THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH
In 1842, the legendary showman P.T. Barnum exhibited what he called the “Feejee Mermaid” at his American Museum in New York. The mermaid, created by joining the body of a fish to the head of a monkey, was plainly a fraud, but Barnum promoted it as the “most stupendous curiosity ever submitted to the public for inspection,” He employed phony experts to give lectures on its authenticity and other phony experts to denounce it as a fake, all in an elaborate, and successful effort to stimulate ticket sales.
No doubt man, if not most, of Barnum’s customers knew the whole thing was preposterous. But they enjoyed it anyway. “In the book “Humbug: The Art of P. T. Barnum,” biographer Neil Harris writes that Barnum based much of his career on his realization that people can take pleasure in being deceived, that they often find it quite entertaining.
So it is with the American family, they are totally deceived. The deceptions that are being offered to their children are stronger than Barnum could have ever imagined. Moreover, there are armies of deceivers marching to the spirits of witchcraft and Satanism’s band.
