C.S. Lewis in 1942: How Satan uses fear of death to destroy liberty — “I instilled fear in them!”

Spookily, CS Lewis wrote this nearly 70 years ago but could have been written today:
′′One young devil asked the old man: “How did you manage to bring so many souls to hell?” The old devil answered: “I instilled fear in them!” Answers the youngster: “Great job! And what were they afraid of? Wars? Hunger?” Answers the man: “No, they were afraid of the disease!“
For this youngster: “Does this mean they didn’t get sick? Are they not dead? There was no rescue for them?” The old man answered: “but no . . . they got sick, died, and the rescue was there.” The young devil, surprised, answered: “Then I don’t understand???”
The old man answered: “You know they believed the only thing they have to keep at any cost is their lives.
They stopped hugging, greeting each other. They’ve moved away from each other. They gave up all social contacts and everything that was human! Later they ran out of money, lost their jobs, but that was their choice because they were afraid for their lives, that’s why they quit their jobs without even having bread.
They believed blindly everything they heard and read in the papers.
They gave up their freedoms, they didn’t leave their own homes literally anywhere. They stopped visiting family and friends. The world turned into such a concentration camp, without forcing them into captivity.
They accepted everything!!! Just to live at least one more miserable day . . . And so living, they died every day!!!
And that’s how it was very easy for me to take their miserable souls to hell….. ′′
C.S. Lewis – ′′ Old Devil’s Letters To Young ′′ 1942.
Today's generation has no idea what it cost the Founding Father's. Of the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence, 19 put on military uniforms and went to war, two died at the hands of the British (seven others died during the war), and two were wounded in battle; and including those signers who also led in arenas outside the military, five were made prisoners of war, seventeen lost their estates or fortunes, five incurred heavy debt by personally financing the war, fourteen lost their families or were separated from them, two lost children, and three lost their wives.
Each of the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence mutually pledged to each other their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor. The Declaration of Independence isn't just a piece of paper. It is our country's Birth Certificate.
I've said it before and I will say it again. This is the generation of pussies. The Generation that wants Socialism, the generation that holds Marches for their lives to remove their rights, the generation that wants to ban all guns and the generation that believes they will save America.
I'm a gun owning, Bible reading, Constitution believing Patriot. I'm a Constitutional Conservative not a MAGA Republican.
