The problem, MR. The Pickleman with a Mullet, is that you base all your arguments on your own experiences, and you refuse to listen when someone comes along and says "this works for me".
Its not that I'm not listening. Its just that you're points have yet to change my opinion. Which is, Satanism will work for a bit, but will beslubber you over, one way or another, in the end.
Sorry if I have compassion for everyone around me and I'd rather not see people suffer needlessly.
It does. The key word that has been left out is moderation. You obviously misread it back when you lived by it.
How could I misread something that wasn't there? and isn't Moderate Indulgence bording on an oxymoron?
As stated, this is about living...
What's wrong with living? Enjoying life is very important! My point is that enjoying life will be a lot easier if you're not lining youself up to be arrested or having to pay child care.
And is it good to hand money to beggars who drink up the money, to love people who drag you down, who ditches you when the heat is on, only to return later when the sea is calm again? How about loving your husband when he beats you up, and promises that it'll never happen again? When was that good?
So what if there 5 beggers on the street, 2 of them want money to go drinking, and the other 3 need it for food. You would let those 3 strave to death because of the other 2?
And if your neighbour down the street was being beaten up by her husband. If you don't know her you wouldn't do anything?
Someone please tell me why Satanists think that you only have a limited supply of love in your heart? If a mother has one child, she love that kid with all her heart. If she has 10 more kids, would she love them as much as she did her first, or would her love be divided among them or she would play favorites?
Humans are capable of so much compassion and all you have to do is forget about your own damn selfish wants and desires for few seconds to give a freakin quarter to someone who could be hungry. Please tell me how you're going to break the bank doing this? Why is this so hard? What the worse thing that could happen?
And vengance doesn't mean killing... As stated, it says "get even", not "if he hits you, go kill him".
Yes, but my point was that if both were getting revenge on each other for each hit that was exchanged, it would never end. Someone has to turn the other cheek at some point to stop it.
You've gotten that one so wrong it isn't even funny...
Yeah well, its hard to get things right when they're making rules for life and don't bother to go into too much detail with them.
Green Peace? Pah! Enviromentalist nazis! And when were human more than animal? Take a look at history man...
That's my point. To a Satanist who accepts the fact that humans are no more then animals, then shouldn't they be taking care of their home; The Earth?
No, it mean we like to have sex, we like to enjoy fine meals and good drinks, we like to do things our way, we like to give the world the finger and sleep in, and we dislike being told what to do.
D'uh, who doesn't, but you can't do any of those without conciquences. If you did what you said above, constantly, you'd end up on the street.
Unless, like you said near the start, you do in things in moderation, which is going against rule 1. Meaning you would be a Satanist Lite at best. :
Ah yes... And all the souls in Satan's army will be obliterated, and not forgiven, by the fascist "God" who won't share his "paradise". I've heard the tale before. Tell me, Mulletman(if you'll pardon me calling you that), but what particular xtian faith do you belong to? The girl who told me that tale is and adventist.
It says in the bible that those who did not give their life to the Lord, at the end of revalation they shall all be judged. Meaning, if you're a good person, you go to heaven, and bad go to hell. I think. It doesn't actualy say that, just 'they will be judged'
But think of it this way; (I used this parable before but I'll say it again)
Let's say you're parents are supporting you with money while you live with them and work out of town. You decide that working sucks and you want to do things you own way. So you steal 1,000's of dollars from your dad's life savings and go and piss it all away on sex, fine foods, and other indulgences.
Then you realize one day, you're out of money and you can't find work. So you decided to go home and you can say one of two things;
1) Hey dad, I'm moving back in and I expect to get more money.
2) Hi dad, I'm sorry. I've been a moron, will you forgive me and help me get back on my feet?
if you said 1, do you really think your Dad would let you move in again without a hint of punishment? I severly doubt it.
And Mulletman will work just fine
And when did you become an expert on religion? OK, so satanism didn't work for you. Pity. You found a substitute in xtianity, good for you. But stop telling other that "it sucks, because I tried it, and it failed". I tried smoking once, and ended up almost coughing my lungs out(figuratively speaking), but I don't run around decrying smoking as dangerous. Some xtian fundies passed a law here in Norway that forbids smoking in resturants, bars, etc, simply because some longtime bar workers had developed asthma. I didn't support that law, even thoigh I'm a non-smoker and have allergies.
I've only been a Christian for a few years now. So i'm so not and expert, but I've done enough in my life to know better. Also, I'm still finding my niche' in Christianity. So far I'm just reading the bible and taking its teachings to heart. Though, I went to a Partners in Harvest church last weekend and I liked it.
Which brings me to a really interesting thought I had about the bible. Its been brought up here, that its not the most well written book in history. But I don't really think that matters. Let's say there's this hidden moutain trail that hasn't gotten anything offical on it yet. What you have is the journals of many people who have walked that path. So you can read it as much as you want to and compare the differences in the journals...
but until you actually walk that path, how do you truely know what's right and wrong?
A few years ago I picked up a guide book call the Holy Bible and I started down the path to God. I'm finding out from day to day what's really important to me from this book as I continue on. And with God's help, I think I'm doing really well concidering where I'm coming from.
anyways... back to the topic at hand....
I pity you Mr. Mulletman, for your conversion has blinded you to the possibility of other enjoying what you didn't.
How do you know what I have and haven't done in my life? I used to call myself Egomaniac666 online. I've had lots of sex and even threesomes. I've gotten drunk, high, and had a full, large, meat-lovers pizza to myself and asked for seconds.
Looking back. They were rather pointless experiences. The only thing I gained from them is the knowledge why I'm never doing them again!
Trying to feel fulfilled on fleeting moments of pleasure like that seems silly to me now. And living day to day just waiting for the next time you can feel like that again is just.... a waste of a life. In my opinion. You're not getting anything done, you're wasting money on something that could cause you great pain later. If you're drinking, it more then likely will be causeing you great pain in the morning.
Heheh... oh my... I'm probably going to get a lot of angry replies to this post. But, its a free country right? I have the right to my own opinion about things.
p.s.
I have nothing against people having a few drinks, heck, Jesus drank, he could turn water to wine! Its getting drunk and loosing all your money for a night that you can't even remember I have a problem against. If you really want to do that, try this;
Walk into a biker bar, scream out "Harley Davison sucks!" and you will wake up in the same condition as if you've been drinking all night. But if you leave your money at home, it won't cost you a dime!
