It is here we find this ‘flattering vanity of delusion’. We are so convinced by our own lies and deluded senses that we cannot see what is coming. What is real? What is truth? Yes, they have the worlds wisdom and knowledge, but to know real truth, well that cannot be done by the flesh.

From week to week I sit down, daily, to pursue what the Lord God has called me to do. Day’s pass by, weeks move on, and months on the calendar don’t stop running their course. Now it is almost 2010. On the theatre, the 2012 Epic is raking in millions. This doesn’t surprise me. Americans are so bored with their lives and humdrum work a day schedule, along with the bills, they need or so it seems such things. Americans love to be frightened, excited, saddened, and go through story lines in a movie as if it were real. All of it, though, from the sound stage, setting, lines of script, and the makeup on the actors is for one reason. To make a movie that sells. To sell you the public on the entertainment of it and make millions in the process. In a word, it is delusion. Sometimes based on fact, or part fact, written and produced by man, that brings forth a story line and message. As a result the actors, or many of them become more than an actor, they become idols and stars. They rake in millions portraying characters that the public becomes enthralled with.

Bacchanalia: another word for Debauchery, A wild gathering involving excessive drinking and promiscuity. An orgiastic festival in ancient Greece in honor of Dionysus (= Bacchus)
When the Roman Empire would conquor a region, they would usually incorporate the better avenues of that society into Rome life. In the case of the Greeks, they would incorporate the food, literature, Gods, and language into the life of everyday Roman citizens. Today, even in America, we can trace certain things from the Roman culture. In this we find a myriad of Gods and traditions that have found their way to our land.
