Once upon a time, Christianity created its own enemy and called it Satanism. Everything was a matter of good and evil, plain and simple, black and white . . . but this is a gray world. The two extremes, Christ and Satan, finally merged in the Christian militia. There was always a powerful attraction there; now it's been fulfilled. Christ and Anti-Christ in one. Only took two thousand years.
"We have no need for military might. We wield two of the sharpest swords ever forged: Faith in our left hand, Wealth in our right."
"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful."
—Seneca The Younger (4BCE to 65CE)
