I just...I don't know. I was curious about this site but I don't think I can take much more of it. I don't believe in God and a lot of you are very sad to me. Not in a disrespectful way. A true saddening way. I can't believe you've allowed yourselves to be so corrupted by Christianity. Christianity has some good points in it's philosophy. Some good morals/etc... But to live your day-to-day lives by this fantasy... And that's not even the problem. Your hurting yourselves because of it. And I don't care about it if your older. But what I get upset about is that kid who is on here. Who is trying to find his or herself. That kid who just needs a little boost in his logic and reason and he would no longer be stuck in this. My Christian family made my life hell and very unpleasant for most my life until a couple years ago and I reached the age of reason. I started dabbling in philosophy and human psychology. And sociology. Most of you have just been Christian all of your lives and think that you HAVE to. Just because you were taught this your whole life does NOT make it true. Look into Nietzsche, LaVey, Darwin, Marquis De Sade, Hunter S. Thompson, George Carlin, and other brilliant minds. You may learn something.
It makes me sick to see some of these threads. Literally nausous. People hating on themselves for masturbating or looking at porn or forgetting to pray. People who are so obsessed with sin. That is not healthy. People who think you'll go to hell if you listen to certain types of music or watch certain films. People wondering if it's okay to re-marry.
Life is already hard enough without these little stupid problems. Enjoy your life. Any loving God would want that, unless he is a sadist. Or just doesnt care. But to say you will be tortured for all eternity, simply because of a disagreement?
What makes Christianity the "true" religion? Why not the Jews or Muslim or Buhdist or Wicca? Personally, I think it's all lies. Lies designed to control simple minded people and take their money. Religion is a billion dollar business. The Pope lives in the Vatican CITY. Giant mansions. Priceless artwork...but you need to give 10% to the church, and even more to the poor. I think it's sick that religion has done this to people. It's not normal or good. More murder and death was in the name of religion than for any other reason. Look at the Salem Witch Trials and The Crusades.
You would be locked in an insane asylum if you were talking and praying to a tree. But atleast you can see the tree. Talking to an invisible being that gives you absolutely NO signs of their existance? But I know a lot of people are superstitious and primitive enough to want to sort of "invent" Godly situations in their lives. Not unlike cold reading and psychics. If you look through your life you could pin point a moment where something beautiful happened...and blame that on God? Your inserting God and Satan into every day ordinary events.
I don't have the answers any more than anyone else. But I certainly and not going to just put my faith in something simply because there are currently no other scientific explanations. Christianity said the sun revolves around the earth. That was proven wrong. They said the earth was only 7000 years old. That is also very wrong.
I really despise what this religion has done to me. It made me afraid. Afraid to be human. Afraid to be happy. Afraid to live. I was a small child...maybe 3 years old. And I was terrified. "God can see every move I make and every thought I have...." I was losing my mind. I felt like I was going insane. Look at the world and tell me it's a loving God. Poverty, hunger, death, destruction....oh wait. I guess that's Satan.
Satan seems like a much more fun character to explore. Satan means "The Adversary". The one who rebelled.
I've found a great liking to LaVeyian Satanism. Here is an excerpt from one of his books.
[SIZE=+3]"THE seven deadly sins of the Christian Church are: greed, pride, envy, anger,
[SIZE=+3]gluttony, lust, and sloth. Satanism advocates indulging in each of these "sins" as they
[SIZE=+3]all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+3]A Satanist knows there is nothing wrong with being greedy, as it only means that he wants more than he already has. Envy means to look with favor upon the possessions of others, and to be desirous of obtaining similar things for oneself. Envy and greed are the motivating forces of ambition - and without ambition, very little of any importance would be accomplished. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+3]Gluttony is simply eating more than you need to keep yourself alive. When you have overeaten to the point of obesity, another sin - pride - will motivate you to regain an appearance that will renew your self-respect. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+3]Anyone who buys an article of clothing for a purpose other than covering his body and protecting it from the elements is guilty of pride. Satanists often encounter scoffers who maintain that labels are not necessary. It must be pointed out to these destroyers of labels that one or many articles they themselves are wearing are not wearing are not necessary to keep them warm. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+3]There is not a person on this earth who is completely devoid of ornamentation. The Satanist points out that any ornamentation of the scoffer's body shows that he, too, is guilty of pride. Regardless of how verbose the cynic may be in his intellectual description of how free he is, he is still wearing the elements of pride. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+3]Being reluctant to get up in the morning is to be guilty of sloth, and if you lie in bed long enough you may find yourself commiting yet another sin - lust. To have the faintest stirring of sexual desire is to be guilty of lust. In order to insure the propagation of humanity, nature made lust the second most powerful instinct, the first being self-preservation. Realizing this, the Christian Church made fornication the "Original Sin". In this way they made sure no one would escape sin. Your very state of being is as a result of sin - the Original sin! [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+3]The strongest instinct in every living thing is self-preservation, which brings us to the [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+3]last of the seven deadly sins - anger. Is it not our instinct for self-preservation that is aroused when someone harms us, when we become angry enough to protect ourselves from further attack? A Satanist practices the motto, "If a man smite thee on one cheek, smash him on the other!" Let no wrong go unredressed. Be as a lion in the path - be dangerous even in defeat! [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+3]Since man's natural instincts lead him to sin, all men are sinners; and all sinners go to hell. If everyone goes to hell, then you will meet all your friends there. Heaven must be populated with some rather strange creatures if they all lived for was to go to a place where they can strum harps for eternity."[/SIZE]
I just can't accept any religion. Not just Christianity. I can't stand any of them. It's all based on ancient folklore and controlling the masses. It doesnt seem very genuine. If you are only not commiting sins because "God" is watching...that's not true...That's like living a lie. I will respect anyone who truely WANTS to do everything the Bible says. I will really be happy with that and I will respect them. But people struggling to keep this faith that...it's not really their fault...it's just..They don't realize how their being taken advantage of. Again, I feel the worst for the young children that are entering this fairytale and accepting it as fact....not just well written stories to help people live better lives. Have any of you heard of Dionysus? He came before Jesus and certainly had a lot in common.
I don't expect you all to understand. I know some of you won't even bother giving it any thought. But I just feel bad for the meek minded, the naive, the gullible, and...the children. The children whose lives were ruined by religious superstition. Like me.
I'm much more happy now. I have no fear of heaven or hell. No sins to worry about. And I live a good, happy life. No one wants to go to hell. But I would not want to go to heaven either. It's seems like a boring place. None of my favourite music or film would be there. Because it's all sinful. Sinful and fun.
All I ask of anyone who is reading this...or rather, my advice to you:
Question EVERYTHING. Religion, politics, your teachers, your history books, your parents. Because humans are pretty dumb, actually. There are a lot of scams out there. Religion is one of them. Think for yourself. Don't believe everything your friends or family say. Figure out for yourself. Don't buy into the lies of haunted houses, psychics, ghosts, demons, unicorns, leprachuans, angels. Live for yourself. "Live" of course is "Evil" backwards. And one final quote I will leave you with:
"There is a beast in man that should be exercised, NOT exorcised".
I'll still be around for awhile. But the end is nigh.
