Well, shades of Eden -- just look at what we have here! Circuit Rider said I needed to do a little duty here in a very heathen environment!
Since so many gods have invaded our United States' culture it has become necessary to divide them into three groups in order to cut down a little bit on downloading
time. These groups are Pantheon One, Pantheon Two, and you guessed it -- Pantheon Three!
So when you wade through to the south side of Pantheon One you will come to a hyperlink identified as Pantheon Two
and at end of that you will find the link to Pantheon Three. This will enable you to see the entire lineup and quite an array it is.
Interesting thing -- a majority of U.S. citizens will deny these deities are in our midst! Oh, by the way, we use the term "pantheon" because it means the gods of a
people taken collectively -- at least that's what Mr. Webster says about it! Also notice that your pointer may or may not become Count Dracula, for those whose
browsers are sensitive to the coding on this -- a bit symbolical since idolatry in whatever form sucks the life blood out the victim and leaves one in a state of death -- and of course the god, Convenience, demands lots of blood -- maybe it and the Count are in cahoots! And now a word from my boss, the Circuit Rider.
Here they are folks -- take a
good look at Pantheon One -- just move south and
view some of these prominent "deities" of U.S.A. society!!
As mentioned back on Range 1, our culture, due to our choosing to walk the same road as the ancient Isaelites did in the 6th and 5th centuries BC, has forgotten Who is in charge -- can we expect any different consequences than what those people did? Their 'gods' paved the way for their destruction and the 'gods' we are accomodating will certainly make the same contribution!
There can be a rather embarrassing moment when in a time of crisis a nation of people calls on God for help (you know like a few years ago when in Operation Desert Storm, someone got the idea that we ought to pray and ask God for help -- all over the land this happened, and the mighty Supreme Court had no objections to this -- my, my!!!!) and then God makes this quite shocking response such as seen in Jeremiah 2:26-29:
"As the thief is ashamed when he is found out, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they and their kings and their princes, and their priests and their prophets, Saying to a tree, 'You are my father,' and to a stone, 'You gave birth to me.' For they have turned their back to Me, and not their face. But in the time of their trouble they will say, 'Arise and save us.' But where are your gods that you have made for yourselves? Let them arise, if they can save you in the time of your trouble; for according to the number of your cities are your gods, O Judah. "Why will you plead with Me? You all have transgressed against Me," says the LORD."
Two things to note: First, notice that the political and religious "establishments" paved the way for that sorry state of affairs in which God was nothing more than an emergency fire alarm in a moment in which they found themselves in a real crisis!
Second, in what form do the gods of the U.S.A. exist -- no, we don't have little graven images all over the place, but they're around -- let's 
off a few, ok?
There is that violent one named "Convenience" -- this god demands bloody sacrifices on a
daily basis!! There are "altars" all over the place -- at abortion clinics and in some hospitals -- well, you know -- tables with stirrups on them! And as
mentioned at Circuit Rider's Closet, this is the ancient Canaanite god of Molech resurrected with a new ID and worshipped a bit differently, tearing the unborn to
pieces in the womb and all that real pleasant stuff you like to think about as you look at a small infant that managed to avoid that kind of fate! Over 64
million or more unborn have been sacrificed and the blood continues to flow! However the number is far greater than the 64 million -- these are the ones that have
been "counted." There are a huge number of unborn victims who are not counted. These are the ones whose lives are snuffed out in the early weeks of pregnancy when
the female with child takes a couple of pills a few days apart with the result that the child God is forming in the womb is expelled! It has been described as being
like a heavy menstrual period with extra cramps! Don't be surprised if God suddenly steps in and says, "This has gone far enough...!"
And what do suppose is going to happen? You might review the last stages of the history of the ancient kingdom of Judah in 2 Chronicles to see how God deals
with a people who persist in "shedding innocent blood" -- ah, this phrase has a way of popping up repeatedly in the Old Testament! To explore this subject
further go to United States Holocaust Gallery Use the reverse feature on your web browser to return here after your tour at that location.
One of millions of "sacrificial victims" offered to the god of Convenience!
There is the god named Money which has multitudes of all ages firmly in its grasp! And guess where Almighty God may start when He feels this god has gone far enough -- why, where else but the stock market -- one stab from God's "pin of judgment" and the bubble of so-called American prosperity will shatter -- it's not a matter of whether it will happen, but just how soon?????
As we continue to view prominent gods of American society we must not forget the very powerful god of Pleasure! Millions worship at the altar of this one, especially on week ends!! This god gets many, many more worshippers on Sunday than the living God Who created this mighty universe!!
Now wouldn't you know that this false god thing works a bit like family -- there are relatives -- the god of Pleasure has a brother that competes vigorously -- its name is Pro Sports -- this one can succeed in getting people by the tens of thousands to yell their lungs out in a stadium in sub freezing temperatures, but they can't seem to make it to a place of worship on a snowy Sunday morning to open their mouth and give praise and thanks to Almighty God Who gives us life!!
Well, well -- the "Pleasure" god family connection really branches out -- there is a
cousin -- the "TV" god! This one really does a number on people of all ages -- he or she (not sure of the gender on this one!) can get
people to sit for hours and passively drink in all that stuff it spews out -- eventually one's conscience and moral sensitivities become dulled -- our
Judeo-Christian value system becomes undermined and we are ushered into a zombie-like state with no real sense of right and wrong, adopting the media culture's
value system wherein everything is a dull gray, with the president of the United States leading the way like a modern Pied Piper! While many lament the violent acts
often committed by our young, remember that they have been conditioned and "programmed" to express themselves violently, profanely, selfishly, and immorally! The "TV"
god has made a significant contribution in lowering our society to a Sodom & Gomorrah level of life :-(
Oh, no! The "TV" god has produced an offspring and a very popular one at that! It's the "TV Talk Show Host/Hostess" god/goddess -- a strange hybrid genetically speaking! Human debris of every twisted type is paraded before the yakking host/hostess with millions of devotees watching and feasting on every word and action! Mesmerized as cobras before the charmer, the devotees of this hybrid deity get very upset if one suggests that this stuff makes those temporary outdoor privys smell like roses by way of comparison with the major difference being that the privys do provide a beneficial service for their patrons!
Alvin Assures Us He Is a Friendly Alien!
"Hello again! In case you have forgotten, my name is Alvin and I am still exploring the Range. I guess I'm not the only "alien" around am I? But let me assure you quickly my earthling friend that I will not harm you nor is it my intent to destroy you as these other aliens will do which are described here. Because of my mental powers and range of discernment I was aware of these "gods" the moment I disembarked from my vehicle after touching down on your planet. I am dismayed that even among those of your people who claim to be so "spiritual" that there is failure to sense how these alien gods have invaded and taken control of millions of your citizens! Well, I must move on and see the other group. What a sorry spectacle this is!"
Ah, I've been looking for you. I thought for a moment I'd have to send the D.A.R.T. after you -- you know, the Disaster Assistance Rescue Team! Just hit the hyperlink, Pantheon Two, below and see some more of the bunch which has captured the minds, hearts and affections of millions of U.S. citizens! Ooops - I guess our visitor, Alvin, has already tipped you off about that has he not?
Go to Pantheon Two
Wait! Take Me Back to Entrance of Pantheon One
I've got to see these 'gods' one more time before I see some of the next batch!
A Solemn Call to Repent!
