Well, it was the same in Jesus' time; Mockery was big then... The Jews were especially suseptible to this kind of thing: as they belived in some 'Transcendental God' of which was 'Invisible'... And which was no 'match' for the Roman Empire, or the 'Legions of Rome' The Romans had made an artform of war, and the demonic. There were spells of every kind, Plagues that would send chills up your spine... Complete and utter degredation of life and 'Liberty as We know it now.'... So, Also, Mockery was big in Germany before and during the 'Holocaust'. 'Mockery' is the main tool used at Abu Garabh prison in Iraq... If you look closely at the pictures, you can tell, 'Mockery is big in demonic circles... The dark side loves to mock. They feed off the energy of mocking. Like Lizards Squirming and Writhing and Baking in the Sun. They never sleep, and when they do, it's not peaceful.
