I am pretty sure that indulging your desires is the opposite of self-development. I indulged PLENTY of my desires in an unrestrained fashion for many years and the biggest "developments" were a beer gut and a bad memory.

All comes down to what you want. Want to eat fast food daily? go for it. Want to be healthy? go for it. Live hard, die young. For some that is the way to go, for others it isn't who has the right to tell them otherwise? Do what you want, and accept the consequences I think is the logic here.DavidCC said:I am pretty sure that indulging your desires is the opposite of self-development.

Mr. Crowley, are you here?
The Witches you speek of are not Satanist.. This is from the Study of Wicca. Wiccans were the Midwives and early shamin. and in Wicca we do not even have a Satan. Wiccans do not believe in a single God or a Devil. we believe in the gods of the earth and sky and nature.AikidoCal said:Satanists, witches ( originally midwifes and female barefoot doctors who where competition to men, men who used religion for that power ), and the lot of them, really have morphed over the centuries. Honestly, I think satanic religion is an oxymoron, isn't it?
This is how I became a Satanist when I was 12.AikidoCal said:Very non-typical thread for a martial arts board. I read much of it, not all. I thought satanism was to rebel and antagonize the middle ages there abouts Catholic Church. I thought Satan was simply another name for antagonist.
I don't think so, just a different set of beliefs.47MartialMan said:Sounds like people who wanted attention or couldnt deal with life's problems.

Chiristianity is not perfect either, no religion is.
ive always gotten a kick out of this phrase when it is used by peace loving hippies and the like. the truth is, a lot of the most brilliant thinkers in the past have been military people. the fact that we all discuss martial arts on this forum is a testament in that respect.SokeCalkins said:The Witches you speek of are not Satanist..

As for Satanic Religion being an Oxymoron... An Oxymoron is to things totaly different. Like "Jumbo Shrimp". Anything we study in faith can be a religion. if you want a true Oxymoron use "Military Intelegance" :mp5:

I think Ayn Rand was Satan. And I say that as a conservative.
Sorry to disagree but Wicca is one of the oldest religions. Pre-Dates Catolic, and Most others. Satanic religion is even younger than Catolic dates.rutherford said:BTW, Mr. Calkins, Wicca is a modern creation that has few links to past. Those witches you speak of would be better described by the term Pagan.
My Statement of Oxymoron was a Joke...
