there are many different religious beliefs, present and past, and they simply reflect the psychological/spiritual state of the people at the time, or their life philosophy, it has nothing to do with the fact that God exists.
Satanists identify with a deity or god that guides them in free thought etc this includes the darkest of thought to explore them in your mind and decide for yourself what should and shouldn’t be done it isn’t about evil and such like if people look past the popular misconceptions and read just a small amount of information about it (not lavay shite) then they would know its not necessarily a negative evil religion its as much about spirituality and enlightenment as any other just from a different more personal angle to my knowledge each Satanist is in some ways their own god. I have to admit I don’t know much about it but from what I have read that’s the conclusion I have made.
Homosexuality:
Yes, I believe that is an abomination, and while someone might think that means an evil, terrible thing that must be annihilated at once, to me it simply means it’s a sickness, un-natural thing that can be healed and cared for.
I think that is a very intolerant and patronising thing to say if two adults find love with each other then why is that a sickness and why is it un-natural?
I do not think anybody can argue that behaviour is natural, you simply have to look at all aspects of life around you to understand that.
I think the argument for this behaviour is in your second sentence.
Sadly, now it seems if someone can afford to sponsor a campaign to make something, no matter its purpose, as simply “a right to do”, and people love to blame anything they apparently have no control of (birth, genes, blood….) to justify their actions to get rid of responsibility, we are witnessing the gradual decay of all ethical/social values.
These words have been used before in propaganda to justify some of the most vile crimes in the last 100 years they are truly scary words because they shout intolerance.
Letting black people have contact with white children was seen as against ethical and social values people were hung for it. Having mixed race schools was seen as a decay of ethical/social values. Jewry in National Socialist Germany was seen as a decay of ethical and social values the list goes on and on … I personally think intolerance is a decay to moral social values ,much in the same way language evolves so do attitudes and morals, Victorian ladies that showed their ankles were immoral, society changes this goes hand in hand with my own personal philosophy in life ….
This will sound daft to most people but I don’t care as Its my take on life and most people don’t take anytime to actually think about it anyway.
I am not a being I am a becoming (how very philosophical of me lol most people laugh when i say this so im used to it)
Everyday I learn everyday I change everyday I discover everyday I receive
Some people are purly transmitters that is they take what they think is right and tell that to others, other people receive information look at it digest it and continue to receive growing in understanding.
Anyway back the point
Being a homosexual does not make you a sick person it does not make you a bad person. Living life in a positive and enlightening way is as you have said what is important and believe it or not homosexuals are very capable or living their lives in that way.
It saddens me that you think this way tbh as you are clearly able to think in a far more broad-minded fashion from reading your previous posts.
There have already been groups asking recognition of sex between adults and children, man and animals and all other sick stuff, and there is more to come. This is what happens when complete moral disarray exists. I would gladly explore this more on its own thread.
I have to agree that sex between an adult and child or animal I find disgusting much in the same way you find homosexuality but there is a far stronger case for finding an adult abusing a baby or child sickening then an adult having a relationship with another adult.
As an aside
If a man of 25 has a relationship with a 15 year old he is a paedophile
if you roll that relationship on 1 year and they are still happily together is he still a paedophile?
Roll it on 5 years they have a home and a child a loving relationship and a successful marriage is he still a paedophile?
It’s a strange thing to think about because at first its disgusting in all our eyes but at what point is that relationship acceptable?
I’m not saying anyone has an answer to that as I don’t know myself it’s just an interesting moral dilemma.
Going back to my previous point about who decides etc I understand what you are saying my point was more focused on the points raised in the original post and flatus response I have to take issue with how things are interpreted as this is the argument for people to fly planes into buildings and suicide bombings etc but Muslim friends of mine do not interpret the Koran in the same way so I find it difficult to understand strict and moderate followers, fundamentalists and latent religious followers.
Does that make sense im sorry if it doesn’t but I cant think of a better way of saying it.
I think I should say that im not looking for a point to be proven right or wrong
Do I believe in a supreme being of some kind .. I don’t know
Do I think religion is the root of all evil… yes I do I think it has huge amounts to answer for.
Do I think there is an afterlife .. unfortunately not to use quote from dead poets we are food for worms.
Do I think im right … nope I don’t think I am I just have what I belive and ill see if im right or wrong when the time comes.
Do I think religion, belief can be a positive thing … yes I do I think if people find strength and happiness though their religion then that’s a good thing.
Do I want to have someone else’s religious morals forced on me .. no id prefer to make up my own mind as to what is right and wrong.
do i contradict myself ... yes i do and thats simply because the whole issue is full of contradiction
For me this was never an argument it was a discussion to find out some information im really not arsed about what camp people sit in and whether its right or wrong ..
Everyone has been so busy trying to say im right your wrong that they missed the one good thing thats in every sensible post in this thread and that is that no matter what you believe or religion you follow etc the individual postie is basically saying the same thing that they try to live a positive enlightening life in some way or another whose right .. I don’t think thats the right question
Anyway im tired and again ive just spewed a lot of thought out on my laptop.
