[QUOTE="GGWP, post: 34586, member: 93"] In summary... I must say thank you for your earnest reply; I can see why Satanism would be a liberating way to explore oneself and engage with the world with a rejuvenated candor. So Satanism then is a sort of whitepill (whereas the blackpill would be the truth of the world, whatever it may be), uplifting the veil of religious dogma and simply having fun in the sandbox of existence. Yeah I agree that this whole Orthodox resurgence has its roots in aimless young men trying to turn their masturbation addiction into a transcendent battle of good and evil, which is lame and has roots in solipsism imo. If it helps people have moral rigour and direction then good for them, though. You speak of slavery and such, but could religion not be seen as a symbiosis? Certain belief systems are self-organizing in that they consolidate their own survival and also increase odds of survival for the host organism. It is mystifying as to whether established religions hold any weight of truth or if they are simply self-sustaining physio-memetic organisms. It's not my place to say. I resonate with Satanism and Paganism as it's not hard to imagine the concepts of 'Daemon' or 'Egregore' as higher-dimensional organisms in the same way that a mitochondria is an element of a human, a human is an element of a daemon. The cultural organism could have consciousness vastly outweighing an individual human constituent and could also be subjected to self-reference, predation, selection. [/QUOTE]
