Slade,
This reminds me of someone in the news today: Saddam Hussein. What an
evil man he is, and he uses division to achieve his ends—the U.N. being a
perfect example.
I
have also noticed this about ALL evil people. (What psychology terms “Sociopaths”
or “Anti-Social Personalities”, who obviously have NO conscience.) As
you can learn in “People of the Lie” by M. Scott Peck, (who says
that “Evil” should be a diagnosis) that evil people often have very
charismatic personalities, good looks, education, and are even very socially
respected people. They can also be the obvious scum of the social ladder. Often
these types enter into Christian fellowships to take away followers after
themselves. (so I hear—I haven’t personally experienced this.)
What
I have experienced is a man of this nature who used his persuasive personality
to come between a man and his wife, persuade her that she was being poorly
treated by her husband, and get her into an adulterous relationship—eventually
breaking up both his and her marriage so they could “be in love”
forever together. This same man is very good at spreading slanderous
divisions in her family, and causing divisions by spreading mistrust from his
lies. This is how he keeps everyone from being against HIM, by getting
them to go at each others’ throats.
This is one reason I get really irate at
folks spreading slanders on TT. It is very demonic!
