True, those Dharmas slipped my mind when I asked, but, as I should of asked, what if one is a burden to society, nation and world through inability to contribute, and otherwise in great suffering? Not necessarily from something terminal but from something that just makes their life unfulfilling...
I remember years ago being told about, by the one who initiated me, about individuals who had believed that they had attained Moksha in life could through sheer willpower die on the spot as they no longer needed the body. I don't recall perfectly, I feel as if I was told they might of also ate...
What are they and in what scriptures (if any), and where in them is this stated?
In what instances, if any, is suicide permissible or at least not incurring karma or at least less of it? For example, if one is living with no one they are called to be responsible for, is it less impact to one's...
What kind and or colors of Bindi can an unmarried Hindu woman wear? Do married women always wear a red one?
What are some important differences between various sects or regions? What are some universal or almost universal rules?
If an unmarried convert is white and living in America (me) what...
Ya it's clear at the moment but it's said Satanist and Hindu for like 3 years, sorry sometimes I blank it to see if people respond differently. I figure most of the older posters will recognize me though.
I do think it's meaningless because it doesn't really say anything, other than you think...
"Sky daddy", "Imaginary Friends" ect
I feel like if someone has used insults like this in a discussion, they have basically told you they have no interest in a real dialog, and lost any debate. While an insult can be useful to make a point more overt more often than not insults like this simply...
Well I didn't say it was blind hate, I was qualifying if it comes from blind hate (aka blind use of). I have nothing against blasphemy in of itself I mean come on, I thought that would be clear given I'm a Satanist.
And I am not defending a law against criticizing religion or even blasphemy, so...
Blasphemy isn't a crime, but the blind use of it is self-abuse, akin to drug addiction in my opinion.
Deities don't fully exist in vacuums, part of us are them and they are us. I think there is a real reality to this, not just "ideas" or archetypes but even if they are, they are tools for...
This. I think it's the part where people loose their dignity and self respect, when the really bad things start to happen to them like drug addiction ect. And people see it too, and will respect you if you respect yourself, is what I've seen. A few will always judge you harshly and assume things...
Since becoming homeless again just a week ago, still not back on hormones (but will be fixed soon) and not sure when I'll find a job, I've kind of started questioning some things.
Not about my beliefs or my faith, but about how I've practiced, how much is this different really? From all the...
Ya, it only got worse, stabilizing at 10% upvoted. Most controversial videos at worst might be 33% but tend to be around 50%, depending on the topic. But I assure anyone that 90% of the population isn't anti-feminist so it's coordinated by a vocal group.
Good point, I didn't even think of...
Today Gillette made a very inspirational video calling on more men to speak up against bullying, misogyny, harassment and sexual assault:
As of this post, it has 5k upvotes and 40k upvotes. It is definitely artificial at such an extreme like that but again this has been seen before. It's...
To get in I have to sacrifice a good chunk of my day which isn't conductive to hunting for jobs or staying connected to a non-homeless social life.
Also, of the two I'm aware of, only one takes women. People often don't realize this but shelters can be more dangerous than just staying smart...
Is religion good? Depends. My instinct is to say yes, however I don't think that comfort is a good measurement for this.
Satan and Shiva in my view are beyond good and evil, but will ultimately have a function we would probably consider good, and would certainly do so once we have experienced...
