Hello all. I thought you guys might be interested in something that happened to me.
Several months ago, I began dabbling in chaos magick (google it if you don't know what it is). I thought it would be cool to summon an entity to do stuff for me, so I found an easy ritual to do. Long story short, it worked and I ended up getting possessed by whatever I summoned. BUT, it's not like what you're thinking. It does live in my body, yes, but in return I gained incredible social skills and a new zest for life. It never takes over my mind or body, I have complete control of both. I got all this at the cost of having an entity live inside my mind. Is it worth it? Yes, I'd say it is. I could easily force it to leave but I choose not to.
Ask me anything.

who said they are accepted? Usually the very first responces to any topic dealing with christianity or the like are usually heckled right from the start. For every openminded discussion relating to this topic, are ten more saying how idiotic religion is, there is no god, and so forth. It's a trolls paradise! Here I was thinking this was a place for open minded induviduals to be able to constructively discuss or argue every welcome and unwelcome side. Alas... It isnt so
Being open minded has absolutely nothing to with blind faith. The real open minded people are agnostic or atheists who are open to change their views if there is enough evidence to back that up.

Radicalism of any kind, is a nuisance.
Religious or Political.
The only way to handle those people, is to ignore them.
Because they won't listen to any facts or anything that goes against their way of thinking.
And if you do speak up against them, they will flame you for days or years, or forever...

I remember three years ago when I joined this site, there wasn't alot of christians on here. When someone said they were a christian, they were usually laughed out of the room and no one took them seriously. But since I came back here, I can't help but notice the staggering amount of fundamentalist christians that have flocked to this site to spout their biblical conspiracies. I do respect their beliefs, as long as they respect mine and keep their beliefs out of my face, but nowadays it's rare to find a christian like that. Most christians on here are brash, arrogant, and often willfully ignorant of facts. And yet everyone seems to accept them despite that. YOU might respect someone who says "fornication is a sin" and while I respect their right to believe what they want, I cannot and never will respect ridiculous beliefs like that.
But yeah, like I asked. Why are fundamentalist christians accepted on here? I have no problem with them coming here, but if they're allowed to preach ridiculous claims on here, we should be allowed to argue with them without being warned or banned.
Note to mods: I am not bashing christianity. I just made this thread to ask why radical christians are accepted on here.
But christians aren't seeking answers. They are militantly convinced that they have got the answer and everyone else is wrong and damned to hell, spouting ignorant, often hateful garbage at the world.
Religion is the greatest hypocritical, oxymoronic human experiment ever invented.

You are wrong, it's all in your mind. There are no more christians accepted here. We've been here all the time, you didn't noticed it. Did you asked every member about his or her religion?
Also, What make you think we have to be accepted or rejected?...Do you think ATS members discriminate each other for their religion? That would be something Mods wouldn't tolerate.
You hate christians and/or God. Now you realized how many we are and that made you mad.
As I always recommend to people like you, seek help.

Oh, that's funny. Because I dislike radical christians, it means I'm an atheist or someone who hates god? Since you were stalking my posts, you should know that I said in another thread that I AM NOT an atheist. I have a firm belief in god and/or a higher power, and I even pray sometimes. Do NOT accuse me of hating god when I have said nothing like that.
Also, you're implying I'm mentally ill because I dislike radical christians. Well, I could imply you're mentally ill for being a radical christian (but I won't).

And how, prey-tell, is it any diffrent from the other side of that coin? How are these topics radical? Are they telling you grab your guns and take up arms? Still I challenge you, show me evidence of this.

I have to agree with that, Garfee. You should see some of the U2s I get from Christians telling me I am a satanist and going straight to hell.
I call B.S.
