I'd more or less agree with this. I think your soul is your essence contained in some form of pure energy which exists outside of normal space time and is simultaneously connected to everything else.
It is your back-up in the cloud as google might say. As such it is connected to any physical...
I suppose it depends on one's spirit or God, their nature, their attributes, their personality and what they require of the devotee. In some cases it might enhance or compliment the relationship, in other cases not.
Drugs in various forms have been associated with all kinds of spiritual...
He had some weapons which he bought legally and some which perhaps he didn't. Many people died and more were injured. Arguing about exactly what the weapons were seems to be missing the point somewhat.
The fact that he had those weapons (whatever they were) enabled him to carry out his massacre...
Nobody has been bashing America or Americans in this thread as far as I can see.
There has been criticism of the gun laws and I have said that I think the gun culture in America is crazy. That is my opinion. It does not mean I have any dislike of America or Americans as a whole.
(I have also...
I think American gun laws and culture are crazy. However, with America being the way it now is, I think there is a good argument that all of it's citizens have the right to carry ONE gun for personal protection. (I would never advocate the same here in the UK).
Having said that, the horrific...
I would not be against that either if the primary reason for killing the animal is for food to be eaten. I am against all other forms of animal sacrifice though. To kill an animal unless your life is threatened by it, is a senseless and immoral waste of life.
Perhaps you have an over simplistic idea about Pagan traditions of the past which doesn't recognise some of the subtleties implicit in those traditions and the people who practised them? Anyhow, modern forms of Christianity probably bare little relationship to the way the religion was practised...
All was calm, beautiful and blissful as the Lord wafted his heavenly Opium in front of Eve's face.
"Oh Lord!" She exclaimed with a faraway look on her face, "You are so wonderful and beautiful! Thank you so much for this heavenly existence where life is eternal bliss, an orgasm without end..."...
But there were human. That is the whole point of this thread. If we continue to insist that people who do very bad things are some kind of unhuman monsters; a different species from us decent folk, we will never come close to understanding their behaviours and perhaps preventing people doing...
Agreed.
Darwinism or to be more precise Darwin's theory is not based (as Social Darwinism seems to assume) on survival of the fittest in the basest sense, it is based on the idea that survival tends to favor those individuals which are best able to adapt to their environment and therefore...
Well where I live workers have rights, which would include the right not to have to work in an environment where they were unwillingly exposed to cigarette smoke. Workers rights are a good thing. Therefore I don't agree that people would be forced to take a job where they would have to be...
No. Although a lot of my fellow Satanists would disagree with me. I think the philosophy of Social Darwinism is very misplaced and fails to take account of the degree to which the human intellect surpasses some of the mechanisms by which evolution works. And I think Darwin would hate the concept!
