The lack of a conscientious existence of human kind can be blamed on one being only; the devil. Who, but the devil, could possibly interfere with human choice and reason-bending thought like an iron smith with heat to metal.

Only the king of the eternal inferno palace (or queen depending on the outfit) could calculate so thoroughly the exact moment to place ignorant thoughts in the minds of mortal men.

In the beginning, the word was with God. But, now, Hollywood, politics, gender studies issues, and racial conflicts have shown us that the devil has taken the word and twisted it in the collective subconscious mind of all humanity.

Take race for instance, no matter how much scientific research shows that human beings are essentially made the same, the separation of man and race remains.

And this can't possibly be man (or woman's fault). There is no way human beings can ever be responsible for that kind of ignoble thinking toward their fellow man/woman. Since it was the devils error that caused Eve to trust him; and Adam to blame her for trusting him- and making him (Adam) trust her- we must not be led into the foolish belief that man can think solely for himself.

It is the devil that sustains outdated traditions that would leave men of old to pillage villages, rape little boys and girls, annihilate and enslave whole cultures and burn women at the stake.

And who but a demon would throw salt on the earth-making food growth impossible for hundreds of years- just to prove that his group has the better ethnic and cultural stamp? This too, my friends, is the work of the unseen flaming hand of that hideous unscrupulous being down below.

Now as for sexism, well was it not the devil that hoodwinked the gentle darling ladies of humanity, starting with sweet little Evie in the garden?

Was it not the devil that entrusted the care of children solely-for the most part-to woman's daily activities? There is no way women-or woman-can be blamed for the way children are raised-even if she is the dominant care taker during a child's formative years.

After all, women are the weaker sex and thus incapable of being able to collectively change the patriarchal machismo shrouded systems that dominate in the world-and which of course, could only have been constructed by the leader of the legion of doom: The Devil!

As for the wars that are fought in the world today; the women, children and men slaughtered who had nothing to do with the cause of the wars; the natural environment made unlivable because of the war-all of this must be readily blamed on the one being that started all the earths' problems in the first place. That slithering snake!

And who might that be? You know very well who I am talking about my friends. Man, even with positive proof of reason and free will-must not equate his failures with his own folly.

Man must stand askance from his own consciousness and recognize that he was but a puppet-dangling from invisible strings motivated by a more advanced and hideous intelligence. After all, isn't man-for all his intellectual philosophical musings, but a cog in the wheel of evils swiftly advancing barge?

So my friends, I say to you, when future generations scream "Why did you people do this? Why did you allow this to happen? What have you done to Gods world?" We must not bow our heads in humble apology.

We should instead; raise our heads high-with arms stretched wide to heaven and declare what any man or woman of good conscience would "It's not our fault damn it all to hell! 'Twas the blasted devil that made us do it."
