i love these religious debates, lol
this is the exact right thing to say, well done exile
sorry to the christians but preaching a religion is in fact attempting control, what makes it worse is that their religion forces it apon its members saying they must spread the word of god, its kinda like telling a goth that they must make everyone a goth and kill a rabbit in sacrifice for each member.... lol
yea, in the uk its all christian holidays with xmas holiday, easter holidays, prayers in the hall each day, and if your not christian, ts you have to comply else your kid gets expelled for not joining in (this does happen), you have to take your holidays during christian holidays and if your jewish, muslim, they will make slight ajustments but any spiritual religions such as paganism or buddism is laughed at and pretty much taken as an offencive word, but some places are becomming better at including other cultures religions, though it will never get into schools, thanks to the government, lol
nothing in religion is a fact, there isnt any evidence to back it up from jesus down to satan, budda down to merlin (though interestingly science believes the people existed, just wernt associated with religions)
so you cover all the angles of the "god" debate, do you have pagan schools, buddism schools, etc? dont be fooled, there are a LOT of followers of these faiths, lol (millions to be precise)
santa clause was an actual living person, he was a believer in christianity but helped those who were not christian also, he was a generous man in his day who gave gifts to those in middle, lower and the "poor" classes of society, hes considered a saint because of his charitable work, not because of christian teachings so if you aint christian i see no reason why not to bring up your kids believing in a guy that wanted to help makind so used all of his money and riches to give the poor, gifts on that one day a year in his country
i know satanists
real ones not teenagers who wanted to be worse then goth
, i believe in one single thing....
The only way for children to be able to choose a faith they really do believe in and have any chance of becomming what they want to be is if YOU the parents give them the oppertunity, YOU chose your religion, let them, no matter what it is and let them be what they want to be, schools are there to teach, so why not teach EVERY area of religion, including satanism, when the kid is older and he/she becomes a true believer in something then at least then they will have learned about all the religions they can choose from and be able to make a non biased opinion, making kids only learn the ones that believe in god is purely and simply biased discrimination and you are in fact forcing your kids to believe in something, and that is why the christian faith has been lagging in believers in the UK lately, because kids just arnt interested cause they got sthingyfed only that in school and by the time their old enough to make a decision they will be so sick to the death of being forced to only learn that in a subjective opinion they would prefer to be anything but christian (and this comes from me comming from a school that only taught christian and a bit about jewish beliefs) and every person in that school i knew told me they hated it.
in summery, the only way your kids will truely believe in anything is if you teach them about all religions and allow them to fit into whatever they think makes the most sence to them
i know its hard not to want your kids to be satanists but truthfully the ones i do know are pretty nice people, they just dont share the views of christians (if thats what you consider evil)
satanists believe that god does exist but they dont want him to be a part of their lives, they used to sacrifice people in the old days but dont anymore and remember christians... your the guys who sacrificed people too (quote witch burnings), lol, they believe in the devil as a spiritual leader, (he did used to be an angel), and their bible declares that life is more important then death and that they should live their lives to the full and do what it takes to get them where they want to be. (there are some things that seem bad but no-one actually pratices them anymore, they revised the whole thing to keep to the law)
yes warrior sounds terrible
wow thats good that they have a school for spiritualists and pagans, warrior its a common thing for christians to think that witchcraft is bad and evil, but it isnt, witches dont get their spells from the devil, nor their powers, mainly cause they dont believe in him, witches have something simular to the bible which many abide by, its called the wiccan rede, it states that you should only use magick to help and aid others, if you use spells for personal gain, wiccans believe that the spell will backfire 3 times of its origional power, they call this the threefold effect, many pagans dont believe in the threefold effect so they do spells for themselves but its mainly used for helping others
in my experience spells dont often work on yourself
witches manipulate their enviroment by moving energy, if you tried moving your own energy you might mess yourself up more then you started, lol
heres some history for you warrior
when henry the 8th was the british king there was no healthcare, when all the monks departed and no longer offered help from their monestrys due to henry the 8th forcing them out when people got sick there were no-one to help them, the monks no longer offered help to them and do you know who they went to for help... witches
yep, the witches went round healing people with herbs, medicenes and spells and kept the country going, and then christians got back into things, had the witch burnings and decided as the witches praticed something that was considered not a skill of god (healing people) they hung them all!
everyone has different morels, reigion doesnt come into this, morels are where you draw the line to your actions, religion is a personal opinion
summery of convo, allow schools to teach and allow all religions, we love santa, satanists are nice people, no preaching plz, allow religious holidays for each individual person, religion aint facts or morels, keep schools for spiritualists, let your kids choose any religion they want and teach them equal amounts of each, history proves that what we consider bad may not be bad and what we consider good may not be good,
, goddess bless witches and boom daadee boom im all finished
