The nine satanic sins/comparisons

@Dr.Satanical

Science is not dogmatic. Science is a method of reducing complexity and predicting the natural world, which should be aplied to ‘everything’ that one want’s a non-fictional answer to.

Science is more or less a religion now. Since most of the universe cannot be studied, most of the ideas about the universe are theory. Because they are theory and someone believes in them he has faith in these ideas, not fact. Most scientists only have faith.

A person of some self development is eventually confronted with this choice of service to heaven or rulership in Hell.

So what would you choose nick , heaven or hell?

[Lasko]

It all depends on how your looking at Heaven or Hell. Do you see Heaven and Hell in the biblical sense or are you seeing it as a Metaphorical sense. One mans hell is another mans Heaven and another mans Heaven is another mans Hell. Its all how your looking at the situation in regards to a biblical Hell/Heaven, or a Metaphorical Heaven/Hell as shown in a previous thread discussing Metaphorical heaven/hell.

So what would you choose nick , heaven or hell?

Years ago I would have chosen hell since reality had no appeal. Yet through my own experiences I’ve come to understand ideas that I could have never understood before. My strong egotism would never allow it. Two ideas come to mind now. The first is on “will” by Meister Eckhart and the second is on “Evil and reality” by Simone Weil. Take from them what you might but I am awed at the depth of some that have come before that truly understand what they say. I see how they coincide with the benefits of serving in heaven.

“God…does not constrain the will. Rather, he sets it free, so that it may choose him, that is to say, freedom. The spirit of man may not will otherwise than what God wills, but that is no lack of freedom. It is true freedom itself.”

4. Evil is bad because it is boring

“Monotony of evil: never anything new, everything about it is equivalent. Never anything real, everything about it is imaginary. It is because of this monotony that quantity plays so great a part. A host of women (Don Juan) or of men (Celimene) etc. One is condemned to false infinity. That is hell itself.”

5. What is real?

“A test of what is real is that it is hard and rough. Joys are found in it, not pleasure. What is pleasant belongs to dreams.”
– Gravity and Grace

If you look into it you’ll see a striking resembelance (plagarism) to Ragnar Redbeard’s “Might is Right” which pre-dates the “Satanic Bible” by quite some time. LaVey was a great speaker and showman but was hardly creative. His lack of originality is a hinderance to all debates related to satanism.

There are 7 deadly vices(sins).Of course there is an inumerable amount of sins-veniel or capital.I hope this clarifies the confusion.

[fire_water_earth_tim (fire,water,earth,timecube)]

i was confused about the diffrent words that just can’t be summed up into one i mean so it’s religion doesn’t always need a glossary does it?

[Scottish_guy]
