[QUOTE=thomas;44586]“Lucifer” and “Satan” are the same. Lucifer fell from grace.
Anyway, I don’t know if she means “THE” Satan or a different one. If she means the Satan of Christianity, then what she’s doing is as evil as it gets, though she could be deluded.
How about if we talked about hobbies, Nobody, and I said my hobbies were raping women and torturing kittens.
Would you defend me? Would you be happy for me that I have something fun to do in my spare time and in my own unique way?
But I think the average person would be horrified by that, and multiply that times 1,000, and that’s how I feel about Satan worship. How can I be tolerant of the worship of evil?
But again…I don’t know for sure if she means “The Evil One,” “The Devil,” “The Satan of the Bible.” But that’s how it seems so far.
KundaliniGirl, run from this Satan worship. It’s dangerous.
I am being your “best friend” by telling you this and by not being your enabler.[/QUOTE]
I am more of a facilitator than an enabler.
I appreciate your position as a Christian, but you also must understand that this ‘Free Will’ the Creator bestowed upon us lends itself to not being influenced in any way unless we actually want/allow it to.
You could also entreat me to give up my Pagan beliefs and follow Jesus, but pigs would sprout wings and fly before that would ever happen.
If I am going to burn in Hell for all eternity, so be it. At least in my suffering, I would be very happy realising that I was wrong and this is what it took to finally convince me of that.
If there actually is a ‘life after death’ and I stand before my Creator to have my heart weighed up against my sins on those celestial scales of His, I will just be happy enough to ‘be there’ and know that I was wrong in thinking that death was the end of it.
I really don’t care what happens to my soul after that because my ‘life lesson’ this time around (if you believe in reincarnation) can only be learned after I die.
Now, if KundaliniGirl wants to believe in Satan, so be it and to each their own.
If she goes to Hell because of it, that’s where she [B]wants[/B] to be.
If she gets into Lucifers ‘good books’ there’s a chance (albeit a very slim one) that trolls wont knit scarves from her intestines (or her astral fibres if the soul has no corporeal form).
Now, Satan worshipers don’t rape women, torture kittens, steal money etc…
Remember, I have already said what the difference between being evil and being just plain stupid was.
To drive this home, I shall go into the basic tenets of the Church of Satan:
- Never give advice or offer help unless you are asked to.
(Oh…the number of times that I have tried to help unappreciative, stupid bastards who were better off living in squalor and misery because they were permanently stuck there in their own minds).
- Don’t tell your troubles to others unless you are sure they will listen.
(Everybody has problems and the last thing most people want to hear is you whining to them about yours. You can tell a million people that you are fed up with something, but unless you try and change that situation yourself, you will [I]always[/I] be fed up with it and no amount of whining to anybody will ever change that).
- When going to somebody elses house, show the owners of the premises respect or stay away.
(People should always respect the privacy of other people and learn when they are out of their own territory and intruding upon the territory and privacy of others)
- Likewise, if somebody comes to your house just to stir up shit, treat them cruelly and without mercy.
(You have every right to do this. I would suggest that a meeting be held in a ‘neutral territory’ and then ask them rather rudely to leave).
- Sex must be consensual and rape is totally forbidden.
(however, when Satanists perform the act of mating, it’s a ‘no holds barred’ affair that takes sexual pleasure to various highs and lows…bondage…torture…mutual cutting and blood sucking…every conceivable (or inconceivable) act your mind can ever dream of).
- Do not steal from others unless taking something would help that person.
(That’s like…oh geez…better me to die from lung cancer than my friend, so I shall pinch a smoke while he’s not looking). LOL
-
Acknowledge the power of Magick.
-
Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself.
(refer to #2)
-
Do not harm little children.
(So, there goes the notion of Satanists being pedophiles, doesn’t it)?
- Do not kill non-human animals unless you are attacked or for your food.
(…and there goes the ‘kitten torture’ theory).
- When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask them to stop. If they don’t stop, destroy them.
(again, it’s a privacy thing…all it says is ‘keep to yourself’ and ‘mind your own business’, then, you have the right to abuse others who don’t do likewise).
Now, we go onto the ‘Sins against Satan’
- Stupidity
- Pretentiousness
- Solipsism (thinking ‘I am the Mind/Body’)
- Self-Deceit
- ‘Herd’ Mentality/Conformity
- Lack of Perspective
- Forgetfulness and Laziness
- Counterproductive Pride/Arrogance
- Lack of Aesthetics
So you see, it’s not all ‘lets worship an evil horned beasty thing, kill helpless kittens and take candy from babies’ kind of thing…
