Hi Gang!

Every now and then, I'll get a message from someone who says something like
this:

"OK, I can see where real violence against women is wrong, but what about
fantasy violence? What's the harm in that?"

My answer to that query is this:

"What's wrong with standing in a pool of gasoline?"

Now, let me explain.

I wondered the very same thing--about real versus fantasy violence--until one
day the Lord gave me a sign that fantasy violence against women is also wrong.
What was the sign? Well, picture this scenario:

You pull into a gas station and stop in front of a gas pump. You get out of your
car, open your car's gas cap, take the hose from the gas pump, put the nozzle
into your gas tank line, and then press the lever on the nozzle. You watch the
guage on the gas pump register gallon after gallon. Another car pulls into the
gas station and the driver points to the ground on which you are standing. You
look down and, lo and behold, you are standing in a pool of gasoline, ready to
ignite at the smallest spark! What happened? You did not put the nozzle on the
right place.

That was exactly my experience when I asked the Lord to show me--in clear,
unequivocal terms--whether, in fact, fantasy violence against women was wrong.
Never, in all of my over fourty years of driving experience, had I ever had an
experience like that, nor--since getting my act together in regard to
women--have I had another one like it.

I was aware of the statement by Edgar Cayce (one of the greatest psychic talents
of all times) that "Thoughts are things, and create miracles or crimes as their
currents run." I was also aware of the scriptural passage which says that as a
man "thinketh in his heart, so is he." (Proberbs 23:7) And, finally, I was aware
that God destroyed the ancient world with a flood because "God saw that the
wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the
thoughts of his heart was only evil continually." (Genesis 6:5) But all of that
really did not register with me until that fateful day when I found myself
standing in enough gasoline, had it ignited, to have burnt me to a crisp.

That was the sign I was looking for, and that is my answer to anyone who wonders
whether or not--as some contend--fantasy violence against women is harmless.

LET THIS BE A WORD TO THE WISE!

With kindest regards,
