religious zealots know satan. they live his creed. ← they think God is making them do what they’re doing but it’s really that tricky sneaky devil filling their souls with despair and hate for their fellow human beings. they have fallen under the spell of satan, the great deceiver. this only proves that ignorance is not bliss, folks! they’re opening themselves up to satan and serving him. for what empowers the devil most but fear and resentment and hate and all those other dark emotions that make for persecution and wars? satan’s favorite son adolf knew that so well! and he gathered the ignorant flock and tricked them into serving his father.
see the possessed christian(!?) speaking in the devil’s tongue!see another heiling her praises to her true lord!
