It is one thing for mortality to be swallowed up of life (it is Christ that lives; the living yield to or come into alignment with living-living) and another for the living to be swallowed up of death (secular humanism: the living yielding to or come into alignment with the dead-dead).
Secular humanism is about stripping people naked, divesting them of their souls to harness them mainly by getting them to do themselves in with the assistance of some blindness and venom to get the victim to fail to realize their own constitution, value and makeup. Ala, lovers of death--misery loves company. The witch understands the energy latent in every being (ala abortion and ritual sacrifice of babes) the rituals for divesting adults of their souls and energy are more complicated. Convincing them they are worthless probably takes lots of effort (i.e. lying). So they prefer children as victims. Killing off fathers and mothers makes the hijack easier.For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed on, that mortality might be swallowed up of life. 2 Corinthians 5:4
