"For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false,12 in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness."
 
2 Thess 2:11-12 (NASB)

It is hard to watch the overwhelming, world-wide power of the LIE, but there it is. It's agonizing to watch people being sucked in and knowing what lies in store for them, but they still have the opportunity to turn to the Truth. It's their decision and, especially in the US where there are Bibles in every bookstore, Christian and secular, and there are churches on every corner and TV and radio shows, etc., etc., etc., there just won't be any excuse.
