Not in America. There are lots of legal taboos here.
Probably in Poland too, no? I bet it's taboo to drink vodka until you pass out by 12pm every single day, but legal.
I think it's a decent question because his politics align pretty much 100% with evangelical christians. But he doesn't talk about religion. Kind of a weird cat in politics.
I just want to say that I'm annoyed by people who get angry at non-voters (or people that want to tell me what to do in general).
I would not vote for someone that I don't want to hold the office. It is possible for every candidate to have some deal breaker going on. If there's no one I want, I...
Wisconsin is not very liberal. You're thinking of the city of Madison. Both state houses and the judiciary are all significant republican majorities.
Walker is weird. The policies he pushed through have a strong opposition by the people, like 75% opposed. He pushed them through anyway, and...
I'm not very religious. I listen more than I talk. I've met a lot of Satanists in person and find that we can all get along just fine. Differences in practice seem superficial.
In my experience so far the ones who claim to talk to demons and that they can do extraordinary things through magic...
Well...The Hindu stuff that I read said that there is a goal to strive for of self unification or harmony with the universe. loss of self. RHP. Blend in. Frank Lloyd Wright house.
An other goal is to strive for ultimate separation from the universe. gain of self. LHP. Stand out. Le Corbusier...
I would love to hear about the differences between eastern and western LHP. I recognise LHP in Hinduism. I haven't seen it in other eastern sources yet.
I don't understand why the compass points should be different.
If you teach me something useful I'll pay.
The censorship here takes people out long before I'd want to ignore them. I'd read the stuff of the lowest scum on the planet because they can say something useful to me on accident sometimes. Besides, it's entertaining to be annoyed.
I don't think that someone can chose what they believe. I did not choose to become an atheist. When I did become an atheist, Satanism was obvious. The loss of that fear set me free.
I see Satan as being an object of externalising blame for bad things, like Gremlins to WW2 mechanics or Yokai to the Japanese.
In its simplest or most ancient form, Sin is self awareness or reasoned objection to the rules of the tribe. Satanism is an appreciation for the attitudes that created...
I like this. It played that famous Beatles song in my head..."All you need is Love" with a single word replacement.
And as far as whether you're theistic or atheistic... I don't think it really matters. The most effective practitioners I've met on either side of that coin practice the religion...
