Yesterday, I received an e-mail from one of my younger readers inquiring as to whether or not there was a Satan Claus. She had just seen on television the horrible aftermath of two muslim radicals beheading a young 25 year old soldier, husband, father and wondered how and why this could happen.
Following is my reply to this young girl:
Yes, Virginia, there is a Satan Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and he appears side by side as the evil that is unfortunately in us all.
He relishes the fact that Western Democracies spend themselves into massive deficits plaguing innocent generations with this debt for years to come;
He rejoices in the fact that millions of babies never see the light of day and will soon to be joined by legions of euthanized seniors and the infirm;
He chuckles as he watches our youth waste away their lives playing vacuous and often violent video games;
He beams as our mass media successfully spreads pornography widely throughout an unsuspecting and very naive society;
He is proud that the top leader of the Western World loathes calling terrorism for what it is and finds all kinds of excuses for their terrible deeds;
He is mute but smugly complacent in the face of vicious and oft times deadly discrimination perpetrated against Christians and Jews throughout the world;
He cannot believe his good fortune when the Province of Ontario pays green energy providers over 80 cents per kwh in order to produce enough power to pay other jurisdictions to take it off our hands; all the while the poor among us are forced to choose between warmth and food;
He loves the scandals of governments everywhere where dollars are pocketed by their friends and cronies;
He is puzzled, yet delighted, when Canadian oil is spurned by the West for being ‘dirty’ while those same western governments gladly accept oil from countries which are on record as wishing their destruction;
He is tickled when otherwise most privileged citizens, such as our Senators, claim money for which they are not entitled, from the pockets of the much less fortunate;
He is most proud of those of us who, like David Dingwall, covet their entitlements;
He is encouraged by those amongst us who supposedly serve the taxpayer, do so for twice the pay, twice the benefits and twice the job security;
He is cheered on when our politicians think there is nothing wrong with cavorting with drug dealers and smoking crack cocaine;
He cannot stop laughing when we in Canada actually pay separatists to work toward the destruction of our country;
He is a fan of Justin Trudeau who, if push came to shove, would choose his native province over his native land;
He is beside himself with good fortune knowing that natives will continue to blackmail the rest of us and by so doing bankrupt themselves morally and us economically;
He is overcome with joy in the knowledge that the family and marriage, for centuries the backbone of our society, has in recent years gone out of style;
And, He is at peace when he looks upon our society where, more and more, there is no place nor room for God.
No Satan Claus? Nonsense, he will live forever; A thousand years from now, maybe 10 times 10,000 years from now, he will continue to corrode the hearts of our children and adults alike.
But take heart my little one, a wise-man named Edmund Burke once said nearly 300 years ago, that evil can only triumph if good people do nothing.
Thankfully, Virginia, there are lots of good people living amongst us today who will not sit idly by and let that happen.
As I see it …
