Satans Most Loved Lies

Having a family member or friend reject Christ and spit in the face of everything our Lord stands for will definitely make you stop and look at how and why such a travesty happens.
I have seen one great lie pushed as the primary excuse time and again. It's "Be Happy". Oh yes, nothing is more important than our current and yet fleeting emotional state. If a thing makes me feel 'happy' it must be right! Who cares if it ruins the lives of others and robs them of their peace and happiness? To a truly selfish soul nothing is more important than they are, NOTHING. The tragic and yet almost comical reality is that if emotional happiness is all you seek, your encounters with it will become less and less satisfying and harder and harder to find. Your sin may make you feel good, like eating a chocolate bar, but it is empty and destructive as a means unto itself.
True joy, peace and satisfaction can only come through doing what is truly right. It comes from knowing our Creator and the beauty of his purpose for us. It come in living a life outside of selfish desire, rather than being consumed by it as a base and wild animal. Love and selfishness are absolute opposites, one CANNOT find love while living a life for self.
Anyone who has the Gaul to tell a person that their selfish choices are wrong will be labeled "negative", "judgemental", "ignorant" or many more negative,judgemental and ignorance based titles. If we know that the path a person is on is leading to quicksand we dare not warn them,as that makes us a negative (downer/unhappy) voice in their life. But if we know it and instead pat them on the back and say "Hey, it's not for me to judge! Just be happy!" then we are the best of friends.
There will always be someone out there that encourages you to get high, drink, party,sleep around, lie,steal and hurt those around you. If dumping your wife and kids makes YOU "happy" there will always be other self worshipping people that will tell you to go for it. Any and all sin will be supported by others bent on a life of self satisfaction and destruction.
If you are one of the masses ignorant enough to believe that this life is all there is then I guess lack of eternal consequence is a good enough reason for you to be completely self absorbed. On the other hand, if your religion is liberal humanism than you believe that you can be a good person without God, so wouldn't caring for the welfare of other humans be of the utmost importance to you?
In the end, whether you are religious or not, most humanity will agree that a truly selfish person is a bad one. The "Golden Rule" is an absolute rule and those who ignore it will live to regret it.
Any 'friend' that encourages ANY behavior with no more substantial reasoning than to 'be happy' is not your friend and is someone that you need to stay away from!

Psalm 1:1-5
"Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away. "

Ephesians 5:11 "Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them"

Revelation 21:8 "But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”
