Is nearly half of one's income being taxed enough? Should it be 60%, 75%. I think your problem actually lies with our governments and politicians who are responsible for wasting and mismanaging billions of our tax dollars . Our governments already collect enough money to fund nearly every...
Should not all humans strive for independence. Why would one desire to rely on the assistance of others or worst of all their government. Dependence comes with a personal cost on the individual over time. What the government or others give they may also choose to take away. Social...
There will always be those who are considered in poverty and always those who are considered wealthy. Most of us likely fall somwhere in between. It may not be "fair" in our own minds but it is unavoidable. We can strive to help others but it should always come down to an individual's choice. To...
First, who should deside what is to much wealth? The politicians? The bottom 25% of earners? The "middle class"? What number should we agree on? Who gets final say? One man's benchmark for wealthy is not the same as anothers . Who has the responsibility to make sure the "underpriviledged"...
Of what value is undisciplined opposition in and of itself to the Satanist? A confused and angry child who opposes his teacher because he does not desire to comply with a direction is not "Satanic". A conservative politician who opposes a firearms restriction is not "Satanic". Basic...
Agreed, the use of the label "Satanist" should be of little or no importance. The substance and knowledge is all that is of value. This is often the human desire to label or identify ones self to a certain path or belief system. Even more broad terms such as Left Hand Path can be limiting to...
Yes, you will never know the "God" of another. Those that identify with the same religious path will still each have to find their own personal God. This "God" will likely be a reflection of one's own conscious and subconcious beliefs, desires, and fears. The form in which it is manifested is up...
A so called "agent of the divine" has a right to punish as they see fit. They should keep in mind that others will punish these "agents of the divine" as they see fit. As far as these agents acting on behalf of a higher power? That is what I would call "self-serving".
There is an enormous abyss between the religious/spiritual in comparison to literal or scientific
thought. This contrast exists within each of us. In the past, I thought in many ways as the atheist.
I have come to understand that religious or spirtual belief is not comprehended in the same...
Is every form of opposition Satanic? An Atheist may be oppositional to the concepts of God or religious thought. I would not define that as "satanic". The same can be said for a rebellious teenager towards his or her parent's authority. I do agree that rebellion can hold the essence of Satan but...
God exists for those who believe or desire him to exist. God does not exist for those who do not trust or desire his existence. That is if one believes something to exist, it does within his own personal reality. The belief in God can impact all human thoughts and behaviors causing the...
The instinct of man is to sin (according to his religion/God). Therefore, the gap between man and his God can only grow wider. In this sence, man is destined to live a life of guilt, regret, and despair. He will never serve his God or creator fully according to the standards set forth by his...
Life and Death are like the phases of the moon or changing of seasons. All is one, one is all. Neither marks an end or a beginning. The cycle is complete. Life would be devoid of joy or meaning without death, just as death would with no existence of life. Therefore, to worship death is to...
