Jail the charlatans

re: "Devil pact British teen murdered sisters, expected to win lottery" (BP, July 7, 2021)

 
Dear editor,

The story of Danyal Hussein who, under the influence of divine promises of imminent riches on Earth, murdered his two sisters, and would likely have gone on to murder more sacrificial victims in holy offering to his inspiration, the "Mighty King Lucifuge Rofocale" (a name new to me, but as noted their number is truly beyond legion), is an ugly reminder of the sway that such unsubstantiated supernatural beliefs continue to hold sway over too many humans. We all of us really should know better by now.

This sad but all too true tale from the realm of the supernatural, wherein abound an infinity of demons, gods, devils, goddesses, angels, sprites and the motley other sacred ones is yet another litany of the supernatural willfully deluding poor human saps with tall tales that never, ever come true. The charlatan divinities demand endless human sacrifice in return for amazing promises that are never, ever fulfilled.

There really should be a law against such blatant, persistent charlatanry. Has a single one of them ever provided even the merest shred of verifiable evidence that any of their claims might be true rather than purest fakery? It's time humanity threw these deceiving demons, gods, angels, devils and their all their sacred ilk into eternal prison where they rightly belong.
