"There's a very interesting statement that Paul made that the God of this world has blinded the minds of those who don't believe that there is an enemy who sets the thought forms of the world and Paul analyzes the intellectual darkness that comes about in Romans when people reject God they end up worshiping stones and inanimate things. They ascribe creatorial power to Nature because they don't believe in God and some of it is utterly absurd; and yet that is what happens and I would describe it as intellectual Darkness, but there's an enemy behind it."
