Page 69 - Satan's Sly Game: The False Religion of People-Worship

Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)

memorized the rules of his superstitious religion and assumes
that by telling people what they want to hear, he is doing the right
thing. Even if he is good natured, at the basis of this behavior is
the desire to exert a positive influence on others, get them to like
him, and gain from them something of material value.
He will do everything he can to achieve this goal; he will be
perfectly good-natured. For example, if need be, he will help his
neighborhood poor to display of his compassion; and will tell
everyone how important honesty is for human beings. He will
let himself seem to be modest. He will speak about the great
harm evil brings upon humanity, appearing all the while to be
happy, loving and patient. People trust him for the appearance
he presents; they like him and befriend him. They will tell all
their friends how good-natured he is, give many examples of
how he has helped others, shown compassion to a poor child or
respect for some elderly person he met on the road. They de-
scribe to others how he took to the police station a wallet he
found on the street, gave his seat on the bus to a pregnant
woman even though his own feet were sore, turned up on time
for work in the morning without seeming tired even though he
stayed late at work the night before. This individual performs all
these acts of self-sacrifice merely so that people will say he is
good-natured, hardworking, compassionate and honest.
Another person will go to a rehabilitation center and bring
little gifts to the people that live there. He will bring homeless
children various things to make their rooms homey. Then, so
that other people will know what he has done, he advertises his
kindness to his close associates in an appropriate way. Or he
may make a considerable donation for the renovation of a par-
ticular department of a hospital.
