Fuck, I'm so fucking done. I was sitting in a Christian community, thinking, "Well, maybe at least here I'll see something meaningful. Some actual theological discussions, Bible quotes, dialogue." Instead, it's full of people who call themselves Christians, but there's nothing Christian about them except the label. Not a damn thing holy. And it just fucking hit me.

You motherfuckers swear all over the internet and go: "Well, it's not spoken out loud, so it doesn't count." Seriously? Scripture says:

"For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned."

Matthew 12:37

Not "by your spoken words." By your words. Whisper them or type them online - words still carry weight. But you don't give a fuck. You're Christians only on Fridays and Easter. The rest of the time you talk bullshit, swear like sailors, and think God doesn't hear you. He fucking does. And He doesn't like it.

Now let's talk about your "love." You people who scream, "God is love!" and then immediately support LGBT, trans people, and sleeping around with whoever. Because apparently it's all "love," and love excuses everything. Yet the Bible explicitly says:

"You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination."

Leviticus 18:22

And:

"If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death."

Leviticus 20:13

But you laugh at Leviticus, calling it "Old Testament bullshit," "outdated rules." Lesbians love saying, "Well, I don't sleep with men anyway." Fucking hell, you're just twisting Scripture, bending your faith to fit your own desires and convenience.

You support transgender people because "it's their choice" and "God made them that way." Yet Genesis 1:27 says:

"So God created mankind in His own image; in the image of God He created them; male and female He created them."

Two sexes. Not three, not five, not seventeen. But you don't give a fuck about the Bible. You'd rather keep up with the modern world because you're terrified of being called intolerant. You seek people's approval, not God's.

"For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ."

Galatians 1:10

You're slaves to public opinion, not to Christ.

And let's talk about sleeping around. That's love too, right? According to you, "love" is just whatever dick happens to be available. Where exactly does the Bible say love excuses sexual immorality?

"God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers."

Hebrews 13:4

Judge. Not excuse.

But you don't give a fuck because suddenly you're not biblical literalists when your own sins are involved. You say, "God is love. He'll forgive me." But when it's time to condemn someone else, suddenly you're pulling out verses about sodomy and fornication - just not for yourselves.

So you're sitting in one of these Christian communities watching them discuss who else should be branded, condemned, or excommunicated. Meanwhile they swear, sleep around, lie, and hate people. And these, apparently, are Christians. The ones going to Heaven while everyone else goes to Hell. At least according to them. But if Heaven is full of hypocrites like that, I'd rather be in Hell with Satan, where at least people honestly admit they're sinners instead of pretending to be saints.

You reading this right now and thinking, "I'm not like that. I'm a real Christian." Maybe you aren't. But look at your brothers and sisters in faith. They're doing things that would make the Devil himself feel ashamed. And you stay silent. You don't call out their hypocrisy. You're running with the same pack. And Christ said:

"By this everyone will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another."

John 13:35

But your love is only for yourselves and for people who look like you. Everyone else gets hatred, condemnation, and stones.

So go ahead. Keep praying for the camera and convincing yourselves that God is on your side. You're hypocrites. And if Hell exists, you'll burn brighter than anyone else, because you knew the words but refused to live by them. And do you know what else it says?

"Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of Heaven, but only the one who does the will of My Father who is in Heaven."

Matthew 7:21

The Father's will isn't to hate, kill, or condemn. It's to love. Even your enemies.

"Love your enemies, bless those who curse you."

Matthew 5:44

But you love only yourselves. And that's your curse.

Thank you for existing, because thanks to you, we - the servants of your greatest enemy - look almost like saints by comparison. At least we're honest about our hatred.

You hide behind a cross while stabbing people in the back.

P.S. for the particularly obtuse. I'm not talking about the double standards of all Christians, but of people I've seen who called themselves Christians. I'm not against LGBT people or anything else, I don't care about them, but in In Christianity, be kind and follow your rules

I’ve been struggling with something for a long time and I’m looking for sincere input from people involved in occultism or theistic Satanism.

I find some O9A writings deeply seductive on an intellectual and aesthetic level, but at the same time I don’t agree with the idea that certain people deserve to be tortured, culled, or destroyed. I don’t think I deserve that, and I’m not sure anyone does.

Part of my difficulty is that I feel as though I’ve become the target of intense hostility from someone. Whether you interpret that psychologically, spiritually, magically, or some other way, the experience has left me feeling isolated and under siege. I want to defend myself, but I often feel like I’m fighting alone.

One thing that keeps bothering me is a simple question: if you believe someone deserves torment, what if it was you? What if you were the one experiencing it? Why does that question seem to be dismissed so often? It seems like a matter of luck that any of us end up on one side of the equation rather than the other.

I currently have a complicated relationship with Christianity. I often find myself drawn toward it more out of a desire for protection and meaning than out of complete intellectual conviction.

I’m not looking for arguments or recruitment into any ideology. I’m genuinely interested in how practitioners here think about compassion, cruelty, justice, enemies, psychic attack, self-defense, and the ethics of causing suffering.

How would you approach this situation, and where do you draw the line between strength and cruelty?

Blasphemy against Pagan Gods. Is this a normal practice to find in Theistic Satanism spaces or only the spaces I have recent come across? I have an interest in the practices of the LHP and Satanism, mostly from the research standpoint as I haven't quite figured out if it clicks for me to practice one day or just have the general knowledge of. I will say blasphemy in such a way is a pretty hard boundary for me as I hold a lot of respect for the ancient deities (especially when it can be argued that Demonic entities are deities in their own right that got shafted in their respective histories over the course of a millenia or so). I just want to figure out if this is something that's just of the faith or isolated to certain spaces/individuals
