And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
The strong delusion is believing in a heirarchy of ghosts.
There is no God or Gods. Good and evil reside in people on their own accord. Were man not an inherently interdependent social animal he'd have killed himself off a few milleniums ago.
