I'm sure they'd try regardless of my faith, and I'm also sure I'd be convicted of over30 counts of manslaughter if they tried. bat

But i get what you mean, too many are blinded by their prejudices to actually see the person they are judging.
Generalization isn't all bad though....... sometimes selecting specific people can be taxing and very very, inefficient.
So as long as they don't miss too badly its ok..... for the most part ...

depends on the type of satanist, the secular humanisic followers of Antone Levay don't bother me, actually i feel pity for them since the misguided.  now the type of satanist that are more of the traits of necromancers, warlocks, conjurers well............they better pray to whatever entity that our paths NEVER cross.

according to the judeo-christians souls of the dead are at rest, until the second coming.........aka non-communicato.  necromancers talk to demons, not the souls of the dead

hmm...... that is according to one religious system. There is little to no way of proving who is right.
however, i understand your point.


But remember that the witch of endor summoned a soul for king saul.... thou shall not suffer a witch to live...... does this include wiccans as well? And since it only refers to the feminine context, shall we exempt the male  warlock?

This is why we should just go with the 10 commandments. thou shall not kill.

also the bible itself is VERY VERY convoluted and craped up. I'll go with Albert E. and say that "The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish"
Fortunately for me i am Pretty immature myself.  grin

i see you point in some regards, most christians lump all types magic users under the broad term of satanist, or witch/warlock, i myself have good friends that are wiccans, druids, and shamans that are of good intent, but as humans, we are warned against using magic mulpitle times in scripture and the book of enoch not on the basis of good or evil, but the possibility of evil.  absolute power corrupts absolutely.  we are not god,  which is supported by most of the current religions.

we are not god yes. but power is ours by birth.... we have the power to choose. if god really didn't want us to access it(magic). he'd  stop us...... that begs the question if the Christian/Judaic god is truly "GOD"?


I ascribe to a different view on the matter. God is neither "good" nor "Evil" he just is. that he is all. not that he is the base spark of creation, but he is creation itself.

That he is not limited to one idea or code. that is is literally  ALL THERE IS...........


Its not clear but thats the gist of what believe.(for the moment)

you can only tell children to not touch a hot stove so many times before they have to learn by touching the hot stove, unless you kept them safe and sound forever in their room, but what happened last time he tried that and what good does it really do the child?

generally i agree with your post though.

(this is posted with a truly almighty "father" god in mind alright? not the god = everything thing i last posted.)

What you fail to understand is, that we are alive and growing. Our civilization is growing  more mature, we are still human yes, but as we learn more, we gain power.

More Power= more responsibility, if god did not want us to EVER learn the so called "hidden arts" then he wouldn't have let us know that they existed. perhaps now that we grow mature, he is allowing us to learn bits and pieces. as a sign that he believes that eventually grow into a role that involves said power........ all this is just conjecture however.


Perhaps since the angels already had complete control over the power god had given them, then he also held them completely responsible for their actions. and their punishment could not be ....... lessened. cheesy



(now insert self indulging monologue)

I love ignorance. it lets you dream up new scenarios and crap.
I am awesome *does a happy dance*
