god

For most of my life I went to a Christain Church, up untill the priest asked me to put more money in the collection tray. Then I became a Baptist, I was baptized here and didn't think much of it. Most of my life was shitty and I was abused as a child and I was always told by the Church that if I asked for help I would get it, every night I prayed and I belived I would get what I asked for from the ALMIGHTY GOD. I never asked for things I wanted only things I needed such as to stop the abuse....it never happened. At the age of 13 I became an athiest and started reading. I tend to lean more toward the Wiccan religion as there is no god and there is no devil, no heaven and no hell. I believe that Earth is our creator along with the elements. "The Devil" is not the devil, He is Mulengro and he exists in everyone of us. The Church tells us he is The Devil and should be suppressed and ignored. Quote from the book "Witchcraft Theory and Practice" "Within Mulengro resides our ability to protect as well as to procreate and perpetuate, our sense of union with our planet and with those things on our planet that have not yet been subdued, tamed or destroyed, and our ability to work sympathetic magic." Mulengro has 7 faces and they are referred to The Seven Deadly Sins. Well I that is my opinion. Peace and Love

Poem from the book "The Feast of Flesh & Spirit" by Ly de Angeles

Mulengro

I know your Name now, you Liar!
You, the killing machine of the soul!
I'll tell!
I'll tell!
If they can hear me they will know your Name also!
Too late! You are known: "Divide and Conquer"!
YOU ARE THE LIE THAT CLOSES OFF THE GATE!!
Your Faces, they are 7!
Your essences, they are 7!
Your Powers, thay are 7!
And together they are you! Mulengro!


You are Greed!
You are Envy!
You are Guilt!
You are Deceit!
You are Denial!
You are Expectation!!
You are Assumption!!

Peace

JSTA, how can faith bring you happiness? its only an answer to an impossible question (is there a god). i dont get it, please explain

I mean to say, you look at all the Christians/Jews/Mormons, they all seem happy to me. I'm talking about the HARDCORE ones. In my opinion though, they're being brainwashed. That's where it goes back to, "do you want happiness, or do you want the truth". I don't know if you've ever read Brave New World, but if you did, it'd be easier to make more sense out of what I was sayin. For me, growing up Christian, believing in God, and then all of a sudden realizing he's just nto there can be kind of depressing. It was hard for me to take at first. But I honestly believe that that's the truth. Did that help at all? lol

yea. i can understand people find a meaning in life by beleiving in a god. the question they dont ask to theirselves tho is: whats the purpose of a god? lol. all this is nonsense

isnt that sentence a paradox? if you belive that everything happens for a reason isnt that the same thing as beliving in fate?

Acctually Fate and Destiny are two seperate concepts, Fate is a place you will end up living or a career you have. Destiny is "everything happens for a reason".

are you sure its not the other way around? youre probably right though

alright man, listen.

not everyone that believes in god is an unquestioning bible-thumping christian that goes to church three days a week. don't ask about our beliefs if all you're going to do is tell everyone they don't understand anything and whine about humanity's imminent death.

not everyone places their beliefs on faith and hope. many actually have real reasons and experiences to account for their belief in god. for some who have caught a glimpse of infinity, god is as real as the computer you're typing at(those who have had a good shroom trip should know what i'm talking about...).
