The idea of magic is something that humans have searched for throughout all of history. They have hoped that magic was something that exists, to look into the future, change the past and help them along in the present. To defeat enemies, manipulate love, and gain power greater than any other. But in the search for this magic, humans learned that they would not find it alone and so they began to find the ones that would help them find it. Ones that they named gods and deities. Now, I am going to speak from the views of a Christian right not saying that that is what I am, but I in no way want to offend anyone when I say that these gods and deities were not necessarily ones that they should have looked towards, at least in perspective from a religious world. The magic that these people possessed was not magic at all but a belief in something bigger than them, a belief that something bigger than them would get them what they wanted but instead it led to fear. These “gods” they worshiped instilled a sense of fear in people. From the Romans to the Egyptians, Greeks, and Mayans, their beliefs all relied on their gods being angry and being the all-powerful gods. No rain, meant they were angry, no food, was a threat, and the death of someone was a sign. These people were fearful of the ones that they instilled power into. Some, however, were not as fearful of their religions, in fact, they used the fear that others had to their advantage and they worked to become powerful themselves. People are blindly following their leaders, someone who they do not even know, someone who says they were appointed by God, or maybe even was God. And Have we learned? No. we still are! I would say that this was not the first time humanity has blindly followed a leader and it will not be the last time no because if you are a Christian, you know that there is one more “divine leader” that is anything but divine going to come down to deceive humanity. And will we fall for him? Will we know who he is? Are we going to blindly follow the Antichrist?
