Homer

  Homer was one of the greatest writers and poets of all time. I read the Iliad and Odyssey at least a couple times with the understanding  it was myth, I also read the holy bible cover to cover a few times. Even drudging through the book of Numbers , not often quoted. Homer in his story of calypso to his perception of elves and many other creatures is purely fictional in his writings with a mix of philosophical truths. His stories of the Greek gods and their adventures , the poetry that captivates throughout his writings of thousands of pages , so vast that many believe Homer was actually a society not a single person.
  Homer was never dated exactly some say around the time of the great Trojan wars other place him in Athens during Olympic fame. Understanding Homer was not alone, it was popular in ancient times to write of historical events in poetic form. Many of these poems are factual but slightly romanticized to enhance readership. If you read of ancient papyrus asserted to Homer it seems he was seeking answers in his dreams, perhaps his prolific mind would record all his whimsical literature to please an emperors child. He was a teacher foremost and my belief a professor for one of the earliest universities of learning - giving him also the means to write freely.
 I think if Homer was alive today he would be writing for Marvel comics alongside Stan Lee in a plush Manhattan studio overlooking the bay. His ancient heroes remind me of some of the characters found in hero comics. That is just my take not to offend any of Cupids fans a valentine favorite. Those arrows shot so accurately into a lovers heart to remain forever an image in our minds attributed to Homer. Another character named Psyche was Homers later evolved into the study of psychology. How could such a brilliant mind not have found God. He invented imaginary heroes by the dozens yet the closest he could come was - Zeus.
 This is the mindset of the world today- we see millions of fans of war games - virtual reality. Homer was the father of virtual reality what we know as mythology. I can say it is the most distracting force today and acceptable by even Christians who may unknowingly are being distracted from God. Role playing in virtual reality can captivate even replace religion. What is evolving is even more devastating than television  and sorcery combined. You will be exploited , desensitized, demoralized and introduced to sorcery in this new phenomena.
 I pray Lord open the eyes of your people , make us aware to put no other gods before us. I believe these are the vain imaginations spoke about in the scriptures. It was not until this time it was understood because these things did not exist till now. May our minds be renewed in Christ and not subjected to the darkness and demonic forces hidden in virtual worlds. God have mercy on those that have fallen into this deception, forgive me Lord also for being unawares. The antichrist that disguises as an angel of light distracting us from your presence. -amen
