Seven Deadly Sins

We’re told to avoid and be afraid of the Seven Deadly Sins, but I disagree. These “sins” are necessary and even beneficial. They should be sought out rather than avoided. When used correctly, they can make us a better person. Like everything, they only become problematic when used to excess. As a reminder, we have: Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, Pride All of these are motivating factors in life and relationships. Lust is another word for attraction and desire. Lust can motivate us to find a partner. Lust combined with Pride make us take care of ourselves and look enticing to our partners. Lust stops us from wearing torn sweatpants and pizza stained shirts. You have to ask, which comes first, Lust or Love? And can you really have one without the other? Gluttony makes us savor food and drink. Gluttony motivates us to try foods from around the world not just frank and beans or bread and curd. […]

Summoning a Demon

This is a concept I have a hard time with. I keep seeing articles and books about using Satanism to summon demons, pray to literal Satan, and control supernatural forces. Most people use the same language and iconography the their books on Satanism. There’s also the cool satanym (Satanic Pseudonym). However, these highlight prayers, chants and affirmations to the Devil. I can’t come to terms with that being Satanism. Not only is that diety worship, which isn’t my thing, it goes in a direction I’m not on board with. To split hairs, summoning the Devil, would be devil worship. That isn’t part of Satanism, at least nothing I would associate with. There are a host of problems with this idea, the most obvious being, “worship,” and demons don’t exist. Satanism and Devil Worship are two different things. There is a difference. There is no demon worship, or worship of a higher power in Satanism. The self is a god, so […]

You don’t have to benefit, for it to be a benefit

People are wrapped up in this backward idea that if they don’t personally benefit from something, it’s not a real benefit and they support it. One of many “marriage equality” attacks is, “If everyone can get married, then my marriage isn’t special. Marriage should only benefit me, and me alone. And others like me. But, not exactly like me, because I’m special.” For me to win, and feel good about my win, and thus myself, you must lose, and lose badly. If ridicule can be added, then the win is all the better. There are dozens of things we all “support,” but don’t get an immediate benefit from. Still, it’s a benefit. Simple examples: I don’t have any school aged children, but I pay school taxes. All my taxes have a line item for it. Help, help, I’m being repressed. Why am I “punished” when I get no benefit from these damnable school?! Obviously I do. Better schools benefit everyone. […]
