This is more of a simple point in an area of interest of mine: the "paranormal". Now, I don't dally in it, myself (thats just dangerous!), but I do watch documentaries and read stories. I have just this minute been watching a documentary I have on a disk, and a very interesting point on demonic infestation came up. It was said that a demon's sole goal is to destroy all [maid]kind. This point was also followed by another: that in a demonic haunting, the diabolical entity begins this task by destroying the family unit, by tearing it apart. In this age of conflict, nothing could be closer to the truth: this is an age where nearly all that is good is twisted and made to appear undesirable, and what is wrong is made to seem desirable. Among those good things is the concept of family and dependence. Family units are encouraged to go their own ways, to separate, to be "independent" of one another. This story of diabolical haunting seems to be a small-scale case of what is happening in the modern world this very day. The forces of darkness are at work, pulling apart the harmonious bonds of love and interdependence in their efforts to destroy maid altogether. Just as in the documentary I watch now, the only way to fight this demonic influence is by reasserting the bond of family and the principle of Love. Unfortunately, most don't understand that message, and the central reason for this is because of the vilification and trivialization of faith. People don't believe in fundamental Good -- nor to they believe in fundamental Evil. Could there be a greater tragedy? Let us pray that someday soon this grave situation is remedied. -- Willow Marina-Marie

Thank you for this very insightful comment. Indeed it is true that in the current world demonic activity on the "macro" level, affecting the whole society is more significant than such activity on the "micro" level, affecting individuals and families one by one. It is one reason why those of us who resist the demonic pattern of the overall society are often more subject to attacks from the Forces of Darkness. To them we are "escapees" or "pockets of resistance" to their overall domination. But in the end darkness cannot overcome light.
