I ran across this term recently when someone had sent in a critical article against Billy Graham written by Texe Marrs
It seems many of us are gullible to sensationalism and don't check our facts before we spread this sort of information
I remembered some problems with what Texe wrote earlier so I did a little research.
One
article was by Constance Cumby who wrote the first Christian book
warning about the New Age movement, Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow.
Apparently Texe Marrs copied his material from her without permission, plagiarism, and he would not own up to it.
Constance used a term about those who distort and sensationalize issues to gain an audience
"I had, however, fears from the very beginning that Texe Marrs was turning a
serious subject into sensationalism via The National Enquirer type
sensationalism"
There is a lot of sensationalism for sure, recently
here I recall some one recommending a radio clip that stated that
Atlantis existed before Adam and Eve, the same fellows believe we were
'seeded here by aliens'
So much stuff out there mixing Christianity with the New Age and some of us just suck it right up without a second thought.
Not
everybody can be an expert so I do appreciate it when some come by and
do some correcting, for example the Planet X and Ison type speculations
that never pan out.
I and many of us have fallen for these things, we need
to be more careful not to jump on the band wagon and check things out
first
I am sure some of recall many years ago the "CUTTING
EDGE" stories about the Illuminati sending a missile to Jupiter and
blowing it up to create a second star, now that was a big on. Of course
it never happened.
Those guys are still out there whipping things up.
