So there is nowadays a dishonest exploitation of our fellowmen. Each person who is unaware, benevolent and has no true church beliefs may become confused and make a prospective victim. Particularly at risk are young people looking for the perfect ylofrona society we live, and those who are in a difficult period of life (sickness or death of a loved one, divorce, education, etc.). That exploit all the existential problems of modern man and the emotional statements to mislead and spend plans.

The biblical and patristic tradition, outside of any theoretical and moral vision of good and evil, speaks of the evil adversary of God and the enemy of man. It&#39;s the devil, in which there is only the denial and who destroys and kills</font></p><p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana">ever, it is spirit nekrotitas in the elimination of real life. The devil is the one who divides, separating, cutting all communication and lowers the being the ultimate loneliness. All these groups parathriskeftikes sects, especially the satanolatria are fabrications and actions of the enemy of man, Satan. </font> <br></p><p align="justify"><font color="#993300" size="2" face="Verdana">Say some: no devil</font></p><p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana">Some say: there is no devil. But the refusal of demons is tantamount to rejection of Economy of the Holy Trinity. Christ humiliated and stripped of demonic principles. The denial of the existence of the devil as never facilitate its work. We are frequent viewers of the most amazing signs and wonders of the devil, by which seeks to nourish the modern man; to make stones bread. We must be ready to face in our time the secret delusions and homicidal, meaning the new land of darkness from the sixth until the ninth hour, in which the man is exhausted and empty projects.

The devil is alien to the Cross of Christ. We crucified himself, why is not related to love and sacrifice, or ask people to bear the cross themselves. Promises convenience and comfort with unique condition of our full submission. Satan will not cease to parodies and thumbs, to transform and cheating, corrupting and distorting the Gospel of Christ and the freedom of the Cross with His promises comfort and happiness. And there is a risk to reach the man in complete disgrace to the tradition of the demonic temptations, and joining the parathriskeftikes &quot;cults.&quot;</font></p><p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana">The man who connected with God in the person of Christ in the Church not only cured by different passions, but radiant with joy, peace and love.</font></p><p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana">The temptation and the war of the devil is never over the forces of man, no rapes in free will and is affecting the natural calculus of which God gave to keep the mood and freedom. The power of the devil is not mandatory, but it always depends on our freedom. To succumb to the temptations are our own case. To make state and to exercise power over Satan, is associated with the active decision of the people who diastrefontas freedom of saying no to God and yes to the devil. The Fathers of the Church emphasize that man is left alone ever. If you migrated from the grace of God becomes vulnerable satanic influences. &quot;If members of the human does not deal with Jesus as Tanks,&quot; says Saint Symeon the New Theologian, &quot;are handled by the devil, with the consent and cooperation of man.&quot; </font> <br></p><p align="justify"><font color="#993300" size="2" face="Verdana">The &quot;action&quot; destructive cults - the facts speak</font></p><p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana">The integration of these groups not only leads unsuspecting souls of good faith mistake. These diverse and devious ways used unfair proselytizing followers eventually lead to the entrapment of supporters in situations very dangerous and destructive for the individual and the community. Effect of different approaches and techniques used by these groups are often the destruction of human personality and dignity of family and social relationships. The victims are cut off from family, professional and social environment, characterized hostile or evil, and forced to serve the blind group and its leader, believing that this would serve the good of humanity. And this is done with the &quot;mental manipulation&quot; and various &quot;techniques&quot; applied within these groups.</font></p><p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana">Apart from generally for these negative effects caused by the activities of these groups, there are more specifically related to mental and physical health of victims and the community.</font></p><p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana">Have been recorded and many group suicides, of which the worst were:</font></p><p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana">1) In 1978, at the behest of the &quot;Messiah» Jim Jones, 923 members of the &#39;People&#39;s Temple &quot;aftodilitiriastikan in the Jonestown Guyana.</font></p><p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana">2) In 1987, 32 members of the sect Ontaegiangk Koh decapitated with a sword.</font></p><p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana">3) In 1993 in Waco, Texas, 85 followers of the &quot;Messiah&quot; David Korea, were to be burned alive. 17 of them were children!</font></p><p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana">4) To 1993 revealed that the events of Pallini, 2 females were sacrificed on the altar of Satan.
