    Black Metal

    Loved Alcest's album Ecailles de lune; sadly they've kinda turned into Coldplay with tremolo picking. :( Agalloch are pretty cool too, tho I don't think their metal cred really gets questioned that much (hope not).

    Lucifer and so on.

    I was referring to the idiom "devil's advocate" - someone who deliberately takes the unpopular or disagreeable side of in a debate in order to provoke more discussion. It was kind of a pun.

    Lucifer and so on.

    Lucifer is the literary archetype of a beautiful and prestigious angel who rebelled against God because he wanted to rule in his own right. After that he was cast out of heaven and became the ruler of hell. "Lucifer" also refers to the Roman god personifying the morning star. Satan is the...

    Why would a British man want to assassinate Donald Trump?

    He had a history of suicide attempts. It seems he was trying to commit suicide by cop.

    Cross-Dressing

    Can we seriously not? If someone talked about how people with physical diseases or disabilities are repulsive, it would come across as extremely douchey. Saying the same thing about mental illness is no different. If anything, it's worse, considering how often mentally ill people are homeless...

    What races lived among humans?

    What races lived among humans?

    Neanderthals and "hobbits" (Homo florensis, iirc). Both of those are technically humans, tho.

    Check your privilege

    That makes more sense, but it's still a little misleading without another box about whether you live with your parents as an adult. While we're at it, I feel like there are a lot of potential mental health questions they missed too, but I guess they were set on having an even 100.

    Check your privilege

    44 out of 100. A couple of the questions made no sense to me. For instance, how is it privileged for your parents to pay for your rent? To me that implies that one either can't afford to buy their own home/pay their own rent or else has some kind of disability or other life experience impairing...

    I’m a Christian with very unique viewpoints and would like to hear people’s thoughts on them

    Please do not spread misinformation about pagan religions and use our identity as a snarl word.

    I’m a Christian with very unique viewpoints and would like to hear people’s thoughts on them

    It seems bizarre for a follower of the Christian God to reject that god's benevolence instead of rejecting the truth of homophobic scriptures. Why? Classic paganism would be the notion that there are many gods and a countless number of nature and ancestral spirits who are to be honored thru...

    I want to believe in God again.

    @Demonslayer, I don't think you're realizing that not all theistic religions believe in an omnipotent god.

    Magickal Systems

    Mostly bindrunes & tarot.

    Here's some instruments I like:

    Signs and stupid songs

    Um, no. They're part of the same cultural climate that allows **** like this to happen.

    Filianism and Goddess Religion

    I find that website pretty obnoxious. It presents this pseudo-pagan, pseudo-Hindu white-light sort of religion that simultaneously calls polytheism "illegitimate", "heretical" and "spiritually degenerate" (http://www.mother-god.com/polytheism.html). Instead it promotes "angelotheism". I have...

    Is any former Bernie voter going Trump just to stop Hillary?

    If you were a Bernie supporter and you're voting Trump, you weren't real. Are you just easily swayed by flashy rhetoric? Do you really think a fvcking billionaire CEO is some kind of scrappy populist? Pretty sure this isn't the Icelandic Commonwealth. Maybe you live on Iroquois territory? idk...

    Revelations from Deity: (Theists sympathetic to the "LHP" only)

    This system sounds oddly legalistic and authoritarian for an LHP religion. I tend to think of the LHP as being highly individualistic and even decadent or chaotic at times.

    Can we say organized religion is a positive force in the world with headlines like this?

    It's not just about me. My position as a revivalist pagan is kind of an uncommon one, but there are plenty of huge religions that aren't homophobic, plenty that don't believe in eternal damnation etc. And I don't think minority views should be passed over and ignored in the discourse. This is...

    Can we say organized religion is a positive force in the world with headlines like this?

    May I kindly request that atheists stop making "anti-religious" arguments that are actually only anti-Abrahamic, or even only addressing Christianity and Islam? My religion isn't anti-sex, anti-queer or based around the threat of eternal punishment, nor does it require any other religion to be...
