Give us this day our daily bread, and don’t forgive the trespasses of the

Imperialists as we will not forgive them.

And may we resist the temptation to abandon the fight,

And deliver us from the evils of Capitalism. Amen.

Over an Ethiopian Lutheran radio station confiscated by the Communist government, a Satanist version of the Bible a was broadcast. First Corinthians 13 sounded like this:

Though I speak all the languages and have no enmity toward the landlords and capitalists, I have become as sounding brass…. Class hatred suffers no exploitation and is brutal. Class hatred envies their riches and vaunts itself with the successful revolutions in many Socialist states…. And now abide faith, hope, and class hatred, but the greatest of these is revolutionist hatred.

During the general strike organized by the French Communists in 1974, workers were called to march in the streets of Paris shouting the slogan, “Giscard d’Estaing est foutu, les démons sont dans la rue! (Giscard d’Estaing [then French president] is done with. Demons are now in the street).” Why not “the proletariat” or “the people”? Why this evocation of Satanic forces? What has this to do with the legitimate demands of the working class to have better salaries?

Deification of Communist Leaders

Communist leaders have been and are deified. Listen to the following poem honoring Stalin in Pravda (Moscow, March 10, 1939). (Pravda is the central organ of the Communist Party in the U.S.S.R.)

The sun shines mildly and who would not know that you are this sun?

The pleasant noise of the sea waves sings an ode to Stalin.

The blinding snowy peaks of mountains sing the praise of Stalin.

The millions of flowers and meadows thank you.

Likewise the covered tables.

The beehives thank you.

The fathers of all young heroes thank you, Stalin;

Oh, Lenin’s heir, you are for us Lenin himself.

Thousands of such poems have been composed. Here is another hymn to Stalin of extraordinary fervor and beauty, reminding one of Eastern Byzantine Christianity in the fourth and following centuries:

O great Stalin, O leader of the peoples,

Thou who broughtest man to birth,

Thou who purifiest the earth,

Thou who restorest the centuries, Thou who makes boom the Spring,

Thou who makes vibrate the musical chords.

Thou, splendor of my Spring, O Thou Sun reflected from millions of hearts.

The foregoing hymn was published in Pravda in August 1936. In May 1935 the same official Party newspaper had published the following extraordinary effusion:
