I have seen some people reporting that the peck seemed to result in startling spiritual deterioration or corruption in some people.
The further speculation was sometimes that this was due to some mysterious or hi-tech ingredient included in the peck.
I do not doubt that taking the peck was followed by marked spiritual deterioration and corruption in some people.
But it is missing the point badly, and indeed falling-into exactly the gross materialism which is being imposed and encouraged by the global totalitarians, to attribute spiritual change to the physical actions of a physical agent that - by unknown mechanism - makes people unspiritual.
Taking the peck willingly was a decision to join the side of evil in the spiritual war of this world.
And in such a war, as we may see in he world today; the choice of sides has consequences. Joining the side of evil is just the beginning of the matter.
One who has chosen to affiliate with evil will be led into more and greater evils - and this will continue without limit, for as so long as he desires to remain on that side.
It follows naturally and inevitably that one who makes such an evil-affiliating decision as willingly to embrace the peck; will exhibit spiritual deterioration, which may be severe in some instances; and will tend to worsen with time*.
*Unless there is subsequent repentance; and, as Francis Berger writes: regret is not repentance.
