I think they are controlled by demons.
HRC seems to be the same.
Narcissistic demons.
Because Satan wants to be God, he tries to copy God, but he gets it all buggered up; upside down and backwards.
God demands that we worship him alone.
Satan wants us to worship him and false gods/idols.
God wants us to pledge our children to Him.
Satan wants people to sacrifice children to him.
God designed people to be sexual creatures.
Satan delights in sexual perversion.
etc.
Yes, a copycat who tries to one-up God. He thinks he is better than God, that he can do a better job. That's why he wants a body, to be the anti-Christ, the false messiah, to fool people into thinking that he is God, when he is just an imitation; a phony.

Jokes on you; I'm not Catholic.
Ever hear of the Reformers, who rejected what the Catholic church was preaching?
Theologians who went to the "source", the Bible, and studied it in the original languages that it was written, Hebrew and Greek.
Sounds a little like anons, doesn't it!
