No. There is nothing supernatural about the 'dark side' It is simply an element of human nature, and an understanding that the world can be a dark, unrelenting and chaotic place. Some revel in this, others fear it, while others yet struggle against it like a salmon fighting it's way up a stream it can not possibly conquer.

If you are looking for spirituality you won't find it here. At least not the way you probably understand it.

Okay...but not all salmon fail. If that were true there would be none.

As for that chaos....yeah...
6billion people will die within my life time.
As we stand up from the flesh, some will call for Moses, some will call for Jesus, some will call for Muhammad.
Another large portion won't know what to say.

I expect to stand up into chaos....multiplied by 6billion.
Care to join me?

Yeah...you're becoming redundant.
Then complain of a potential 'slavery'.

No, I am not, I look at all views, and my words all have different meanings. Just because you can't see that doesn't make me redundant.

Your vantage point makes everyone else your slave...first.
You expect others to do good things unto you.....why?...respect?

No one is a slave to me. I don't expect anyone to do anything to me. I simply seek self importance, and if someone wants to befriend me then fine, like I said, I don't care because the world doesn't care.

Respect is an item you must earn.
I can turn this about and drop it in your lap...as you did to me.
Earn my respect first....THEN I will respect you.
You first.


Respect is also given, for you may know a man for his fame and respect him for that, but you do not know the person.

I could care less for your respect, I'm not trying to convince you of anything. You ask questions that have already been answered.

6 billion within your lifetime huh? Either you are going to live a ridiculously long life or you know something I don't! :)

Just to play along though, while those are calling for Muhammad, jesus and the rest, I will face it head on, and should my consciousness, inconceivably , survive my death and I am faced with a being that created THIS world, he will get no allegiance from me. In fact, he better have a body guard.

Probably know a lot more than you.
But yes, the population growth and death rate indicate this to be so.

God is God....
He is bigger, faster, stronger, more intelligent, and greatly experienced.
He is the Almighty.

Well if he is that bad why don't he show himself and quit hiding? :eek:

Ben Franklin once said: "I looked around for God's judgments, but saw no signs of them." If Franklin could not see it 200 years ago hmmmmmmmm?

Oh, is that how your imagination has constructed him to be? How very interesting.

When I was in grade school the announcement was made....
3billion people living on earth.
Forty years later...at this current time....6billion.
Given another forty years...12billion.

At the same time, the average life span is 80years.
If I live to be as old as my grandfather the population of earth will have doubled...twice.
And 6billlion will have died during that same time period.

That God possesses the superlatives I listed is logical.
If He lacks any one of them...He would not be God.

And you did mention 'imagination' earlier in this thread.
Imagination is the problem solving portion of your mind.
Without the ability to imagine possible results, consequence, and variations...there are no problems you can solve.

You base things off of trends, when nature is spontanious and unpredictable.

At the same time, the average life span is 80years.
If I live to be as old as my grandfather the population of earth will have doubled...twice.
And 6billlion will have died during that same time period.

The average life span now is 76 years for females and 72 for males. I don't know where you get your information mister. Just because the world size will double, doesn't mean the death rate will as well. I mean sure it sounds idealistic, but 6 billion people won't die during your life time.

That God possesses the superlatives I listed is logical.
If He lacks any one of them...He would not be God.

If God was logical he wouldn't of created Atheists, or Satanists and given us free will. I find no prove of deductive or inductive reasoning in your logic.

And you did mention 'imagination' earlier in this thread.

God came from the mind that your words came from. Just because you are creative and imaginative doesn't mean you can think of the square root of 28221.667. There is laws to physics in the real world, not a fanatical society.


Imagine variations, also means imagine things other than a single minded path to 'self rightousness'.


Your words are full of fallacy, realize there is facts to life. Such as along with life, comes death. If God exists, God can die. Thats all thats to it.

He may be almighty, but he is not strong enough to stop his Churches from burning, and from stopping people from thinking otherwise of him. :help:


I am God, I have the ability to be stronger, faster, more intelligent, and more experienced than others. I also have the ability to exert my will on others and make them think what I want them to think.


Therefore, I am a God.:yes:

Shall I run with this?
It is written....
Do not fear, he who would harm your flesh.
Fear instead, He who is able to rend your soul.

Of course that would be spiritual consequence...which you don't seem to believe in.
But if you could impose your thoughts over the will of another...
Is it not 'possession'...as displayed in the Exorsist movie?

Is the flesh not of the soul? Souls are not vital to our existence, if this was so, all animals would fear a God. You don't fear He who is able to render the soul, you fear the metaphor. They are just words. Prove existence of the soul, and I shall challenge its origin, and creator for it is my soul.

I am of spiritual existence, non that you would be able to understand. I am the spirit of myself.

And you think of it in an exorsism type of way, of course you would.

Though I speak of manipulation and common sense, as the Church has advocated the power of the dark magics through out its life time.

Catholic, Christian, Protestant, etc. All churches and religion uses the power of manipulation to control a fanatical society that wants to believe in supernatural dieties.


How do you think they gain their wealth? They claim to be a non-profit organization and that is why they arn't taxed. If they were taxed they would crumble due to their own obsolesence.


That is why they say, do not succumb to the 'dark magics' (Satan) otherwise we won't be able to control you.


It is a rather easy concept to understand...

Take for example the all powerful Church of medieval era...

They controlled who knew how to read and write, because they knew that if a heretic published his opinions and concepts that there would be people who would agree. And when large groups of people agree they do something about it, like the foundation of America.

If you weren't faithful to the Church you were executed and or tortured. They struck fear into the people.

Fear, deception (wheather it be a loving kind of deception or not), fraudulence and teaching are all powers of the Dark Magics. As all things advocate them.

You assume corruption of the church.
I'll let that stand.
But how then are you free?
Corruption is found at all points.
Are you incorruptible?
Are your moral standards so high, that you are beyond fault?

I ask...as hypocrisy is a form of corruption.
How does satanism make you a better person?
Perhaps the Golden rule is not so bad?

Corruption and purity don't exist first of all.
Nor does true morality.
I never said I was better than anyone, I said we think and perceive differently.

And it is only the 'Golden Rule' if everyone follows it, the smarter bunch take advantage of the 'Golden Rule' to benefit themselves.


But I will speak on your terms.


I do not assume corruption of the Church it is clear, after all the Pope did say condoms spread STD's and the Vatican no longer doubts the existence of extra terrestrial life out there, which is the exact opposite of what their purpose and belief is, which is God created us and thats it.

Again, I see no rational prove for your logic. You are the presumptuous one.

Then I will make presumptions.
People who pronounce as you do are self seeking and self serving.
Not to be trusted.
How can I trust someone who values himself, expecting others to serve him first?
How is that you have a sense of quilt or remorse?
I don't think that you do.
You are suspicious of others...likewise unto you.

I pronounce myself in a way that you think you understand, but you are highly misunderstanding it. Everyone is self seeking, and self serving for everything that someone does, they do for themselves. Even if it is a selfless act, it still gives gratifacation to the one doing it, if he or she wanted want to do it, otherwise they wouldn't of done it. Everything that one seeks is for ones own pleasure and benefits, even if it is not obvious to some. Everyone does something for them, even if it is for others, the feeling you get inside is still gratifying. Therefore everyone seeks gratification for themselves, I however just tend to find it within myself, unlike you where you seem to find it in others. Does that make sense?


I am trusted by alot people, I could care less if you trust me...what am I trying to do to you anyways?


Of course I value myself, as everyone does. I don't expect anyone to do anything to or for me first, I am perfectly capable of doing things on my own and starting new relationships if I want. But I don't need to, for I already have everything I want and I do value it very much.

I have no need to feel remorse as I haven't done anything stupid to offend anyone close or dear to me. I observe before I act, doing or acting based off of emotions is known as stupidity, and that is what I try to avoid. Though right now this statement is based off of emotion, I could care less for you, but that isn't being stupid I don't even know you, so why should I care? You are the opposite of me anyways, I have made plenty of friends here.


I am still human you know, I still do feel all of these emotions. I know guilt, I know love, I know hate. Treat one like an animal and that is what they will become.


I am not suspicious of others, I simply question their argument...so I can learn more.


I would of figured after all the questions you asked you would have a greater understanding, but it is apparant that is not so.

I don't think you would be able to tell a Satanic person from a Christian person on the street, it is easy for some.

If you wish to learn more, I could and every other LHP member on these forums would be delighted to show you our ways. But you must understand, instead of assume and give false lables.


Don't underestimate me because of my age, it is rather a foolish thing to do.

Finally...an essay worth reading!

Before I move on....
The labels you mention were not imposed by me.
You present avatars and proper nouns that have long been associated with long standing views of spiritual adversary....God's Adversary.

I was never confused....nor do I 'not understand' you.
I am not that much different than you.

I am a rogue theologian. I follow no congregation.
I am no respecter of persons...a practice among most servants of God.
I don't care who you are.

You did not ask of me...why I call myself 'thief'.

I believe in life after death.
When I stand up from my body the angels will appear.
They will ask what they will...as we do here.
I will say to them, as I have said to others.

They will say to me....'Fine...you do know better.'
They will then ask if I told anyone else.

That's when your name comes up.

I have stolen your plea of ignorance.
I did it right before your eyes.

Adversaries forever?

It is the Advesary, not just God's.

You may not be much different, that doesn't mean you understand. And I never said you were confused, you may think you understand a perception that is not yours, but then yet again you would have to be me to truly understand.:D

Good, but why do I care?

You did not ask of me...why I call myself 'thief'.

I didn't ask because I don't care and I never will.:D I abide by the laws and Statments of the Earth, everything I have told you, I told you because you wanted to know. Otherwise this conversation wouldn't be taking place.

I believe in life after death.

Haha, I can only laugh at that statement.

:D Don't fantasize a very true reality. Ignorance is universal my friend. I shall wait for your dead body to speak to the angels of your memories...ha, you are a hysterical fanatic. Anyone can say what you have stated, that doesn't make it truth.

Opposition forever.

Actually...you don't believe in life after death...or angels...or consequence.

This will last only a little while longer.
Then...later on...you will go grave.

Eternal Darkness is physically real.
No form of light will follow you into the grave.
No sunlight, moonlight, starlight,....philosophical light.

Really is dark down there.

You can't get out of your body now.
You don't seem to have plans for ...later on.

'Forever' isn't yours.
