Catholic Fundamentalists enjoy listening to people explaining why they don’t, and “simply can’t” believe in God.
Their reasons for varying degrees of disbelief have one motivation: “I want to do what I want to do and I don’t want any interference.” Thus do the demons of Pride open the mind’s door to Envy, Greed, Gluttony, Anger, Lust, and Sloth.
Unbelievers justify being ruled by their vanity by saying, “God could not have created everything the way the Bible says, eight or ten or twelve thousand years ago. It’s not possible.”
The more remote they can make God, the less reason they have to obey the Ten Commandments that are His operating instructions. Many are quite willing to believe in a God so remote and powerless that it took Him twenty billion years to get the universe to where it is.
Catholic Fundamentalism suggests a reply to disbelief: “He programs in three dimensions.” When that thought is introduced, we then explain, “He programmed energies and particles, compiled them into systems and beings, and downloaded them into The Creation Program. His huge program is what our computer-graphic movies only look like, actual three dimensional reality.
“Each of us is one of His beloved free-will programs. So far, you have let your free will be too heavily influenced by evil spirits who want to separate you from God so they can devour your soul.
“Now, it’s time to get yourself straightened out. The smartest thing you can do is ask God, and His Mother, to supply your guardian angel with the strength to save your soul. That pilgrimage, in our age, often begins by understanding that He programs in three dimensions.”
Few who believe too little have the will to argue with that. They certainly do not have the facts to do so, and their faith in, and affection for, their demons is never strong.
