Subject: The Ultimate Deception!

Illustrious Master! I love religion! Yep! Love it! Love it! Love it! People are willing to kill and die for religion, especially God and country! Get two religious groups fighting in a religious war and they can really work themselves up! Now one group sends 21st Century Star Wars weaponry and just mows 'em down by the thousands. The other group sends kids with rocks or bombs tied to their waists - same effect! Works Great! Yep! Yep!

Now there's nothing wrong with secular humanism, relativism, "I'm okay, you're okay" kind of philosophy because G_d is basically considered irrelevant and that's cool but secular humanism can never do the damage "religion" can do. The big problem with relativism, is you can only stir up so much trouble if everything is relative and everyone is into it for themselves. Mix a little fear, a little terror threat, a little patriotism, family values, some absolutes and a "good" religion and an "evil" religion, two different cultures and you have a powerful combination! Whole civilizations are at each other's throats and wanting to kill the other en masse! This is so hot!

Now, I said to myself, if I can get the Christian preachers to preach this from the pulpits, and on their radio and TV programs, I can kill a whole bunch of birds with one stone: 1) of course, it is a wonderful opportunity to snuff people of both faiths - population thinning, I guess you could call it; 2) this will completely discredit Christianity in the eyes of the secular humanists who will see it as another bloodthirsty religion hell-bent on world domination! 3) I can continue to distract these so-called "Christians" from their true faith and finally, 4) the uranium hardened weapons Amerika uses just keeps on killing - men, women, children for years and years to come. Sorry to the original Babylon, I've moved on to bigger and better things.

Now best of all, New Babylon (Amerika) emerges as the undisputed "Master of the Universe"! They thumbed their noses at everyone - the United Nations, NATO, France, Germany, Belgium and anyone else who would dare to oppose them. No spoils for any country that dares to oppose the Pax Americana! And now we see France and Germany trying to develop their own armies? Good luck! New Babylon spends more on military than the rest of the world combined, and the UN has nothing of her own to speak of but we let the charade go on!

I am so amazing! Evangelical "Christians" are totally clueless. They think they are on the side of the righteous - the good guys in white hats! They think they are bringing truth, justice, the Amerikan way, democracy and capitalism to the rest of the world, so it can prosper just like they have! The only enemies they see are the United Nations (about as worthless as the League of Nations) and the European Community (Ooh, aahhh) - the toothless old tiger, a bunch of "has-beens", "Sir so and so" and King or Queen - give me a break! They actually think those rag tag countries can compete with Babylon the Great? They are about to learn who butters their bread (buys their Audi's, Mercedes, Peugeot's, etc.), buys their wine and spends their tourist dollars!

Now a really bad fallen angel like me has made Christians think that white is black and black is white. You have to admit. I am the best!!!! They bought it "hook, line and sinker." They preach it from their pulpits, sing it in the choirs and spew it forth the TV networks. Rah! Rah! America! Teach those infidels a lesson! That will teach them to attack us! Remember The World Trade Center!!! Stamp out evil! Free the world of dictators!!! Save the world!!!

They are so naïve, they can't imagine that the Bush clan - Rice, Wolfowitz, Ascroft, Rumsfeld, etc. are anything but honorable Christians who open every day in earnest prayer meetings! Meanwhile in the name of truth, justice and J.C., they are squashing dissent at home and abroad. You are either for or against them. There is no in-between! Their mission is righteous and no one can stand in the way! This doesn't remind me much of the J.C. we knew, but what the heck! That's what deception is all about!

Now New Babylon has the will and the means to wage war on any who would stand in her way! Who can stop her? Our empire, the New Babylonian empire, is the greatest empire in the history of the world! And you know what the irony is? We have most of the "Christians" on our side helping! American flags proudly fly in the churches. Patriotism and the gospel march hand in hand! Woe to any "Christians" who would dare to oppose this move! They will become the laughing stock, pariahs, outcasts and eventually just plain eliminated as their "brothers and sisters" think they are doing G_d a favor!

This is your humble servant, Dracma, writing from my great territory, Amerika, the New Babylon the Great, our ticket to KINGDOM POWER!!!

Deceitfully yours,

Dracma, Overlord of Babylon
