"The
gospel of Satan is not a system of revolutionary principles, nor yet a
program of anarchy. It does not promote strife and war, but aims at
peace and unity. It seeks not to set the mother against her daughter nor
the father against his son, but fosters the fraternal, spirit whereby
the human race is regarded as one great "brotherhood". It does not seek
to drag down the natural man, but to improve
and uplift him. It advocates education and cultivation and appeals to
"the best that is within us". It aims to make this world such a
congenial and comfortable habitat that Christ’s absence from it will not
be felt and God will not be needed. It endeavors to occupy man so much
with this world that he has no time or inclination to think of the world
to come. It propagates the principles of self-sacrifice, charity and
benevolence, and teaches us to live for the good of others, and to be
kind to all. It appeals strongly to the carnal mind and is popular with
the masses, because it ignores the solemn facts that by nature man is a
fallen creature, alienated from the life of God, and dead in trespasses
and sins, and that his only hope lies in being born again."~Arthur Pink
