I am totally in agreement with Mr. Neumayr's assessment of Europe's slide to the dark side (or "Going to Hell," as it were). My fellow townsman, Mr. Skurkiss, is also correct in his further evaluation of the problem facing the Continent, and quite frankly, us.

Allow me, then, to pose this question. How many of you out there have heard your priest, minister or rabbi mention ANYTHING about the Devil from the pulpit as of late? I certainly haven't. It has been years since the priests at my local parish have had anything to say about Satan, as they prefer to gloss things over in any mention of the evil that faces the world. The Devil has been minimalized as far as mainstream religion is concerned, and, in their opinion, he apparently has no influence on our daily lives. And the Main Stream Media isn't any better. I remember Time magazine a number of years ago showing a dejected-looking demon on its blood-red cover with an accompanying article of Satan's "rehabilitation" by Christian churches. Basically, the Head Demon has been emasculated and he no longer has the power to corrupt and damage our lives. How wrong they were (and are)!

p>Mr. Skurkiss is correct -- the Devil plays for keeps, and those who are unwilling to accept that concept are in danger of being lost forever. br> -- James J. Bjaloncik br> Stow, Ohio /p> p> This pretty much sums it up for me, from Romans 1:21-25: br> /p>
