Sorry if this thread seems too negative or somethint, I'm kind of venting...
So I just turned 18 and I feel pathetic. All my life I have literally never accomplished anything. I've never played a sport, I've never had a girlfriend, I've never worked a job, I never leave the house. I don't even...
As a fan of metal, I find that a lot of musicians, especially in black metal and occasionally, death metal claim to be Satanists. I used to take these people seriously, but now I see these individuals as pretentious, using their espoused religion to give themselves a gimmick or selling point...
I know very little about spatial mechanics and whatnot, however I just noticed an interesting coincidence. It is theorized that dark energy, which is the proposed opposite of gravity, is what forces the universe to expand. Of course, this is only valid if you agree with the big bang theory...
"The cold is spreading, winter is near
Cold frost, a white shroud over the trees appears
The moon stares longer to witness the earth
As the embers grow cold in god's noxious hearth
The clouds have grown heavy, they loom over the ground
The wind is more than a whisper, argued with no other sound...
My flesh is by darkness weakened as I stare into the nexus
My soul is assaulted in the hells of hope and imminence
Battlescars, a message scribed in pain, failed assaults
As the final one takes me
The winds blow, a ghastly slow
The once loud coffin boards settle as realization dies
My lungs...
Screams of pain haunt the wintry night
Martyrs march forward, they hesitate in fright
Slain corpses cover the frostbitten ground
Out in the distance the guns of death pound
The moon gazes upon in observance
While the weak lay in chains of subservience
Only the true warriors dream of escape
Now...
My carnal flesh tomb collapsed
As my knees slammed into the earth
The ground slowly approached my eyes
As their shrouds fell shut
I drifted out of my body into eternal sleep
My mind began to fall and yet I was well aware
I could see the endless black horizons
And feel the vacancy creep
Up into...
The ghost of the octagon has possessed my flesh
For much too long, so that the young are old and dying
And the dead are bone if that
And their illusions hold me at the point of a knife
Oh, the wretched octagon has been carved into the soil
In the name of blood for too long
But the roots of the...
Which was the superior civilization?
I think that ancient Greece was superior to the Roman Empire for one central reason. Rome was an empire. It was a local government with hold on land that belonged to other peoples. At its height, it had consumed almost all of Germanic Europe, a large portion...
Is eternal torment ever deserved? I was wondering, as I feel as though no one would really deserve spending eternity in Hell. I am a hateful person, do not get me wrong, but eternity is essentially pure pain. I can't support that.
I changed the name of my black metal project from Nachtsturm, that one sounded cliche and stupid. This is probably the most serious song I've written. Guitars, bass, drum backing track/drum machine, and vocals.
The lyrics are in another thread in the poetry section, I may post a link later.
Alright, a little history lesson here. Decades ago, Christian missionaries began providing those in poor countries with food, clothing, and medical supplies as a vehicle through which to promote their religion. They were essentially trying to coerce them into converting to Christianity. In this...
Up until now, I considered myself a "traditionalist" politically, among other things. Hypocritically so, of course. My actions are always anti-traditional beyond belief, in a very LHP way. I have never held any sentiments against gay people, transgender people, and so on, I always said I was for...
Enter the crypts, you find yourself lost
Your eyes drown instantly in the fog
Holes in your skull, now pouring forth their blood
Through the third eye, endless mayhem shall flood
Pain and darkness, incantation
To the Demons that make a home of Hell
Sinking down, death's relaxation
Embrace it...
The daylight has faded
Suns have sank below the ground
Blackened is this night
No stars, no light to be found
I close my eyes and let wind out
Enter sleep, hear angels weep
Into the abyss I creep
My last night of mortality
I'm waking up in my mind
My new power now unfolds
I am god but not...
As a spinnoff of the thread created by @syncretic, I decided to create this one. For those who are currently theists, were you previously an atheist? If so, how did you make your journey from atheism to theism.
I was an atheist, pretty much from birth. My mom had tried to teach me some...
