The Devil's Beatitudes
If the Devil were to write his Beatitudes, they would probably look
like this:
- Blessed are those who are too tired, too busy, too distracted to spend an hour or two
once a week with their fellow Christians in Church - they are my best workers.
- Blessed are those Christians who wait to be asked and expect to be thanked - I can use
them.
- Blessed are the touchy, with a bit of luck they may stop going to church - they are my
missionaries.
- Blessed are those who are very religious but get on everyone's nerves - they are mine
forever.
- Blessed are the troublemakers - they shall be called my children.
- Blessed are those who have no time to pray - they are easy prey for me.
- Blessed are the gossipers - for they are my secret agents.
- Blessed are those critical of church leadership - for they shall inherit a place with me
in my fate.
- Blessed are the complainers - I'm all ears for them.
- Blessed are you when you read this and think it is about other people and not yourself -
I've got you.
