I watched the video by the Australian X Factor winner about how Freemasonry is a cult of Satanism. It is a powerful, scary, and sobering video. Here is the link:

I'm wired a certain way such that logic and intellectualism challenge my faith in Jesus all the time. It is how God made me, and I often wonder and ask God why He wired me to have such doubts. Then I found this video and watched all of it (it is long). It offered a perspective that I had been yearning for and that met the challenge of my Doubting Thomas mind, all the while painting a dark picture of our culture.
In short, I firmly (intellectually, now, too) believe that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Saviour. I did before, but not like I do now. I would love to discuss the video with others, if you care to share your comments. If you start it, don't turn it off when you think he has gone off the deep end... because he almost instinctively comes back with another insight that is hard to dismiss. So for those of you wired like me, I urge you to watch it.
Ultimately, what he explains is something that ties it all together... everything that is going on. It fits well with the documentary series that that one woman is doing about the Khazarians, but this video brings it very close to home. Our Constitution and our love of Jesus Christ are interwined and are therefore under attack. Spread the word after you watch it. Thanks.
I want to make sure I am understanding you... you're suggesting that the higher-ups say "Satan" and "witchcraft" and have a lot of rituals, but it's not really Lucifer, but just their belief in Lucifer. And they convince the people who join that it is real, and are able to exert control in that way. But ultimately it is just a type of psyop. Get people to believe something is real, even though it is not real... more akin to an atheist's perspective.
That is plausible.
For me, the smoking gun is a collection of things, so a conclusion based on deduction. All of the hand signs are not the most important thing... they just demonstrate how pervasive the cult is. Instead, I focus on the texts he quotes from, and there are many. These are primary texts (meaning authors speaking/writing directly, rather than being quoted). There are rituals and statues. There is history.
But, still... none of these prove Satan is real. That's when I bring some of my own life tidbits into the mix, particularly my friendship with several priests in the Catholic Church, one of whom is the Exorcist for the diocese. The things I have heard from him/them (which they don't talk about regularly or flippantly... and always only after a drink or two and we are sitting by a fire in the yard) scare the shit out of me. Demonic possession is real. And even knowing that, my faith in jesus was still pretty weak because I hadn't quite understood why Jesus came to earth as a man... and the explanation provided in this video finally opened my eyes.
The blood sacrifice is the lynchpin throughout history. Jesus' blood trumps all.
I don't think I have convinced you... there is no smoking gun that proves Satan and witchcraft are real. But if you are able to watch the second half again and focus on the rituals, you will understand how Jesus beat them at their own game. For me, I believe in the spiritual world, that God and Satan are real, and that we as humans have a chice to make. This movie helped me understand that belief, and strengthen my faith... no, solidify my faith.
