that sounds nice :), where as i just almost had a mental breakdown when some kid knocked on my door and asked my dad if he wanted to buy popcorn for some boy scout thing. it was so sad i dunno why. other than that i was sad until i read this and felt calm/okay/good again 🙂 😀
Jehovah’s Witnesses used to bother me but I was clever enough to scare them away. I said something they couldn’t argue with (I forget what it was), and after that they never came back. (Good riddance.)
They’re just standard issue harmless religious nuts. They wouldn’t be so bad if they didn’t go door-to-door selling their religion.
If you answer the door only wearing underwear and scratching yourself repeatedly you can usually get rid of them pretty quickly.
The jehovahs actually keep a list of addresses not to go back too. I know this cause each time I move and they come visit me I make sure I get on that list 😉
Satan Worshippers are actually very nice people. Read the Wikipedia entry for SW’s and learn what they’re all about. I’d love to have a Satan Worshipper for a neighbor.
I thought that Satan worshippers were into stuff like sacrificing cats. Or maybe that was the Occult. I used to live around these kids who dressed in black, wore jewelry with weird symbols, and did terrible things to stray cats during night-time rituals.
A: The nature of sacrifice is to give up something of yours in order to get something more important. Wiccans do not feel that the life of another creature is ours to give, therefore we would never kill an animal in ritual, as we would not consider it a sacrifice. Wiccans also believe that the Goddess is the Mother of All Life, so why would she want the destruction of one of her own creations.”
So generally it seems it would go against their ethics to kill creatures.
Yeah, the type of Satanism he’s referring to is actually pretty interesting. Very logical. They’re not theistic, they view Satan as a symbol and idea rather than a deity. It’s more a philosophy than anything, but can still be considered a religion. It’s actually quite intriguing.
No.
According to legend Lucifer was an angel in Heaven. He was God’s right hand man. One day Lucifer rebelled and said “I ain’t gonna be your ***** no more” so God kicked him out.
Lucifer was the serpent in the garden of Eden who tempted Eve to taste the forbidden fruit. Lucifer/Satan wanted humans to be aware. God wanted them to be obsequious, servile obedient fawns.
A smear campaign has been launched, and in effect since time immemorial depicting Satan as evil and God as holy perfection. Of course these are all just stories. Folklore/legend/myth. But if you do some research and forget about pre-conceived notions you might have once held, well, it’s interesting what you might find.
I suppose that many mythologies had the idea of the rebellious second-in-command individual who decided to branch off and start an uprising. In the Greek myths, Chronos rebelled against his father Uranus, and then his own son Zeus started a war against Chronos. Also, the Titan god Prometheus stole fire and introduced it to humans (among other “crimes”), and for this Zeus banished him to eternal punishment.
@Kenny I think Wicca seems pretty cool, I have a friend who’s into that. I’d like to learn more about it myself, but I would never become a Wiccan as it is considered a religion.
I have some respect for Wicca, for similar reasons that I have respect for Buddhism. It achieves a purpose, whether you buy into the dogma or not. The ritualistic nature of Wicca allows you to feel as if you’re doing something about situations that you have no physical control over. And meditation can be beneficial health-wise as well as mentally. And I just like the general spirit of Wicca.
Would I ever get into it? No, but I have certain fondness for it anyways.
Seems like most Wiccans I’ve met are hairy, vegan feminists who listen to whiny, acoustic guitar protest rock. They’re not good at bathing, either. Patchouli doesn’t mask the smell of body odor.
You can count me out.
I like reading their literature. They have a section which helps parents debunk some of the myths and explain it in a way children will understand… “It’s not that the kingdom of heaven doesn’t exists it’s just that it’s invisible so you can’t see it even when you are wearing glasses”
Hunternightshades “I used to be a full Christian after my secret life as a Wiccan now I’m pretty much agnostic/atheist, but I do know for sure that God is never to blame.” (If they don’t know nobody does)
“Yes indeed he did created Lucifer but it wasn’t God who made Lucifer the bad guy, God made him an angel just like the rest it was Lucifer’s own doing.”
It’s about going against the status quo. When you’re discontent with how things are and you don’t mind getting your hands dirty to change things. Revolutions aren’t always pretty, easy or bloodless, but when it’s time for action you do what you believe needs to be done.
History is written by winners, too. The losing side rarely gets their version of what happened taught to future generations.
Yeah but look at the losers, are they really bad or is it that what we have always been told? These ideas people have on morality are psychological which is why the Empire didn’t prevail in Star Wars and why in almost every movie the hero always prevails because it’s what people want to see and reflects the good in us all. Surely The Axis powers couldn’t have won WW2 because human disposition wouldn’t allow for it and which has resulted in religions longevity. Otherwise everyone would have put their faith in science years ago.
The unfortunate result of revolutions, however, is that eventually the victors become corrupt and then you have to deal with another despot. I saw an interesting film about a physician in Denmark in the 18th century who had “intimate relations” with the Queen and slowly worked his way into the King’s best graces and became an important figure in his court, convincing him to change laws and make reforms where he saw fit. (The King, Christian VII, was rather mentally incompetent.) The doctor, Johann Friedrich Struensee, may have been a good leader, certainly better than a childish King lacking full mental faculties, but once it was discovered that he was screwing the Queen, despite the King’s initial forgiveness, the court eventually called him a traitor. His jealous adversaries planted stories saying he was planning to murder the King and overtake the throne, and had him beheaded.
(The film was ‘A Royal Affair’.)
@CO Well, everything you mentioned has nothing to do with the Wicca religion as far as I’m aware, so they must just have been lazy people with bad taste in music who don’t follow proper hygiene and body care. Now, veganism is a personal choice, I really don’t think it should matter what other people do or don’t eat. (Although I’m not sure how well it would work if you wanted to hang out with a vegan and grab a bite to eat, as not many restaurants or eateries cater to a vegan diet.)
Oh, I wasn’t aware that you became part of the Monarchy recently. My apologies. Which country are you ruling? Sealand?
I’m actually the President of the Galaxy so either way I’m in a higher position than you, but good for you. I’ll send you a complimentary gift basket (my gift baskets are very extravagant and may or may not contain substances that certain closed-minded people would consider to be “illegal” – but the monarchy and world leaders and the uber-wealthy can get away with indulging in such substances).
I failed to mention I’m the Prince of Nairobi? Eh, whatever.
President of the Galaxy? Hrrmph. The Emperor of the Universe dropped by for Tea last Thursday.
Actually, The Duke of Marmalade is scheduled to arrive at my estate for a polo match within a fortnight. Perhaps I could cajole the Duke into flipping a coin and settling this matter.
There’s plenty room. The Emperor of the Universe is known to be a hard partier. I don’t associate much with him. I take the best care of the MilkyWay Galaxy as I possibly can. Who do you think sends orders to re-direct meteors and all that? Me, of course. Once in a while I let one fall to Earth though just to shake things up.

I just returned from getting an MRI. I lay in a space-age tube while a loud machine scanned my brain. Beat that.
*laid
Did they find your brain?
j/k
They may have killed some of my brain cells, I can’t seem to think clearly. Whether that is good or bad I don’t know yet.
That doesnt sound fun. Hope your ok. :3
Yeah I’m fine, thanks. (:
Ok, I’ll observe you’re behaviour and if there is any difference we’ll know what’s responsible.
Thanks Kenny. I knew I could count on you.
Do you ever mix cider with lemonade? It’ll make it taste better.
It’s 3:00 am here. I had a nap earlier and now can’t sleep.
mmm I have a few times its really tasty X3
lol I drank a redbull during my night class and i cant sleep either.
Yeah, I can’t drink it any other way.
Why are there so many BrokenAngels on this site?
hmm probably looking for the other half of their halo.
that sounds nice :), where as i just almost had a mental breakdown when some kid knocked on my door and asked my dad if he wanted to buy popcorn for some boy scout thing. it was so sad i dunno why. other than that i was sad until i read this and felt calm/okay/good again 🙂 😀
awww thats good. 🙂 Hope it keeps getting better. :3
i just want to forget this day though :p goodnight!
If you find the Boy Scouts disturbing, just wait until a Jehova’s Witness comes knocking on your door.
Lol X3
i vaguely remember that happening when i was really young, they came like weekly to give us shit
Jehovah’s Witnesses used to bother me but I was clever enough to scare them away. I said something they couldn’t argue with (I forget what it was), and after that they never came back. (Good riddance.)
what religion are they again?
I think there Mormons? not sure.
They are some kind of Christian-like cult, I believe.
No, Mormons are a different Christian-inspired cult.
Oh ok thanks for clearing that up.
speaking of religion, i wonder if satan worship was made to troll the christians
They’re just standard issue harmless religious nuts. They wouldn’t be so bad if they didn’t go door-to-door selling their religion.

I think you might be confusing devil worshippers with wicans.
I don’t think Wiccans would hurt animals? I dunno.
I just found this on a Wicca website:
“Q: Do you do blood sacrifice?
A: The nature of sacrifice is to give up something of yours in order to get something more important. Wiccans do not feel that the life of another creature is ours to give, therefore we would never kill an animal in ritual, as we would not consider it a sacrifice. Wiccans also believe that the Goddess is the Mother of All Life, so why would she want the destruction of one of her own creations.”

We’ve had wiccans on this site before, proper ones.
Witchdoctors, spell casters, Buddhists, Muslims, Christians, Hindus, Spiritualists and what do these people all have in common? Suicide.

Did you know that Jehovah’s witnesses are not allowed to play chess. Absolutely true, I read it on the internet.
I didnt know that. Thats interesting.
They are also the only 144,000 people allowed past the pearly gates.

*That was supposed to show up below the other comment. Goddamn phone.
Please don’t refer to me as CO. That’s an acronym for “commanding officer” in the military. You may address me as “Your Highness” instead.

There isn’t room in the universe for two rulers. The big crocodile must kill the little crocodile. It’s the natural order of things.

P.S. Hard partier is a euphemism for “He’s on crack” which is why the state of the Universe isn’t in as good shape as it could be.

I love this site sometimes, the comments are hilarious.
