Screwtape Letter to the Illiterate



                  Why do you elitist traitors do what you do?

Did you not read the back of the book to see who wins?

Do you really think that a created can overcome 
the Creator who holds all things into being. Devils advocate, if I was God and lost, 
I would destroy everything rather than hand it over 
to evil.

Are you so frightened of Satan's lies 
that you believe there can be no forgiveness 
of your deeds?
I am still waiting for one of you with the integrity 
to fall into hell with an "I was wrong', 
(one last caress to humanity, manuscript), 
exposing you all.

Did you not know that if you were to serve humanity instead of destroying it, then you would be given 
the things you steal now out of sheer gratitude and respect.

Instead, you ally with one who doesn't esteem you. 
Satan does not and will never consider you a friend.
He loathes you. 
When he is finished with your services 
he is going to take great pleasure in dragging you 
into the smallest hole available. 
He will torment you by reminding you that you 
betrayed a God who loved you.

So true. It seems good to some to go their own way and thumb their nose at God but God is still our Creator, truth is truth even if you don’t believe it. Well done.
