seems funny that people have to try and find some "philosophy" to live by...no matter which side of the spectrum one chooses.
We can be really irrational creatures.
as anyone who has read my posts knows i am an atheist - a non-believer in any god or in any devil.
i found the following interview to be quite interesting.it is from the february 23, 1986 washington post magazine.
i encourage everyone to read it and see what the founder of the satanic church had to say....in many qays he sounds like many of us here.. it is interesting that anton lavey(the founder of the church) did not believe in god or in satan.. here is the article: http://www.churchofsatan.com/pages/wapost.html.

indulgence instead of abstinence.
vital existence instead of spiritual pipe dreams.
undefiled wisdom instead of hypocritical self-deceit.

"Satan is a symbol, nothing more," LaVey says. "Satan signifies our love of the worldly and our rejection of the pallid, ineffectual image of Christ on the cross."
LaVey believes in neither God nor Satan, and his Satanic "religion" is a parody of Christianity - with a heavy dose of magic, as in "Sorcerer's Apprentice" magic. But LaVey doesn't worship Satan. The devil is a symbol of man's carnal nature - his lust, greed, vengeance, but most of all, his ego, all drives LaVey says Christianity has unfairly labeled "evil."
READ the article...Dont be afraid of your own preconceived notions and fears!!!!!!

So do they describe how you REALLY feel now that you have discovered freedom?
There is one more statement you might consider, in doing so you may be surprised to see the source of the statements:

sometimes political orientation is described through a left-right axis only, which is obviously inadequate as it tends to associate gandhi and stalin, and make pol pot a radical and hitler a conservative.. this is a good, short test that asks you a number of questions and places you on a two-dimensional axis.. take it here: http://www.digitalronin.f2s.com/politicalcompass/.
i took the test and got the following result:.
your political compass:economic left/right: -1.12. authoritarian/libertarian: -6.21. that is, centrist with a slight leftist bent, strongly libertarian.
Authoritarian | |||
Left | Right | ||
Libertarian |
in my opinion posting porn is much less offensive than the biggotism being shown on here today?
is it ok to slam americans like this?
this is a crock of bullshit!!!!!!!
Simon,
Why am I the person being rapped over the knuckles here?
Ozzie...you are a class act...I have always thought the world of you.
gentlemen,.
your posts were out of order.
you bring shame upon our country, and i feel angry with both of you.. there are certain rules that people abide by.. 1. you never insult / criticise someone's kids unless you want their parents to hate you.. 2. you don't foist your religious beliefs upon others, because, in so doing, you appear to be taking the moral highground, and this is extremely irritating.
Eman...quit trying to pick up American Women!!!!
what do americans in general actually really know about the big outside world outside of their own culture?.
it's certainly not just me, but for years since early childhood in fact, it has been commonly accepted by many, that americans in general are the biggest ignorant fools residing almost anywhere on the planet, yet they still do their damndest to have everyone believe what a great nation they are.
is it even beyond their comprehension how foolish they look often to the rest of the world, the fact that they have so little understanding of problems on the worldwide front?.
