Dear Chris:

I am sorry to hear about your Aunt. We will pray that she will come to see the light that is Christ.

The "jesus-is-lord" website is a group of bigots against the Catholic Church, and are thoroughly nutballs. They see conspiracies and devils around every corner. If these people were to say the sky is blue, I would not believe them, but would look out the window to see for sure.

Once these people get an idea in their puny little minds, they will contort the facts to fit their pre-conceived notions—a "sign" of a sick and deluded mind.

With that said, even a broken clock is correct twice a day, and even a Satanist can trip over the truth once-in-a-while.

Helen Keller was a radical socialist, proponent of birth control, and apparently a member of the cults, Swedenborgism and Theosophy. So, they have that right, but that is all that is right about their "opinion.". She was not a Satanist. Just because people are into error and cults and all sorts of things encouraged by the devil, does not mean they are Satanist, or even believe in the devil. The devil works mostly in the shadows, thus it is common for people to have beliefs and practices to which they are not aware of the connection with the devil.

In any event, none of this has any relevance to sign language.

For Keller to deliberately use a Satanic symbol as the sign for "I love you", this alleged Satanic sign had to already be in existence and used by by her, by the Swedenborgist, or by someone in her acquaintance. Socialist do not have or use such a symbol and neither did Margaret Sanger or those in the birth control movement.

So where is the that little pesky thing called EVIDENCE to prove the nonsense assertions of these nutballs. As usual, they take what they have already decided to be true, and contorted, twisted, and manipulated any little grain of truth to fit their pre-conceived notions. 

The sign for "I love you" is a combination of sign language for the letters "I", "L", and "Y". That is how it is constructed. Had the sign for those three letters been different, then the sign for "I love you" would have been different.

And even if the rock bands use this exact same gesture, that does not make it Satanic any more than Satanic rock bands wearing the cross means that the cross is a symbol of Satan.

These nutballs just see a similarity between this totally innocent sign gesture and the finger gesture used in rock music and thus go bezerk with rash judgment and wild imaginings. Similarity does not equal same identity. If similarity equaled the same identity then these people are mentally ill, since their behavior is quite similar to those found in an insane asylum. I have some knowledge of this since I have worked in three mental hospitals.

As it is with the use of any symbol, for example symbols used by our kids, before jumping to wild assumptions, we need to do a little thing called, "ASK THE PERSON, what the symbol means to them." There are symbols that are objectively occult, but the person using the symbol may not know that. We have to do more than just jump to conclusions to ascertain why the child is using such-and-such a symbol. This sign gesture for "I love you," however, is not objectively occult in any way. So the burden of proof is on the nutballs to prove their assertion.

The politicians who use this sign are not flashing a demonic gesture. Only a total idiot would think such a thing. They are flashing the "I love you" gesture -- OBVIOUSLY.

Interestingly, the behavior of these people to twist facts to suit their pre-conceived ideas happens to be one of the ways Satan works most. He will take a small grain of truth, surround it with garbage and error, in hopes that the little grain of real truth will convince people that all the rest is true.

These people, who see devils around every corner, have forgotten to look and discover the devil in their own mirrors. I would be hard pressed to find any group more deluded and manipulated by the devil than these people, and a few others like them on the Internet.

Thus, you should never visit that nutball website again. Place that website and the idiots who run it on a list of very sick people who need prayers, but never, never, never, listen to anything they have to say.

God Bless,
Bro. Ignatius Mary
