0:00.0	And that doesn't mean that when you see that idea that suddenly this, you know, demonic spirit is like latching onto you.
0:06.4	If you're a believer, you have the protection of Christ over you.
0:09.3	You have his authority.
0:10.8	But you do need to be aware that ideologies are not neutral.
