The Devils Lessons

12 October 2004

🔸🔹▫️▪️▪️▫️🔹🔸

I remember reading a small bit of the Scewtape Letters by C S Lewis about:
“the story takes the form of a series of letters from a senior demon Screwtape to his nephew Wormwood, a Junior Tempter. The uncle’s mentorship pertains to the nephew’s responsibility in securing the damnation of a British man known only as “the Patient”. – Wikipedia.
I was seeing all these strange things happening in society which were bad but other people were not seeing this, only a few some of the time. So I wrote this to help to explain it.

This is not politically Correct and would probably upset people. I wanted to present this in a simple way that is hopefully entertaining, light, but will hopefully show people that all is not right in the world today and that we are all allowing so much evil into our lives and it is doing so much damage but we just sit back and do nothing about it.
 
 

Lesson One: Picking up the basics.

We take up this story from deep down under where the human cannot dwell for the living conditions are far beyond what the human body can withstand.
This could be considered a normal well to do family except that the head of the family the Father is working for Internal Affairs For Constant Human Suffering And Destruction. He is currently the Director of this thriving company.
His success is far beyond the works of his predecessors and he is held in high regard in his community and by his boss. In fact this man is only one step down from the leader of this nation.
 
Today he has returned home from work and is being asked by his son who admires his Father with overflowing admiration. This boys only wish is that he can become at least close to the high level of achievement that his Father has achieved during his prosperous run with the company. Let us now listen in on the conversation – the son has a question for his Father.
 
Son: “Oh Father please do tell me of some of the tricks you use to fool those Earthly People.”
 
Father: “Well, I suppose that I had better put more time into your training as you are getting much older and need to learn the tricks of the trade. You must be all of twelve years old son, nearly a man?”
 

The boys Mother was sitting nearby in a chair knitting with genuine silken brimstone threads that were gathered from the Upper Regions, which was very near the lands of the humans.

The Brimstone Threads are very expensive due to the effort needed to get them and because of their beauty and intense aroma of burned brimstone.


Every now and then intense red and purple sparks flew this way and that with a sharp crackling sound which was accompanied with the smell of brimstone.
Small wisps of smoke rose over the knitted object as the needles clicked together while she worked on her creation which was a pair of socks for the boy who was being discussed at this very moment.

She turned to her husband, her eyes were aglow with disapproval. Her eyebrows raised in peaked V shapes as she opened her full lipped mouth to rebuke the man that she had given her life to.

Mother: “No darling. Your son is thirteen. You men are all the same, always forgetting birthdays or any dates that are worth remembering.”
 
Father smiles with a sheepish grin on his face: “Sorry dear. I will try to do better, I just cannot seem to remember these things. That has always been your department dear.”
 
Mother: “Okay I know how hard you try. Anyway I’m off inside to call my sister Medusa, she keeps trying to dye her hair blue but it always changes back to fiery red after a few days after each attempt to dye her hair another colour. I guess she should just accept it and get used to hot red, anyway I think it suits her. See you two later. And Honey go easy on the boy!”
Father: “I will dear. Give Medusa my regards.”
 
Father now looking at his son: “Lets talk about helping others to start off with. We have effectively caused havoc in this area.
Humans often spent many hours helping one another out in the past especially when times were tough.”
“But these days we have them humans pretty well tied up and fooled my son.”
“You must remember that many humans these days are not true followers of God, so we are fooling Christians and non-Christians together as one large and easily impressed group.”
 
Son: “Oh I see. How do we have them all fooled Dad?”
 
Father: Well its like this. With very careful planning we needled men into disliking some characteristics of woman and visa-versa. We applied to mens and woman’s selfishness.
We got woman to start looking at men distrustfully.”
 Son: “How does that help us Dad?”
 
Father: “Actually it does us a lot of good. You see people will not help one another if they dislike each other. Humans like to think of themselves as groups.
Men groups, woman groups, children groups etc. Men are the protectors of the human race. They are the physically stronger of the two – male and female.”
Son: “That is not what Mum says Dad.”
 
Father laughs: “She is only joking son.”
“Anyway we plant some small seeds that grow over a decade or so feeding the different sexes with distrust. I mean, isn’t this funny, imagine distrusting your very own kind! Think of all the animals on this planet and yet humankind jumps at the chance to “pick on” their own kind.
This is a totally destructive thing to do and mankind falls for it so easily because of an emotion that we call Selfishness and also Greed.”
Son: “I have heard of this Dad. We studied them in school recently. Selfishness is very destructive and can cause much unhappiness when it is a part of somebodies life.”
 
Father: “We also use some very effective techniques called Statistics and Polls to help generate sympathy towards the minorities.
The law of the land is helpful for changing opinions and the way that people deal with one another.”
 Son: “What are ‘the minorities’ Dad?”
 
Father: “They are the ‘smaller groups’ who are grouped together due to some quality that connects them all together, something that they all have in common. 
Those of the least power in a country due to the fact that they are such a small collection of people can be called a minority.
But imagine what would happen if that small group gained power.
The effect is amazing. All of a sudden the majority – the largest human collections of people, are being ‘put out’ due to all the claims and demands of the power hungry minorities.”
Son: “That’s sure sounds clever Dad. I can see what kind of confusion this could cause.”
 
Father: “It sure is fun to watch my boy!”
 
Son: “Do these lessor groups get laws changed for their personal benefit?”
 
Father: “They sure do. And what is really amazing the fast rise to fame for the minority groups leaders and how they love their new fame.” Chuckle, chuckle.
Son: “Ahhhh, selfishness and greed, huh Dad?”
 
Father: “You bet son, you have hit the nail on the head my boy as usual.”
 
Son: “Gee thanks Dad.”
 
Father: “It is a real pleasure to have such a willing student as yourself. You puff me up with pride my boy.”
 
Son: “Thanks Dad, I try real hard because I want to please our leader and I want to be the best just like you Dad!”
Father: “And you will be I am sure.” “Anyway these lessor groups cause large amounts of trouble throwing the rest of the countries people in confusion.
The leaders of these lessor groups know full well that they would never have gotten this power if they were not a part of this lessor group and they ‘milk it’ for all its worth.”
 
Son: “What do you mean that they ‘milk it for what it is worth?”
 
Father: “That means that they intend to get all the money and fame that they can get out of the deal or any deals that develop in the future.”
 
Son: “Crafty.”
 
Father: “You can bet on it son. Otherwise why do it?”Son: “Why indeed.”

The Battle Of The Sexes

Father: “We call the conflict between men and woman as ‘The Battle Of The Sexes’ and what a battle it is. This subject alone could fill up many encyclopedia sets all by itself. For most humans this is a painful subject like politics and religion, but true to form, humans work hard at teaching their young all about their rights as a female or male ensuring that ‘The Battle Of The Sexes’ will continue to fight onwards without anymore input from us at all. See what I mean by us planting the seeds?”

Son: “Oh I get it. How very clever and productive. It is amazing. So we plant the seeds and mankind continues the ‘project’ for us causing themselves misery whilst they do it. It is like a time bomb. Incredible.”

Father: “We, in the Department, are very clever you know. We try our best.”

Son: “You sure do pick some winners.”

Father: “We predict that the ‘The Battle Of The Sexes’ conflict will roar onwards for many centuries yet. But it doesn’t look like it would ever deflate because men and woman love to be selfish and greedy. We work hard at coming up with new ideas just like ‘The Battle Of The Sexes’ project as often as we can. The boss loves these winners as you can imagine.”

Son: “Yay, The Darkness rides the winning wave again!”

Father: “It sure does son, it sure does. Anyway as I said earlier, we work at causing as much conflict between the human sexes and then let them keep feeding the seeds until they grow to immense proportions causing devastation for many years to come.”

Son: “Uh-huh!”

Father: “We also worked hard at getting each member of the human family many ‘rights’.”

Son: “What do you mean by ‘rights’ Father?”

Father: “Good question.” “We get the laws of the countries changed so that the individual family members become equally important in the family – legally. Each member of the family unit has special laws dedicated only to that person and other like that person. It can be very confusing working out these laws due to them working for everyone and against everyone at the exact same time. Each family member is legally equal to all other family members.”

Son: “How does that help us Dad?”

Father: “Well, if all members of a family have equal power then each one of them is going to often want to lobby for more power at some time. And if the Father does not have Full Father authority anymore then other members of the family will argue with him over the many family issues that often come up. Especially issues that we demons create”

Son: “Hold on Dad. How does the Father lose his family authority by being legally equal to the rest of the family.”

Father: “Because the rest of the family ‘feel’ that they have the rights to stand up against the Father of the family. Often the Father is called or thought of as the Oppressor – the boss came up with that one, its a doozy huh son?”

Son: “Uh huh.”

Father: “Look it up in the dictionary if you don’t fully understand it son.” “We did the same thing in the work force. We got men and woman working together in the same buildings and doing the same jobs to undermine the mental power of the male, while building up the mental self belief and pride of the woman at the same time. And we also ensured that they both had the same ‘rights’ to ensure that conflict would be continuous and productive.”

Father: “Some of our major tools are the educational system – for brain washing purposes, and the Countries Law System. Can you see where they can help us?”

Son: “Yes I sure can. Reaching the masses is what it is called.”

Father: “You bet. And we sure do reach them. What is even better is that they enjoy what we teach them because all our teachings are based on ‘what life has in store for the individual’. People love this stuff and we can’t disappoint them and so we don’t. It is to them that all of them is special and royal and they demand to be thought of as special or royal and to be treated as so, as well. Of course all of this works for our cause as well.”

Son: “Okay, I get it. But what about the Mother and Child?”

Father: “Aha, I know you asked about them because you think that nothing can become between Mother and child.”

Son: “You got me there Dad. That is exactly what I think.”

Father: “We did it and it wasn’t that hard at all. You know of course that we got men and woman all those special laws and the children as well. We chose the teenage years to cause the conflict between Mother/Father and child due to the teenager being rather selfish during those years and the parent being rather tired. We made sure that many laws were changed and introduced, which would allow the teenagers many new options which more often than not these teenagers demanded these options and when they were not allowed them they took what they wanted.”

Son: “You seem to be just repeating the same tactic over again. How come people haven’t noticed what we are doing?”

Father: “First people in general don’t believe that we exist and this is due to our mythical status in human history. Second humans are, I believe to some degree, arrogant. They think that there is no God and that they are the special ones on Earth. They often put themselves above God. They are often overconfident.

Son: “But Father, we were taught in school that humans are rather clever.”

Father: “And your teacher is right, humans are clever. At times.” “They have invented and made many things. In some cases they have even duplicated Gods creations. Humans are strange in the way that they deal with each other and their own offspring. Humans often let selfish thoughts and emotions control them when they really should be obeying their creator and using emotions such as love, care and happiness.”

Son: “Oh, I see.”

Politically Correct

Father: “One of my favourites is PC.”

Son: “What’s PC Dad?”

Father: “Politically Correct thinking. It is a great joke here. Humans fell for that one hook line and sinker. PC is when you don’t call something what it really is. PC users have to be correct in their language and manner, the funny thing is that PC is not correct it is actually a false way of talking about things.”

Son: “How so Dad?”

Father: “We for instance many humans today are given titles that are either not true or not deserved. Amazingly some humans are breaking Gods laws but these humans get huge amounts of respect due to their color or the things that they do which are obviously not what God wants humans to do.”

Son: “Got any examples Dad?”

Father: “Sure son. In the past a woman who stayed at home was called a mans wife. Today she is often called a Home Executive.”

Son: “That’s a big name and it sures sounds very important.”

Father: “It is supposed to sound important. but at the same time the title is totally worthless. Other names have been tried for this position such as Home Maker but Home Executive seems to be the winner amongst house wives, it gives these woman a false pride. They appear to prefer have pride in this ‘title’ than in what they ‘actually do’ for themselves, their family, God and humankind. In human families the woman plays a very important part by having the children and guiding them with her wisedom to becoming good adults for God. We played havoc with this by creating Jealousy in the family. We ensured that woman thought that the males in the family had it made because the males went to work each day instead of stayed at home.”

Son: “Oh come on Dad nobody would fall for that one.”

Father: “I am afraid so. Many woman felt that they were truly missing out on the good life.”

Son: “You mean that you actually convinced woman to give up their independence in the home for the slavery of the work force.”

Father: “That is exactly what we did.”

Son: “I had heard of humans conflict in this area at school but we had not done an in depth study on it. I find it so hard to believe that woman effectively threw away all those precious years with their young to slug it out in the work force. How do their wages compare to mens wages?”

Father: “Not good son. Not good at all. But they struggle on, forgetting that they could be at home do virtually as they please. We have taught them to have eternal hope in themselves and their personal worthiness.”

Son: “What where the real advantages for these woman by staying at home Dad?”

Father: “They… ”

Mother walks in.

Mother: “Okay you two dinner is ready. Wash up and lets get to it!”

Father: “Thank you dear.” Turning to his son the Father said “We will carry on this lesson after dinner son if you are still up to it.”

Son: “Oh yes please. This is getting exciting.”

After dinner they sit on the patio sipping drinks. Mother has gone over to her sisters for a visit.

Son: “C’mon Dad let us get on with my lesson!”

Father: “Okay son where were we?”

Son: “The advantages of woman staying at home?”

Father: “Oh yes. Well they had a lot of time to themselves. They were not constantly ‘under the thumb’ of an employer or constantly hassled by customers and the like.”

Son: “Those are good advantages.”

Father: “True, they sure are. Other advantages were being able to see and feel the outcome of their work, something that many people in the work force don’t enjoy. Woman got to nurture their young. Today many males are taking over the role that woman had in the home due to the woman trying it for a few years and then deciding that they did not want to continue the responsibility that they had started. Still we have not been a total success in this area with woman.”

Son: “Why not Dad?”

Father: “Well strangely enough there are still many woman who stay at home and look after their young. Some Christians, some not. And those Christians are a hassle and hard to get through to. I will give you some more information about Christians later, its about their ways to try to defeat us. I believe that we have done more to harm their cause than they have done to defeat us. Christians are our true enemy.”

Son: “I can see why Dad. I have done some studies on those Christians and they are a confusing army of fighters who are mostly lost in their cause for success. But they are mostly loyal to God and His angels. What was the full amount of time that woman had to deal with bringing up a child in the home?”

Father: “For about 16 to 18 years per child. After that the woman used to become a respected member of the household and the rest of their life was lived in respect and mostly as she wished. Often woman took up causes to help one another and the world. But thoughts have changed due to some gentle work on our part and woman in general have developed new thought to their worth and value to themselves and the world as a whole. The real hard years are the zero to five years old, after that the child is either in the schooling system to be guided and looked after giving the woman a big break and her work is taken over by the ‘system’ as it is often called.

Son: “But what about those pesky Christians?”

Father: ” Ah, well many of them school their children at home. But even in these cases the woman only really has it hard from zero to five once again due to the fact that the child is mentally older and stronger by the age of five so this child can now look after itself and help its Mother as well with the home chores etc. So you see that the older the child gets the easier life becomes for the Mother. Home schooled children tend to be a few years ahead of their public and private schooled peers mentally. This is due to the one-on-one attention that the home schooled child gets with his or her parents. Home schooled children, like their Christian parents, are our true enemies as well – they are well known for thinking out of the square.”

Son: “So the woman’s lot at home is not so hard as is often said in the worldly news and entertainment media?”

Father: “The mothers lot at home can be a struggle but working anywhere can be a struggle. But we managed to get it across to these woman that money was very important, much more important than the hum-drum existence of staying at home and having children, cooking, doing the chores etc. We also gave them the want for power, and that great feeling of being more important than the other members of the family unit. And more important than nurturing some little child who only wastes her precious time away. Anyway all that free time was bad for them as it caused them to wonder about things and want more. All we really did was give them what they wanted – more work and less boredom and being paid for it all at the same time. What more could they ask for?”

Son: “I get your point Father. And my guess is that this is to help disrupt the Family?”

Father: “Son, this method nearly completely destroyed the family unit and it may still finish the job as time goes by. What a job we did with this one. families were in disruption and have been like this for decades. Children are unsure of who or what their Mother and Father are and who is the actual leader in the family.”

Son: “Too many cooks spoil the broth..”

Father: “Ahh, you know your human history son. Well done. And as you said ‘Too many cooks spoil the broth..’. Both the man and woman were fighting for the same power in the family. Leadership was being contested with a vengeance. And you know the story when a human woman is upset.”

Son: “I sure do Dad. ‘Hell hath no fury as a woman scorned.’”

Father: “Once again you come out on top son. This quote is partially true to some extent but you know as well as I do that if a woman were to meet Satan she would bow down her fury in a bare fraction of a second and become a fully fledged Christian without any further ardue.”

Son: “Thankfully woman, like most men, refuse to believe that Satan even exists.”

Father: “Well said son. Go to the top of the class. A mere woman, and a man, could never come anywhere to the pure fury of our leader Satan. Our true leader.” “This really wasn’t the woman’s fault as she was led to believe that she could be grander and have more than she currently had. She was carefully guided to think differently that’s all. I actually admire the human woman for her mental and physical strengths are amazing, and her love for her husband and children is so strong that we cannot get past it and that is why we had to influence her thinking somewhat away from her family and more towards her self. We needed her to think of herself and that would separate her from God and her family, but especially God and her husband for they could help protect her. The human woman has that incredible strength that comes from her own love for those that she cares for”

Woman Is Powerful

Son: “The woman is that powerful?”

Father: “She sure is but she does not have the confidence to realise her immense power of love. Don’t tell anyone or speak out loud about this but a woman of pure, innocent love for her children would be a real struggle for any of us to fight.”

Son: “You have to be fooling me Father for a human woman is physically weaker than us and I always felt that she had no power at all. They cry all the time and lose their temper often from what I have seen on the Earthly Viewer. What strengths could a human woman possibly have.”

Father: “This is one of our greatest secrets which we will never let those on earth know and that is that the woman has incredible power, and this power can only be released through her love for others. Even her tears of love and worthiness are full of the deepest respect from heaven for her work is the true work of God. We must do all that we can by keeping woman off the track for Salvation. This is one of our major tasks.”

Son: “Can she harm us.” His voice a bit shaky as he pondered this new fact.

Father: “An honest tear from an honest respectful Christian woman would burn clean through your skin, she is that dangerous to us. But don’t be scared or worried as she is only interested in power on earth. The physical world is a huge attraction for her.”

Son: “Have woman always been like this?”

Father: “No son, there was a time in the past where she was very strong against us and her strength was so strong we only broke through in the odd case. The majority of woman were strong and their minds strength built on a foundation of solid rock.”

Son: “Thankfully we broke through.”

Father: “It is one of the greatest single events we ever succeeded with since the great fall of our leader. If you can’t get to the man then get his woman and that will bring the man to his knees. Well that’s all for tonight. We will continue with these lessons tomorrow night.”

Son: “Okay Dad.”

The very next night and the conversation went like this.

Son: “Dad I am ready to learn some more” as they sat on the deck chairs on the patio about to sip
fiery drinks as is often needed where they dwell. Of course the Father has a high position so his home is close to the bosses house, needless to say they don’t have worry about heating due to the close proximity to their bosses home.Father: ‘Okay. Well tonight we will look into the Christian confusion racket that we concocted. It was carefully designed and works a treat. Many centuries were needed to slowly confuse the massed, then simple-minded, well meaning but confused Christians.”

Son: “I heard that dedicated Christians are very dangerous to us.”

Father: “You are right. But we have them pretty confused.”

Son: “In what ways Dad?”

Father: “Well for instance we have them fighting over the Holy Trinity.”

Son: “Oh that is where most Christians believe that God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are all one.”

Father: “That is right son. You and I know the truth but those Christians keep bickering over the issue. In fact one of the greatest advantages to tricking a Christian is that they love to prove each other wrong. They bicker and fight against each other over the same simple things, if they really thought about who God was then they would see that most of the things that they fight about are not important or not worth fighting over. And certainly not worth killing one of their own over or killing anyone for that matter.

Son: “I have heard that there is power in numbers. So why is it that Christians fight so hard to be kept separate from each other and that the congregate in small groups turning their noses up at other Christians?”

Father: “Oh boy son you have once again asked a truly worthy question and I will do my best to answer it for you. The worlds Christians did once stick together until we weaved some doubt into this with some self doubt. Unity of Christians is something that many Christians have a great of. Have you studied Revelation yet?”

Son: “No Father but I hear that we will be studying revelation soon. I hear from other students that Revelation is a very special text from the Bible.”

Father: “It sure is son. We can talk about Revelation another time. Currently we have a situation where many Christian groups have kept each other segregated from each other and they are actually happy to be that way. Often each group calls themselves ‘The only way to God’ and other special things to stand out in the crowd.

Son: “So you are saying that Christians have let selfishness and arrogance into the church?”

Father: “Sadly for them yes. It sure makes our job easier when they self persecute themselves in this manner. Pointing The Finger has become a favourite pastime for the Christian. They seem to like reading the words of Jesus and doing the opposite.”

Son: “Even though I cannot agree with their faith I have to say that it is sad to hear that they have lost their way so much.”

Father: “True, my son. But they are trying.”

Son: “What is their major hang up

Father: “Mainly just their self image and attitude towards themselves.

Son: “How is God helping them?”

Father: “God sends prophets and others to help the human race. He often influences books that feed the masses with good solid Christian reading material. Because of the warning that Jesus gave about false Prophets mankind is very weary of those who claim to be prophets and the like. Gods book the Bible has always held true for the people of the world and thankfully mankind has many times ignored the Bible over the ages since it was first fully compiled.”

Father: “I have a master piece for you though.”

Son: “What is it Dad?”

Father: “Life for humans is about how they deal with their lives and about the choices that each individual human makes during their lifetime. Science has caused so much confusion in this field of thought that humans are slowly losing grasp with what is real reality. We are doing our bit to cause as much of this scientific confusion as we can.

Son: “Have you any good examples Father?”

Father: “Sure, here is a very good example. It is obvious from watching humans that they care deeply about their individual health or at least the ones that we haven’t managed to control yet. Humans often speak of their health and what they can do to be individually healthier than they currently are all in the hope that they will life a longer and happier life.”

Son: “Sounds a smart way to think.”

Father: “It is to a degree, but they often state that it is good to consider living in the country because that is a healthier way to live and they are right but for totally different reasons. They think that good work, good food and the fresh air of nature is the reason for long life when people live in the country.”

Son: “So what is the reason Father?”

Father: “The real reason is the very essence of nature and its refreshing energy that humans need to keep healthy. The very ground that is the earth reeks of the energy that humans need to survive healthily. When they live in the city they can spend large amounts of time away from the energy of nature.”

Son: “Oh I get it.”

Father: “Sometimes a psychic may mention the energy of the earth or of living things and an interest in this type of talk starts to grow that is when the scientists speak up and ‘prove’ that such things are nonsense. We would be a lost lot is science was not on our side I can tell you boy.”

Son: “I can see why Father, I surely can. Wow if I were a human I surely would love to grow up to be a scientist and work for our side as well.” Said the boy smiling.

Father: “We have people situated all around the world to help us as you already know and we use them to step in and quickly speak out against psychics and the like. The funny thing is that the worlds people consider psychics to be kooks but in many ways psychics are closer to the truth than scientists.”

Son: “Do we have any use for psychics?”

Father: “We sure do. Most of them, like most people, are opinionated and often stubborn. Many psychics are unintentionally working for us and we use them to spread the ‘nutty’ flavour of the psychics to the world. But in many ways psychics are strange people and they behave strange or different from the rest of the people on the planet. We figure it is due to them not being able to deal with seeing spiritual things and the like, because this is all that makes them different from other human beings.”

Son: “I learnt that psychics often dress in weird clothing and talk in a manner that most other humans cannot relate to so the psychics are only really useful for the small amount of information that they can give about a persons future or other information about a persons past or past lives.”

Father: “The problem for the psychics is that they are often wrong about their predictions.’

Son: “It is hard to believe that they would be wrong about anything because of their spiritual connections.”

Father: “True son. But psychics don’t do follow up work with their customers for if they did then they may have some chance of guiding the customer towards the customers chosen path. Psychics don’t realise that the paths that they see or are shown or feel are just the paths of the present moment. Depending on how the customer acts or reacts to situations in the near future will determine if the customer stays on the chosen path or not. Anyway our main work is to apply to the psychics vanity and self belief in themself while at the same time convincing the psychic that they are somewhat personally weird.”

Son: “How do we do in this field?”

Father: “We do very well. God told humans to keep away from people who deal with the spirit world.”

Son: “And…?”

Father: “These days humans flock like starving seagull’s to the many ‘professional’ psychics to get spiritual information. It for us is a great situation and it is a direct ignoring of Gods suggestions and warnings for mankind.”

Son: “Oh well done Dad. You are truly an inspiration to me and my school friends.”

Father: “Thanks son but you know how it is in the Internal Affairs For Human Suffering And Destruction. We work mostly long hours until we reach the top and only then we can get some breaks and have some reasonable time for ourselves. The IAFHSAD is the ultimate place to work and I am please to say as the director I am very proud of myself and all that I have done as a member and I hope you do just as well son. Your praise is worthy of me and what I am truly worth. By the way son we chaps at the office pronounce it as AfsSad. It is much easier to say that way.”

Son: “Oh Dad..!” The boy gushes these words out with total and complete admiration for his Father.

Father: “Hey and remember to tell your school friends that I will be free on the weekend to receive their praise and presents.”

Son: “Hey that’s just totally hot stuff Dad. Lucifer and Lucifee will be oh soooo jealous when they here of this. I will be so popular at school, with you being available to receive compliments again. Oh gee Dad you haven’t been able to do this for months. I will tell everyone at school tomorrow, they all know how important you are to the greatness of things and our continued success for the future. Oh boy everyone’s going to grovel to me tomorrow. This is truly great!”

Father: “What we do is very important son and what I can achieve is important as well. But you of all people know that. Back to what I was saying though, the city is the place of pure reeking and heavy flowing sin and that is another reason for people to live in the country. People in the country work hard and often don’t have time to waste on things that are sinful. So along with the lack of good old country essence the cities are full of sin and this sin is a perfect.”

Son: “What about the family as a structural unit?”

Father: “The family unit is not structurally sound in the cities.”

Son: “What do you mean by that?”

Father: “Well in the country or rural areas the individual members of the family feel happy to be with one another while also seeing the advantages of being together and enjoying each others company. Each member can see how each other member of the family can help satisfy their needs and the needs of the family unit. They want to be with one another. They love each other with a depth that is often missing from families that live in the cities.”

Son: “But Dad how come the city folk don’t learn how to have the love of those in the country?”

Father: “Many reasons son. Many indeed. When a person is away from something for many, many years that person to some degree forgets what it is that they are missing or how it feels to have what it was that is missing from the far past. We believe that the city folk have forgotten what love really is in its pure essence, and they survive on a simple duplicate of true love to get them by. This is one of the reasons that many city people are on some sort of drugs to help them survive for they cannot survive without Gods love and love of their fellow man so they delve into addictions and the like to try to satisfy their spiritual needs with physical wants.”

Son: “It is kind of like they threw away love and gained sin to replace it.”

Father: “Well sort of, but you must remember not all people in the cities live in sin or total sin.”

Son: “Oh I gather that to be true Dad. But the many that do live in sin must put a dark cloud over the rest of the people in the city.”

Father: “They sure do. This is why cities are places of much crime and misery. In recent times mankind has tried to add greenery to the city streets and concrete buildings, walkway’s and the like but it is just not enough. The hunger for self worth, money and public and self recognition are the main reasons people live in the cities.”

Son: “Mankind can be very self destructive Dad!”

Father: “Yes and no. We have gone to great lengths to lead mankind to where they are today. Much they have done themselves but our meddling of the Internal Affairs For Human Suffering And Destruction has sure helped. I know that we have other departments but nobody could compare to our brilliance.”

Son: “Don’t you mean darkness Father!” Said the boy laughing.

Father: “That’s a good one son.” He laughed and then said “Well I think we had better retire for the evening my son, but we will continue this lesson tomorrow evening after we have partaken in the daily toil of devouring the latest beast cooked by your hearty Mother.

Son: “Okay Father. I will enjoy the continuation of this exploration into the depths of the human existence and its further destruction from the finer and more swifter Internal Affairs For Constant Human Suffering And Destruction. To the glory of AfsSad and to our continuing future.”

Father: “Good night son.” And Father and son went their individual ways towards their places of rest.

After dining the next day, chores completed and time for sitting, enjoying after dinner drinks and the company of the eldest and finest female of the abode, the Mother and wife. The males in the family return now to their journey into the depths of human existence.

Father: “Another sneaky but very efficient trick we used was changing peoples thoughts from the Gospels to Fairy Tales.”

Salvage: I the act of saving a ship or good from a shipwreck or fire etc.
An allowance for the saving of property; goods thus saved.
