Still, she reflects herself in our personal and collective lives and gives intimations of her most essential ...

Look at the situation here in America today! To better understand what I am saying, know that Satan has the ability to blind his followers in much the same way. In other words, he can so blind those who follow him until they can look at facts! These facts can be as plan as day, and they can be totally oblivious to any truth. Let me modify that statement slightly. The God haters are not the only ones who can be blinded by the demonic powers. Some of the most blind are those who profess a ‘form of godliness’, but have no concept of being led by the Holy Spirit. They may attend some church...

It's 412 BC, and Athens' invasion of Sicily has failed catastrophically. Thousands of Athenian soldiers are held captive in the quarries of Syracuse, starving, dejected and hanging on by the slimmest of threads.
