Ma chon faghat donyayeh madi mibinim haghayegheh manavi ra motavajeh nemisheem ziad. Fekr mikoneem keh een sharri keh donya ra gerefteh toteast (conspiracy theory), ya donya dasteh englisihast, ya dasteh jehoodhast, ya dasteh emrikast, va gheireh. Masalan fardeh A miad yeh ghalati mikoneh, va fardeh B miad yeh ghalati mikoneh, va fardeh C, va chenan sharri be pa misheh, va cheh sharreh jahat dari keh beh aghleman joor dar nemiad keh fardeh A ba B va C totaeh nadashteh. Amma haghighat eeneh keh faghat o faghat yek totaeh hast keh dar tamameh tareekheh ensani haghighat dareh va khahad dasht ta akhareh zaman. Va oon totaeyeh shayateen ast, keh mikhahand ta mitoonand ensanha ra az khoda joda konand va beh jahannam beferestand. Va az tarafi Khoda fereshtehash ra ferestadeh ta ma ra komak konand. Dar vagheh man o shoma mohreem dar jang fereshteha va shayateen, va ageh ma eeno ba cheshmamoon meedeedeem az tars ghash mikardeem.

Dar vagheh barayeh mesal ba yek shaytan (demon) sar o kaleh zadan mesleh een mimooneh keh ba kampiooter bazieh shatranj bazi konim, fooran mibazim. Har cheh adam mokheh shatranj basheh, heechkas nemitooneh ba kampiooter shatranj bazi koneh zood mibazeh (hata behtareen shatranj baz foghesh mitooneh bazieh avvalo bebareh, oonam zood khasteh misheh vali kampiooter khasteh nemisheh).

Baziha mohreh shayateenand beeshtar va baziha maleh khoda hastand.

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Saint Michael the Archangel,
12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.

Saint Michael the Archangel,
- defend us in battle.
- Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
- May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
- and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host —
- by the Divine Power of God —
- cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits
- who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.
12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.
