Is Satan running this country? (I'm not religious, but..)

Paul Lee

This thread is inspired by my experiences in the thread about Sex Education in Schools.

Full disclosure.... I was banned off that thread. A few lessons learned, but this subject probably needs it's own thread anyway. Ireland is entering a kind of Dark Age where:

Abortion on demand is OK
Teaching children about masturbation is OK
People are being imprisoned for non payment of VAT while pedophiles get off free.
Lying is acceptable (if you're of the "liberal" persuasion.)
Speaking about mass immigration is "racist"
Speaking about the origins of new violent trends is "racist"
Thinking there are only two genders is some kind of crazy idea.
Free speech is "racist" "bigoted" etc.

Like the title says above, it's as if Satan is running the show here. There's a kind of evil in the air. It seems to be contained in Marxism. It doesn't matter what you call it really but it has the following characteristics:

• Unaccountable Political control.
• Centrally controlled monetary policy based on debt and infinite inflation.
• Housing "crisis" alongside empty houses (akin to suspending gravity)
• Laws being drafted by private elite entities and new global government organisations/ NGOs (UN, NATO, EU, Open Society (George Soros and the remaining Koch Brother) and passed without consultation.
• Referenda being re-run when the usual suspects don't get their way.
• New "Hate Speech" Laws (which only promote hate by suppressing dialogue).

Ireland is going to hell in a handbasket and very few seem to care. The same scenario is being played out in the US, South Africa, Sweden, France, Germany, Venezuela, Chile.

People talk a lot about things they know nothing about. It's as if we've forgotten history yet again. A fertile ground for evil.

satan doesnt exist and if you're not religious its amazing how closely yr opinions match a right wing catholic's

Say a decade of the rosary and you'll be grand.

statements i made:

OPs views match those of a typical right wing catholic

what you presume to glean from the above beyond whats there is of minimal interest beyond as a rorschach type test of whatever it was you were itching to say anyway

Any more judgements of people or their religion to make? Any more negative connotations to make to someone ? If you don’t agree with someone’s opinion it’s fine to say so... it’s not fine to generalize or make an”hip” comment against a religion or a persons beliefs

Paul Lee

Thanks for your kind messages.

You sound a bit nuts to me OP.

LaFuton

OP makes perfect sense
this is not new sadly
yes folks, the devil is quite real and he's getting desperately powerful
but God and Holy Mary are real too and she will crush the head of the serpent. but not without our willing support and Love.
idle minds has let the tentacles creep across the land to pierce our children's hearts
we are already enslaved to joyless pursuits
countless attacks on the/our/your church going unpunished (yet) the evil one has his agents in it surely but it is them that needs removing and destruction not the whole thing
meanwhile nobody is switching off their tv despite all that's involved in that industry
look at poland, Hungary and other countries, they are returning to the faith and prospering for it


Michel Rodrigue (i think thats his name?) spoke recently of this, as did our own fr pat collins, something is happening and people can sense it

you would have to be a dumbass not to sense it

all the new age spirituality trending now is just Godseeking whilst trying to keep the human ego.

the average Catholic is a good person, i know its fashionable to attack them but they're not the enemy

Religion is stupid.

Nothing about being "hip". Putting restrictions on yourself and how you live based on a book written by some lads 2000 (or however many years ago your particular franchise of religions book was written)years ago is stupid. Trying to limit how other people should live their lives based on your beliefs in said old book is even worse.

NaFirinne

If your a God Fearing Christian then yes it certainly looks like there is a satanic Spirit controlling many minds in the country today...Although pretty much the same for the rest of the world.

I suppose we can just look forward to how it all ends up.

You mentioned exactly (((who))) is behind it all in your post!

BorneTobyWilde

Ireland is gone far far far left, and it's not good. So left that anyone with a different view is considered wrong and needs shutting up. Dangerous times, look at travellers, robbing and beating pensioners into submission, but you can't say a thing about it or you're a racist.
The country is a joke, that guy who ran for Presidents got 23% of the vote for telling it like it is. 23%! and came second, second !
This country needs a Trump.

Abortion on demand is OK.... No its not, at least in Ireland.
Teaching children about masturbation is OK......No, it's not.
People are being imprisoned for non payment of VAT while pedophiles get off free.......This is true, to a certain degree
Lying is acceptable (if you're of the "liberal" persuasion.).....nah, not really. Take a look at the sheer volume of lies Trump has told that nobody cares about in any meaningful way. It's so common now that nobody bat's an eyelid. Would you class him as Liberal?
Speaking about mass immigration is "racist"...... No. Using racist language and crass generalisations about various immigrants and the stereotypes of their races is racist. You can't say "all Africans are thieves", then start belly aching when someone calls you on your sh1t.
Speaking about the origins of new violent trends is "racist".... Only if you incorrectly and unfairly lay those trends at the feet of other races.
Thinking there are only two genders is some kind of crazy idea.......nah, again, a vocal minority does not reflect society at large
Free speech is "racist" "bigoted" etc....... Nope. Racist speech is racist. You are free to say whatever you want. You are not free, however, to be immune from the consequences of what you say. Free speech isn't a 'get out of jail card' to spout your Ill informed drivel without being held accountable. People think it means they can say anything and not have to deal with the fallout. It does not.

Satan is not real. People who identify as satanic are, for the most part, taking the piss. They're using it to point out the ridiculous nature of grown ass people with the wealth of knowledge of the entirety of human history at their fingertips..... Yet still believe a 2000 Yr old zombie Jewish carpenter will save their ass if they believe in him.

The people who do believe in Satan are known as Christians

You disagree. Thats fine. So why do we need hate speech laws?

Is Paul Lee a Gemma O'Doherty sleeper account?

Teaching children about masturbation is OK...... who is?

and honestly, it seems like a good idea to me. We got enough of catholic guilt the last time.

The sad thing about the OP post is he is not a troll ( most likely ) and is genuinely sincere about his beliefs and opinions.

It could be confirmation bias, I get a huge amount of cooking and recipes sent to me 'suggested for you' because I look up a lot of cooking-related items recipes.

The OP at this stage has probably been bombarded with 'suggested you' by evey conspiracy theorist, right-wing groups, religious groups, videos explaining how news is manipulated and how the others has taken over the world, the others being the 'lefty liberals'.

The thing is its never explained what the motivation of the liberals is, why are they doing it?

I'm not a believer but I'd call myself a secular Christian. I do have a desire to believe in God even if I can't quite buy in. If we cant look to the transcendent then we're genuinely screwed. It turns out that we need God whether he's real or allegory. Civilisation depends on it in a very real way. Why does just about every culture on the planet believe in a God? It turns out to be Darwinian selection. Down through history- don't follow God, then you don't get to pass on your genes.

Don't shoot the messenger- I'm just quoting scientific researchers such as Michael Woodley and Edward Dutton. It makes sense too if you think about it. And we can see the results of deviating from that, reading from the list above which isn't exhaustive by any means.

I think the original post is a metaphor rather than them believing in the devil.

And I think quite a few people posting here know what he means but still decide to undermine him or her rather than engaging with the subject matter.

Im not religious myself but I can understand the metaphorical thinking behind the post.

antivax the mother/father who has anxiety tendencies and worries a lot and decided to hesitate a bit about vaccinating her children they are just wrong.

Those who promote antivax with pseudoscience knowing they are incorrect are the epitome of true evil becaue their desire for notoriety, their neediness, their need to control others has allowed them to see children harmed and not care.

People are holding "demonstrations" by lying in the street. They're jumping on trains in London. You think we haven't gone too far left? I took a picture of a guy holding a sign in Cork which read "Green is the New Red" or the other way around. I can't remember and it doesn't matter. It had the hammer and sickle painted on it. Ironic that this was at a "die-in". The Communists were good at actually killing lots of people so it was quite appropriate. Go and visit Paris, Malmo or London to see where it all leads. And rest assured, it's coming to a street near you.

I'm telling my kids we're going to probably have to leave Ireland when they get old enough due to what I call "The Great Sh*tholification of Ireland"- Can't do it now due to personal circumstances.

Liberals will be relieved to hear the likes of me will be leaving to let them enjoy the fruits of their labour. I wouldn't like to interfere. In the meantime maybe a few more people can wake up before it's too late and save themselves.

realitykeeper

I fully agree. That is why I don`t vote anymore, there are no suitable candidates. Even in certain referendums, I find myself precluded by the question posed.

E.g. Do you favour more liberal divorce.

Only people who favour divorce can answer yes or no to that question.

Have you seen some of the threads here on gender reassignment and what doctors are doing to children based on warped ideology.Prescribing children anti puberty meds etc.

Some people have lost faith in the medical field and its caused them to question vaccines,its nothing got to do with them being evil or attention seeking its just genuine concern that the medical industry isn't looking out for the welfare of their children.

The liberals are extremely dangerous and very much on the spectrum of being victims of their own insecurities.

I was once leaning left and hung out with liberals, they're a bit nuts to be honest.
Full of contradictions and cannot see or understand their opposition.

Being a moderate seems to be a better option for someone like myself, principles before personalities etc
