Sometime long ago the Roman Catholic inheritors of the Roman Empire learned and discovered a politickal axiom above all others: to unite the empire together, regardless of tribal affiliation, nothing does better than a common enemy. If a common enemy is perceived by all then all tribes, despite blood-feuds and hostilities, will come together and join forces in war against that perceived threat. Catholicism inherited this axiom known to the early Roman Emperors who wielded the mightiest armies of the ancient world.

And so the Catholics developed the mythology behind Angels and Demons, forces of good and evil far beyond the strength and power of humanity.

After "Educating" (Indoctrinating, Enslaving) the pupils of the Roman Empire with Catholic mythology, as the very nature of this education, most of the Roman populace believed that angels and demons were/are real creatures. They are real. Therefore the Roman population had a common enemy of demonic creatures, and common ally in angelic creatures.

From these seeds, centuries have transpired which allow humans today to "demonize" enemies, and associate them to some type of "non-human" or "sub-human" creature. So these tactics are still utilized today in the Modern era.

Example: The idea of "zombies" is a current, modern example of demons in popular entertainment and mythology. Consider the television series "The Walking Dead" in which humans are united against an army of undead zombies.


I believe that in the centuries to come, humans will utilize these same tactics, claim that aliens are real, and thus unite the whole globe of humanity under the pretense of "alien invasion" and other mythological threats. The main point here is that truth doesn't matter!!! It doesn't matter whether angels, demons, or aliens actually exist. All that matters is that the vast majority of humanity are "Educated" (forced) to believe that they are real. And after they believe such, and are disallowed and prevented to doubt their existence, then all of humanity can become united under the idea and possibility of a universal threat.

In the ancient Roman Empire, these such tactics were utilized often, to create and amass the largest armies of their day, and to fight against barbarian tribes (such as the Germanic Gauls).


Today the ancient practices are still in practice, but have evolved since then.
