of sports teams are named after animals with horns; nevertheless, their fans do not flash satanic type hand signs.
Observing this phenomenon, I thought of this near-death experience or vision I read about on the internet. The man who had this vision experience, described how he saw sailors sitting at a bar, getting very drunk. As he watched, often when a sailor got very drunk, a change would be wrought in his mind and body, which allowed the sailor to become posessed by an evil spirit. Some of the sailors that he observed sitting at the bar, were not humans, but ghosts of sailors whose addiction to alcohol was such, that they spent their time in the bar, hoping to posess the bodies of living sailors so as to be able to enjoy alcohol through their bodies, because they as ghosts could not partake of the alcohol themselves.
I wonder whether societies that promote alcohol while persecuting substances such as cannabis and hashish, become especially susceptible to being infected by satanism. Christian scripture does not condemn moderate alcohol consumption, or cannabis--some have even said that the sacred anointing oils used by jews and early Christians contained cannabis--but Christian scripture does condemn drunkenness, proclaiming that drunks "shall not inherit the kingdom of God". Substances such as cannabis, when used in a disciplined moderate fashion, are more likely to produce non-Satanic religious experiences than alcohol is.
Looking at Texas, I wonder, how much difference is there really, between Satanism and forms of Christianity of the type popular in places such as Texas, which proclaim that salvation is predestined and that it does not matter what people say or do?
Seems to me that people who flash these Satanic-type hand signs, are being childish, teenagerish, immature, and so to speak, retarded. Seems they are perhaps an example of sons and daughters of wealth and privilege, whose lives are so "blessed" (they apparently think that all these things that they get from the world and the fallible creatures that inhabit it are from God) that they never attain to any knowledge of God, because in their material prosperity they are able to find happiness without God.
Maybe in this age of fantastically horrifically powerful nuclear weapons, Christian leaders think that they have to appear to be Satanist in order for their nuclear deterrent to be taken credibly. But is appearing to be Satanist really necessary? Do the cons of appearing to be Satanist, outweigh the pros? There have been many Christian leaders of nuclear powers, who never even once, flashed anything resembling a satanist hand-sign. How do these apparently satanist persons know that flashing such hand signs strengthens as opposed to weakens national security? If leaders of a nation that is more Christian than nations it competes with flash satanic hand-signs, who does that strengthen, their nation, or the competing nations?
