Alas, it is as if this Son of the Enemy has hacked our system. He knew our tricks and has told parables that counteract the pitfalls of religiosity. Further fortifying his disciples from my seduction, he has taught them a prayer. It’s a damn good one too! It involves submission and humility. It continually delivers them from my grasp! And he’s given blessings of meekness too.
There was also a new kind of spiritual disturbance. It was as if Moses had re-appeared. Have gave commandments! Bloody commandments! It pained me to my core. I have been unable to sleep since that sermon on that mountain.
On a side note the Possessors you have sent have been very ineffective. He casts them out and people start praising the Enemy!

Your have done well. Religious leaders are very often our fifth column; they will likely not be too hard to convince. Men like power and instant rewards.
In fact, try to cultivate this same dispossession in these so-called little salts, these disciples. Nudge them toward a bawdy, showy, piety! Make them think of how GOOD of disciples they can be, over against the other disciples of course! :)

Jesus follows the Enemy’s… his father he says… will totally. He has christened himself “salt” and “light.” He calls people to repent and to live lives of abundant goodness. He’s infusing people with their natural states, unclouded and compromised by all our works! They follow the Enemy’s will!
Worse still he has chosen to make others little Messiahs, little salt crystals and little flickers of light! Its enough to make you sick!
Every once in a while that same disconcerting feeling, your know like a blackboard screeching—like your stomach has just fallen a thousand feet below the earth, comes upon me, and I know a Prophets words have re-incarnated themselves on this earth.
I’ve begun to rouse the religious leaders into opposing him.
