Evil

We wonder why sweet, innocent kids can grow up to be evil monsters like Lanza or the idiot in Colorado. Society points to mental illness. Yet none of us desire to see these type of people in psych wards. We want them executed. So we don't buy the nut job story, do we?
This is gonna make some think I, myself am in need of a shrink, but it must be said. We all look at these monsters, and call them, well... monsters. We feel the Word "evil" roll off our tongue. Some even say demonic, but without dealing with what that moniker means. I absolutely know what that moniker means. I find nothing in Scripture that tells of an end to Satan's reign until he is bound after the Tribulation. He is full at work today and his demons work the same as they did in Biblical times. We let Hollywood make demon possession into a joke. It is not.
We introduce our kids to the occult through cartoons, books, and later movies about "cute" witches and warlocks. We make things like vampires into sex symbols.
We make a holiday that worships all of these things and gear it towards those sweet, innocent kids, expecting them to wade through life with everyone saying demonic characters are just things to first be startled at, then laugh at.
Then we are back to my first point, wondering why so many decide to do evil, monstrous things.
You can't entertain evil spirits and expect every child to come away unaffected. I can't keep my neighbor's kids from being affected, but I can mine, to the best of my abilities.
So we don't joke about evil spirits because we know they really exist. We know demonic possession is still prevalent. The only cure is Christ. And where Christ is, no evil spirit can enter, but we can place ourselves in their outside influence through the only gates they have access to, our eyes and ears. "What concord hath Christ with Belial"
I don't post this to ridicule anyone who believes different, but to give you something to ponder.

2 Corinthians 6:14-18 KJV

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
