WARNING: Demon-crats: Defining the Bizarre and Evil Behaviors of a Mass Political Formation Based in Evil Ideology
Then as now, when Israel turned from the living God to worship Baal and Asherah, they not only embraced idolatry but allowed moral corruption and social decay to flourish. I call them Demon-crats...
"God Read My Mind" - His Life-Changing Encounter - Sharw Ryan recounts how the enemy attacked his heart in a moment of raw grief. He had just lost a close friend, and somewhere between the hum of the plane engines and the ache in his chest, he broke down in tears. It felt as if he was the only one speaking out about these deep spiritual realities, carrying the weight of a message that no one seemed to hear. A whisper in his mind urged him to give up, to surrender, to let the darkness in and stop fighting. For a fleeting moment, he felt like laying down his soul to despair itself, as if giving in would be the same as handing it to the devil. That was the battlefield of doubt—the quiet war for his spirit.
Throughout history, societies have often reached crossroads where spiritual truths collide with the seductive allure of worldly ideologies. Today, we are witnessing a new and bizarre mass formation of belief that blends social radicalism, occult symbolism, and political manipulation into a single, relentless current. This movement—often hiding under the language of progress, inclusion, and liberation—echoes the serpent’s promise in Genesis 3:5, that humanity can “be as gods,” determining good and evil for itself without reference to divine law. It is no coincidence that such movements often manifest in what the Bible describes as rebellion against God, aligning more with the kingdom of darkness than with the light of truth.
In biblical history, patterns of apostasy are strikingly familiar. When Israel turned from the living God to worship Baal and Asherah, they not only embraced idolatry but also allowed moral corruption and social decay to flourish. In the modern age, the same spiritual pattern can be discerned in the ideologies that undergird radical leftist and communist thought—systems that often deny God, family, and the sanctity of life, replacing them with the collective as the ultimate authority. Communism, at its core, is a counterfeit gospel, promising a worldly utopia while requiring the submission of the individual soul to the state. It mirrors the ancient Tower of Babel (Genesis 11), where humanity sought to unify under one defiant system, rejecting divine order and pursuing godhood through collective strength.
Meanwhile, occult practices and beliefs have always promised secret knowledge and liberation from divine accountability. From the rituals of Babylon to the hidden workings of modern occult societies, the essence is the same: rebellion cloaked as enlightenment. This spiritual DNA can be seen in the modern political sphere when movements encourage the rejection of natural law, the desecration of the innocent, and the celebration of moral inversion. As Isaiah 5:20 warns, “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light and light for darkness.” When political platforms normalize practices that destroy life and promote anti‑human policies under the guise of compassion, they mirror the same spiritual deceit as the ancient sorcerers and false prophets who led nations to ruin.
The mass formation of modern ideological “believers” demonstrates the power of principality‑driven deception (Ephesians 6:12). Crowds can be swept into irrational fervor, convinced that rejecting biblical truth is liberation, and that dismantling divine order is justice. These “Demon-crats”—a term as much spiritual as political—reflect the fusion of ideological possession and mass hypnosis, where political loyalty supersedes conscience and reality itself becomes malleable. Like the demoniac of Mark 5, who lived among the tombs, society under such influence often celebrates death, division, and the desecration of what is sacred, while violently resisting the voice of truth.
The Bible offers a stark contrast to this descent: freedom in Christ, rooted in truth and moral clarity, is the only antidote to the bondage of spiritual and ideological possession. Spiritual discernment demands that believers recognize the unseen battle behind political movements and cultural shifts. We are not wrestling against mere policies or parties but against the ancient rebellion that began in Eden, now clothed in modern rhetoric and technology. This is why prayer, repentance, and courageous truth‑telling remain essential. For just as the prophets of old confronted the idols of their day, so must the modern believer discern and resist the seductive, destructive creed of this age’s “demon‑cratic” mass formation—an ideology that seeks to replace God with the state, truth with lies, and life with death.
Biblical truth is rooted in the recognition of God as the ultimate source of authority, morality, and life. Scripture consistently affirms that humanity is created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27), endowed with free will, and called to live in harmony with divine law. Life is sacred, truth is objective, and real freedom flows from obedience to God’s will, which brings order, purpose, and blessing. In contrast, occult ideology tempts individuals with secret knowledge and self-deification, mirroring the serpent’s deception in Genesis 3:5, where the promise of “being as gods” leads only to spiritual enslavement. Similarly, communist ideology exalts the collective and the state as the ultimate authority, denying divine accountability and seeking to create a utopia through human power alone. Both systems, though seemingly different, share the same spiritual core: the rejection of God in favor of man-centered control and manipulation.
The outcomes of these worldviews could not be more different. Biblical truth produces life, liberty, and moral clarity, because it anchors human value in something eternal and unchanging. It affirms the family, protects the innocent, and upholds justice rooted in God’s righteousness. By contrast, occult and communist ideologies breed confusion, oppression, and death, as history repeatedly shows in the spiritual decay of occult societies and the atrocities committed under atheistic regimes. Where the Bible calls for humility, repentance, and service to others, the occult seeks power through hidden forces, and communism demands submission to a godless hierarchy. Both ultimately serve the same spiritual rebellion: to dethrone God and enthrone human ambition, leading to the same tragic end foretold in Psalm 2, where the nations rage against the Lord, only to face His unshakable judgment.
In today’s political and cultural climate, the echoes of these spiritual contrasts are deafening. Modern society increasingly mirrors the rebellion of Babel, uniting under banners of ideology that reject God and His order. Occult influence emerges subtly in the glorification of self‑worship, moral inversion, and the pursuit of power through manipulation—seen in everything from pop‑culture rituals to the normalization of practices that degrade human life and dignity. Communist‑leaning political movements advance similar themes under the guise of progress, demanding the surrender of individual conscience to collective control while eroding the foundations of family, faith, and moral clarity. Policies that attack the sanctity of life, redefine creation according to human whim, and suppress religious expression are not merely political—they are spiritual in nature, aligning with the same ancient rebellion that Scripture repeatedly warns against.
Meanwhile, Biblical truth stands as the unshakable alternative, offering the light that exposes these deceptions. In a world where mass formation and ideological possession are increasingly common, believers are called to recognize that political trends are often downstream from spiritual battles. The cultural normalization of practices that the Bible calls abomination—whether in the celebration of death, the confusion of gender and identity, or the persecution of truth‑tellers—is evidence that the same powers of darkness that fueled past empires are active today. Yet the hope of the Gospel remains clear: only by turning to Christ, the true source of freedom and life, can individuals and nations break free from the bondage of deception. The task before us is not merely to debate politics but to wage spiritual warfare with truth, prayer, and courage, standing firm against the tide of modern “demon‑cratic” ideologies and pointing to the eternal kingdom that cannot be shaken.
Here’s a fascinating video interview exploring the Hall of Ma’at and the judgment scene in ancient Egyptian afterlife mythology, featuring Dr. Tiffany Bannworth in conversation with host David Masters. Together, they discuss the spiritual implications of the weighing of the heart, reflecting on how the rituals and beliefs of ancient Egypt seemed to bind its people into a lifelong surrender of their souls—an influence they both agreed felt like the work of the devil, enticing an entire civilization into spiritual captivity.
