I didn't know Satan's plan for our kids was to turn 'em into milquetoasts! What happened to Black Sabbath?

As a book which can be taken seriously, this book rates no stars. But as comedy gold...wow. You cannot open this book to any page without finding at least one uporarious and self-evidently ludicrous claim. My current favorite -- that the Transformer "Soundwave", a toy robot who can transform into a tape recorder, is actually supposed to reprsent the demon/god Baal.

Yes.

He actually says this. This is not an interpretation or a taking of things out of context. He (Texe) makes this statement explicitly. (Page 221 in my edition)

Does anyone really need to know more?

It is such a good book with many biblical scriptures to back up what he is saying about how satan's new age is coming at us from every angle to destroy our YOUTH!

... but not the way Mr. Marrs intends. Proof positive that to a man whose only tool is a hammer, everything tends to look like a nail. In this case, Texe Marrs' tool is Fundamentalist Churchianity, and sure enough, he finds evidence of "Satanic conspiracy" everywhere from the NASA space programme to the Smurfs. The only serious question it raises in the mind of a sophisticated reader is whether or not Mr. Marrs actually believes what he's writing.

I'm afraid that he probably does.

His critics dismiss Texe Marrs with the label "Fundamentalist Christian." So be it. But at least he takes a stand. At least he reads the Bible of his faith. At least he applies it to the world around him.

I like Marrs' books. They have the excitement of conspiracy theory. But grounded in Bible study. If you don't believe in the Bible (or are afraid your friends will think you're a nut if you do) you probably won't like his books. But if you're into Bible prophecy, and use the Christian Bible to guide your life, then I think you'll appreciate Marrs' perspective.

I'll admit, I try not to put any Christian writer on a pedestal. God is still the definitive Author. But there's a place for writers who use the Bible to comment on current events. I appreciate the work they do. Especially when it prompts me to go back and read Bible passages they've pointed out.

So, Mr. Marrs: I thank you for taking so much flak, yet still keeping the faith. And I eagerly await your next book.

Texe Marrs doesnt understand that simply because other groups have different belifs that they do not wish to destroy christianity. He says that those who worship goddesses in thier religion want to replace the christian god with a female goddess. He also seems to confuse the gothic subculture with satan worship. He says that just becuase s teenager wears black and hangs posters of rock star on thier walls that they worship and might even be posessed by satan. He is a jabbering lunatic and his book is complete nonesense. Buy it, but definatly dont take it seriously, its quite funny. I recomend it only as humor, nothing more.

I bought this book along time ago, when my children were young. I went through their toys and sure enough there were occult symbols on the toys themselves. He-man was popular at that time and when I threw away the toy, there was a change of atmosphere in my home, as well as behavior in my child. I read the reviews on this book and all I can say is we aren't always aware of deception around us. That's where prayer comes in and the gift of discernment. This book really helped me as a mother at the time. The Holy Spirit did indeed open my eyes, Texe Marrs has a gift to help us see.

This one is funny in that "it's scary to think that someone might take this serously and actualy put their psudo-intilectual faith baised conservitism to use trying to bring down the castle that Matel and Hanna-Barbarra hath wrot."

When one looks at the state of extreme relgious beliefs it never fails to scare and entertain all at once...

Although this book is an improvement over his other books, I am so sorry to say I still did not feel it deserved anything more than 1 star.

I am sure everyone has hated the world at some point in their lives, wished the world would blow up in flames and fantasized about watching everyone they hate die a slow painful death. Texe Marr's obviously hates life and this world and chooses to cope with his anger by publishing books venting his anger.He savors every moment describing how the world is going to end and everyone he hates is going to meet a horrible death. I am so sorry anyone would have to endure living with all that hate, he clearly needs a lot of help.

I read his first two books as a wide-eyed innocent, unfortunately very gullible. By the time this came out, and after thumbing through it at a bookstore, a lightbulb flashed in my little brain...this is basically the same book, packaged a bit differently.

Here we have a man with one issue in mind, just bludgeoning the readership over and over using manipulative fear tactics with the supposed weight of scripture behind it (of which, actually, there is no scriptural credence to any of this).

This (and the rest of Marrs' books) is just a defense mechanism of the mind virus of extreme conservatism, which is to instill fear and hatred of anything that doesn't fit into its ideology. Actual excercises in investigation and logic are squelched (likely because these extreme views don't hold up under scrutiny; they don't even hold up under the scrutiny of the Bible (!!!) let alone science, logic, experience, etc).

Outright lies, in the pursuit of truth.

BTW, if there is any plan out there that will destroy our kids, its this one: Homeschooling.
