Greetings from Below

To the minions at large in the great pursuit of our Father’s Ultimate Exultation. Greetings to you and yours, your great persistence is building there on earth a kingdom that will one day rival that of our Father’s own homeland here below. What a grand and glorious time we live in, where we can each day accomplish much, and with such ease. Our enemy is daily and continuously losing ground due in large part to our two greatest champions of our cause, the media and politics. Dare I say, thanks to those who came before us who worked the unclean thoughts of Christianity out of the schoolrooms and the political arenas? It is always easy to win the argument when you control the rules of play, so to speak. I jealously wish I had been on hand to plant that "question of when life really began" and imprinted the argument for the rights of the individuals to choose. Using the patient’s ideals of freedom and patriotic leanings against him was brilliant. Those demons really paved the way for us.

Still, let us not keep from taking the credit, reaping the benefit of souls lost to these musings. While things are easy now and hopefully will remain, there is always the threat of reformation in the wind. These curious little do-gooders can turn on you in a moment. Consider my dear nephew Wormwood’s famous folly, low these many years ago. On second thought don’t! His failures would taint the delicious joy of our recent success in the California Supreme Court in demonstrating our ability to redefine almost anything, even marriage and the family.

Spinning the truth is so easy and fun these days.

Your ever-attentive senior,
SCREWTAPE
