... the controller of those evil powers who haunt the air ... that spirit who is now active in those who are disobedient to God ... walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment ... In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes ... Train up a child in the way he should go ... bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord ...
Eph.2:2 (Bar); Eccls.11:9 (KJV); Judg.21:25 (KJV); Prov.22:6 (KJV); Eph.6:4 (KJV)

We'll liberate those children! We'll protect
their right to do whatever they elect
to do. And if it's "wrong"? What's wrong is right!
Whatever is right in their eyes is right!
-- well, short of outright murder, short of theft.
What? Children don't know which hand's right or left?
Ridiculous! They know what pleasure is!
"Child, if a thing feels good, then do it!" This
brings freedom from traditional restraint!
True freedom! What? You say their souls they taint
-- that they're not being taught the "Godly" way
and need parental guidance? Parents? They
just interfere with the right to do wrong!
"Raise hell, child! Be free!" (Thus goes Satan's song ... )

"Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me; for you are not on the side of God, but of men"... all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the pride of life, is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world passes away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides for ever ...
Matt.16:23 (RSV); 1 Jn.2:16-17 (RSV).
