Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour- 1st Peter 5:8 NKJV 

Dearest Diary,

Truth-be-told it’s a bit dreary in hell these days.  

I have no words for how much I despise the entire Christmas season. None. I literally loathe it. Literally. Every single day of this dismal season is worse than the last. I feel perfectly ghastly from November 25th to January 6th.  Every miniscule aspect of this blasted holiday is just so nauseating and counterproductive for me. The carols, the joy, the community, the Christmas Eve services, the Nativity scenes, the people doing good and reevaluating their self-centeredness and narcissism. 

It’s just so DEPRESSING. 

I have done everything in my power to commercialize Christmas and marginalize the Christ child. I have fought to obscure the meaning of Christmas and keep those silly humans fixated on frivolous inconsequential idiocy such as gift exchanges, cookies, snowmen and Santa. To my credit, I have experienced a measure of success. Few people these days even think about Jesus anymore, even at Christmas. Nonetheless, I have yet to realize complete victory. DRAT! Christmas is still the one time of year when even some heathens pause to ponder God becoming flesh and dwelling among men. 

Insert retching sounds here. 

Nevertheless. All is not lost.  I must focus on the positive to get through this vile season. I know can do this. After all, I am Satan. I just need to work on my self-talk, then everything will fall into place and I will be my old self in no time. 

Okay, so here goes:

People are becoming more vicious all the time. Some are shamelessly feral.  I do like that. The moral fabric of western society is fraying. Which is super good news.  Without a foundation of Judeo-Christian values, it is becoming more and more difficult for people to keep their worst impulses in check. There are those who have convinced themselves it is heroic to become physically violent with those they disagree with. Others are simply so uncivilized they fully enjoy harming their fellow man. I do like that. The ridiculous propaganda I have pushed relentlessly has finally paid off. I have been telling people for centuries it is wholesome and healthy for everyone to be their most “authentic selves”. Thanks to my leadership and the help of pop-psychologists few realize their most authentic self is really just the darkest part of their sin nature. 

This is good. I feel better already.

There is a movement afoot to aid anti-Jewish terrorist organizations. Thanks to my stellar efforts public schools quit teaching history long ago. No one teaches current events anymore. Poorly informed morons are duped by shallow, silly, emotional appeals to support groups bent on the west’s destruction. People fall all over themselves to support groups that despise their very way of life and every value they hold dear. It’s a beautiful thing. The terrorists would cheerfully kill every single one of those protesting on their behalf and the pseudo-intellectual activists are too stupid to realize it. 

SO GOOD.

However, I’m just getting to the best part: it is the presidential political season in America again. There are some who have become so disgusted with the whole bloody mess they have dropped out of politics altogether. They don’t even vote. The majority are Christians and I really like them. Those fools haven’t figured out that refusing to vote in a fallen world is a vote for evil. I just love ignorance and moral smugness over bad choices. 

Then there are those who have (thanks to my efforts) made politics their religion. Those idiots want all of the benefits of living in a Christian world without God. I love them. They are all just so wonderfully well-intentioned and delightfully deceived.  They think freeing criminals will make crime go away, legalizing drugs will eliminate addiction and abortion will ensure no child will ever have an unhappy upbringing. But by far my favorite kind of person are those who believe that if they can just get the “right” person elected everything will snap back into place again. Morality will return, the economy will make a comeback and all the evil in the world will vanish into thin air if the “right person” gets elected.

Ha. As. If. 

These fools fail to understand that the God of the Bible CANNOT and WILL NOT bless the mess they have made with their sinful foolishness. More than half of the voters would rather have legal abortion and “gender affirming” surgeries for children than a politician who champions sound economic policies. It’s reflected in their votes. A nominee who is staunchly pro-life who espouses sound economic policies will have a tough time getting elected even in many conservative areas. This is because most Americans want unfettered access to abortion more than they want economic security. LOL. It’s not as if economic security is a deeply spiritual aspiration. It’s basic and fleshly. 

Even many Christians have yet to figure out that the God they serve will never bless a nation where more than half the people choose abortion as their highest value. 

It’s just not done!

Even if by some miracle they get the person they think they want God will not bless that person’s leadership until the majority gets their priorities in alignment with the Bible. The whole stupid country is doomed unless there is a massive movement of repentance. Ha ha! However, most Christians are not praying for a movement of repentance they are praying for a human leader to get them out the mess they made. 

I love it!  

Well diary. I do feel better. It may be Christmas but all is not lost. As long as I can keep them from repenting and praying for repentance everything will continue to devolve right on schedule. 

Yours,

Satan
