Uncovering Religion
2Timothy 3:1-5
Ephesians 5:11
 This message is to help us to see that what we have
accepted as a normal part of our modern culture is really a
pagan culture which was envisaged by a man known as the
wickedest man in the world: 33rd degree Freemason,
Aleister Crowley.
 This culture was brain stormed by philosophers like
Aleister Crowley and Helena Blavatsky whose writings have
influenced more leaders and role models in the last 100
years than most realise.
 This culture really is a repackaging of paganistic,
hedonistic philosophies from the past, which have been
cleverly impregnated piece by piece into our culture
through music, TV, movies and general media.
World View
Biblical View
Life is all about Self
Life is all about God
Attaining Wealth is the goal of life
Attaining God is the goal of life
Meaning of life is to be happy
Meaning of life is to make God happy
Serve self-interests first
Serve God and others first
Good deeds makes you good
Jesus sacrifice makes you holy
I determine what is right and wrong
God determines what is right and
wrong
If you want it take it
If God wants you to have it, receive it
There is no God so party
There is a God, so live holy
I’m not accountable for my actions
I am accountable for my actions
Live fully, try everything, do everything
Live holy, be prudent – consider God
Do what you want to do
Do what God wants you to do
 Within just a few generations we have gone from a
relatively descent and upstanding generation of the
40’s and 50’s to the depraved and sinfully fashionable
modern era.
 John Wesley said, “What one generation tolerates, the
next generation will embrace.”
 Each decade of the 20th century saw an increase in
indescent and immoral behaviour with a general mass
acceptance of it.
 The TV programmers of the 50’s were disgusted by the
shaking hips of Elvis, this is laughable in comparison
to what is deemed acceptable viewing today.
 During the 1960’s we saw the fulfillment of the life

works of 4 key players in a pagan revival which began
in America and spread across the globe.
The players are:
Helena Blavatsky (1831-1891) – Founder of the
Theosophical Society
Aleister Crowley (1875-1947) – Founder of the
Thelemite Philosophy
Timothy Leary (1920-1996) - The key figure in the
counter culture of the 1960’s
Anton LaVey (1930-1997) – The Founder of the Church
of Satan
 Theosophy: "Divine Wisdom," (Theosophia) or
Wisdom of the gods. The word theos means a god in
Greek, one of the divine beings, certainly not "God" in
the sense attached in our day to the term. Therefore, it
is not "Wisdom of God," as translated by some, but
Divine Wisdom such as that possessed by the gods.
The term is many thousand years old.
 Philosophy of Thelema: can be summed up as said by
Aleister Crowley in the Book of the Law, “Do what
thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.” This saying
actually originated from Benjamin Franklin.
 Timothy Leary’s input into the counter culture of the
60’s until today was the introduction of Psychedelic
drugs such as LSD as a journey into new realms of
consciousness, the use of anti-authority and rebellious
catch phrases such as, “turn on, tune in, drop out”,
“think for yourself and question authority”
 The Church of satan: does not involve the literal
worship of any being other than the self, but rather
uses “satan" as a symbol of carnality and earthly values,
of man's inherent nature.
 Joe Schimmel said, We can prove that Aleister Crowley has been
more influential on western popular culture than any other
human being. That’s quite incredible because he is also the most
highly regarded satanist... In the 1940’s Crowley wrote that he
believed that his new eon his movement would take off in the US
like no place else. What he needed to do was to get a hold of the
youth. He used to go to Oxford and other colleges to recruit
youth into his movement. He wanted their to be a youth
movement which would usher in the New Age of Crowley or
Crowleyanity... In the 1960’s [his work] got the leaders of the
hippy movement, the counter culture movement totally
enthralled with his ideologies. What’s incredible about this is,
[his work] was not only working in concert with these musicians,
but also with the leading academic rebels of the day, people like
leading sex guru Robert Anton Wilson, leading drug guru
Harvard professor Timothy Leary and leading homosexual guru
Harry Hay.
 The hedonistic, pagan, Eastern mysticism infused
philosophies which Crowley embraced and introduced to
the West can be seen in every facet of the modern culture.
 Basically every part of our text for this sermon is seen as
what Crowleyism embraces and is now flaunted in our
modern culture:
 2Timothy 3:1-5 “But mark this: There will be terrible times in
the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of
money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their
parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving,
slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the
good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather
than lovers of God — having a form of godliness but
denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.”

who has rejected God, points out that our culture believes
that:
Homosexuality is just an “alternative lifestyle.
We murder babies that are socially inconvenient.
We change marriage partners like a fashion statement.
We have abandoned the sanctity of commitments in all our
relationships.
Immorality and deceit have come to characterise the
highest offices of our nation.
Our entertainment celebrate adultery, fornication,
violence, aberrant sexual practices, and every imaginable
form of evil.
Chuck Missler reveals that over the last 30 years:
 560% increase in violent crime
 400% increase in illegitimate births
 400% increase in divorce rate
 300% increase in single-parent homes
 200% increase in teenage suicides
 75% drop in SAT scores
Each day in America:
 2,795 teen pregnancies. 1,106 teen abortions, 4219 teenagers
contract a sexually transmitted disease, every 64 seconds a
baby is born to a teenage mother.

 The problem today is there is a lack of fear of God, a
fear of consequences of actions, a do what thou wilt
attitude even if it hurts someone else.
 Morals cannot be taught in schools, because without
the Bible as our moral standard for behaviour, we have
no standard to follow.
 Since our culture has adopted a Crowleyian philosophy
of life, Christianity is increasingly being seen as a
deception and a hindrance to our humanistic, selfobsessed, man-centred society.
 Without a revival our country is going to go from bad
to worse.
 Unless the Church humbles herself and prays and
seeks God’s face and turns from its wickedness there is
really no hope for the multitudes.
 Unbelievers in this culture are getting harder and
harder and the only real answer is for God’s people to
stir God to revive us and perform signs and wonders
before the masses just as Christ and the early church
performed and bring them to repentance.
 Jesus tells us what the true disciple of Christ looks like.
Mark 16:17-18

culture?
Are you spending all your time in front of computer
screens chatting like a pagan?
Are you under the spell of the TV, Movies and Music?
Are you obsessed with entertainment?
Is God, the Bible and prayer taking a back seat?
If any of these things are so with you then know this,
Crowley has succeeded in deceiving you and keeping
you from becoming who you are called to be in Christ.
 Around 10 years after I was born, my Dad met a stranger who was
new to our part of the world. From the beginning, Dad was
fascinated with the newcomer and soon invited him to live with
our family. The stranger was quickly accepted and was around
from then on.
 As I grew up, I never questioned his place in my family. In my
young mind, he had a special niche. My parents were
complementary instructors: Mum taught me good from evil, and
Dad taught me to obey. But the stranger... he was our storyteller.
He would keep us spellbound for hours on end with adventures,
mysteries and comedies.
 If I wanted to know anything about politics, history or science,
he always knew the answers about the past, understood the
present and even seemed able to predict the future!
 He made me laugh, and he made me cry. The stranger never
stopped talking, but Dad didn't seem to mind.
 Sometimes, Mum would get up quietly while the rest of us were
shushing each other to listen to what he had to say, and she would go to
the kitchen for peace and quiet.
 Dad ruled our household with certain moral convictions, but the
stranger never felt obligated to honour them. Profanity, for example,
was not allowed in our home - not from us, our friends or any visitors.
Our long time visitor, however, got away with four-letter words that
burned my ears and made my dad squirm and my mother blush. My
Dad didn't permit the liberal use of alcohol but the stranger
encouraged us to try it on a regular basis. He made cigarettes look cool,
cigars manly, and pipes distinguished. He talked freely (much too
freely!) about sex. His comments were sometimes blatant, sometimes
suggestive, and usually embarrassing..
 I now realize that my early concepts about relationships were
influenced strongly by the stranger. Time after time, he opposed the
values of my parents, yet he was seldom rebuked....and NEVER asked
to leave.
 More than fifty years have passed since the stranger

moved in with our family. He has blended right in and
is not nearly as fascinating as he was at first. Still, if
you walked into my parents' family room today, you
would still find him sitting over in his corner, waiting
for someone to listen to him talk and watch him draw
his pictures.
His name?
We just call him 'TV.’
He has a wife now....we call her 'Computer.’
Their first child is "mobile phone".
Second child "I Pod"
