I decide to write this article because of what I experienced with a Christian
I was getting some oil delivered to me from an oil company that I won’t name, but they should be called john the Baptist oil!
I saw the oil truck and went down stairs to greet the oilman I walk over to him as he was coming up the stairs and said hi to him. He just stared at me with a disgusted look
I asked him if everything was all right and he replied in a sarcastic voice that it was and asked me if everything was all right with me and asked if I was a Satanist.
I asked him why he was asking me if I was a Satanist.
He said that the sweater with the pentagram on it that I was wearing was the devil’s symbol.
I had on a pentagram sweater that listed the elements and spirit to points on the pentagram. I didn’t bother to explain all the geometric properties of the pentagram like the golden means for one, and numerous other things!
I don’t think his biblical mind would have understood because of his ignorance!
I then asked him what Satan meant to him and he replied that it meant everything that would oppose god’s will for the purpose of bringing evil into the world.
I didn’t even ask him what god’s will was or even what god meant to him because I felt it would have been useless to ask him that and I didn’t feel like speaking to him any longer than I had to.
He wouldn’t have listen to anything I had to say anyways his mind was made up.
He believed that all the problems in the world from wars, murders, rape, the economy, diseases greed etc… all stemmed from this Satan and that if every one was a follower of Jesus the world would be a much better place.
I tried explaining to him that most of the problems of today are the result of the human race not caring about their fellow humans and only thinking about bettering themselves not to mention how many wars and atrocities were done in the name of religion.
He replied that Satan influencing these people to do what they do by whispers to them and putting ideas in their head!
He said that Satan would talk to him every night and tell him to kill himself and the only way to control these thoughts and evil impulses was to accept Jesus in to your life!
He told me that we are living in a spiritual time where good and evil are battling it out, like in a chess game!
The only ones that are treating people like pawns are these dam CEOs of major companies that make millions by lying and cheating!
I guess he just disregards all the people in other religions like paganisms, voodoo, Buddhist, scientology, etc. and yes even Satanist (not the Christian concept of what Satanist are) that have done good deeds for other people and the world!
The bottom line is you can’t judge someone by the clothes they wear or their religion or lack of it. Its what’s in someone’s heart that matters most?
The devil is just a scapegoat for all the evils that man has done and even if there is this supernatural devil giving you ideas to do evil things it is you that acts on them.
For instants someone shoots up some heroin and kills someone for money should we blame the heroin or the person who took it, and yes there are a great multiple of ways at looking at this. I am not going to debate that.
I am just saying people have to take responsibility for their own actions and stop putting the blame on some Devil, which may or may not exist.
The Devil is really convenient for the rich and powerful it keeps the spotlight off of the criminal activity that they commit!
Because people are more worry about a mythical being then from seeing the true assholes like corrupt government officials to world bankers that are pulling the wool right over their eyes!
Also the intolerance that most Christians have for non-believers or religions that greatly differ from theirs is uncalled for in this country.
Remember freedom to believe in what you what without being persecuted
The so called religious right in this country make me sick, but I am not trying to convert or take away their religion so why do they feel it is their obligation to interfere with everyone else’s religion
The other problem is that most people will say I believe in this or that religion and don’t have a good understanding of what that religion is all about but that is another topic in itself!
Personally I feel a lot of what is attributed to god in the bible (I believe it is in Ezekiel) like flying wheels of fire is nothing more than extraterrestrial crafts from another world!
I know laugh all you what but I can interpret the bible the way I what. Just like the Christians decide to interpret it the way they what And I feel that my interpretations make more sense
