Ouroboros Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 I've never gotten Satanism. It's just so... Christian, just flipped upside down, or rather inside out. Good point. I had a feeling of what you said, but couldn't directly put words to it. Satanism is like a sub-culture under Christian culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mymistake Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Maybe this thread should have been moved to the Ex-Christian Spirituality section . . . you know . . . where people wouldn't bash the new guy's religion just because it's different.

Antlerman Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 I've never gotten Satanism. It's just so... Christian, just flipped upside down, or rather inside out. Good point. I had a feeling of what you said, but couldn't directly put words to it. Satanism is like a sub-culture under Christian culture. Here's a little Norwegian black metal black metal to inspire you by, if you're not familiar with it yet. And yes, those are naked people on crosses covered with human blood. It's an interesting upside down version of Christianity. IMHO. Also, here's an interview with the Satanist lead singer of the band. At right before 6 minutes on this, he goes into this blank stare without blinking or moving for 3 solid minutes. If you listen to the full 5 part documentary you get a good feel for his "religion". He has been arrested several times for sadistically beating people to near death. This is no 'hype' thing for this person. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avnsgYvHPK8&feature=relmfu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foolish girl Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 a literal Mindfuck. I don't know you, but I'm not buyin' it. Paint me Thkeptical. I think you are a Christian trying to prove how "bad" we are, by getting us to appear to agree with this nonsense. 0_o 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lunaticheathen Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I'm into other spiritualities that might be called "anti-Christian", like Vodou and Kemetic paganism, but they're just outside of it. I don't see them as "dark" either. That's a silly christian dualistic idea. I find satanism to be utterly goofy, but whatever. I agree with Antler, it's so deeply couched in christianity that I am just turned off by it. It feels no different from christianity, just angry and emo about it. Bleh. And if this is Thumby, bite my fat heathen ass, kthx. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eugene39 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 As I said, without Christianity, Satanism doesn't exist. The proverbial light bulb came on this morning about your statement, and it now makes perfect sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you can imagine, this site gets all manner of trolls so new members whose viewpoints are somewhat different are sometimes looked on with suspicion. If that's not what you're doing then sorry...stick around but be prepared to have your spirituality challenged. If that is what you're doing...stick around for the ride anyway. You might learn something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VacuumFlux Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Eventually people get too old for sex, then what? Will never be too old for sex When I was a young undergrad, one of my classes was being audited by a wrinkly old lady. She was old enough that it was free, which is really a pretty cool thing the university does. Her husband came too, but he just sat in the back and seemed mostly deaf. We were discussing a recently released movie, which included complaining about its gratuitous sex scene. As the discussion wound down, the professor turned to the elderly lady and asked her if she and her husband were planning to go see it. She said "That sex scene, is it good? If we can't do it, we may as well watch!" The stunned, horrified, shocked silence from the room full of undergrads was priceless. When I get "too old" for sex, my plan is to be that lady :-D 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duderonomy Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Alls I know is, with God and the dog watching (let alone that "cloud of witnesses" that certainly included my great-grandma), it was very hard to focus during fornication back in the day. ............................................................................................................................................................................................................ anuway, I think the need to have one's sex life approved by a god in order for it to be good or fulfilling is no different then the need to blaspheme one's former god in order to make it better. I understand the rush of freedom, I really do, but either way Jesus is still in bed with you. Have you read the first chapter of Job? Do you suppose God and Lucifer are placing bets on who's name you'll call out when you orgasm? C'mon man. It sounds like you switched teams, but are still on the same playing field playing the same game. In this corner, Roseary Beads...in the opposing corner...Tarot Cards... If it floats your boat, fine. When the hate wears off, you can call out my name if it helps. ............................................................................................................................................................................................................ Too old for sex? Reminds me of a cartoon I saw once. There was a very old couple in bed, the man was sitting up speaking to his partner. The caption was "Shout dirty to me!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezer Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 It's a little of topic but I have a question and I don't know where to post it. Sexuality and Christianity is a topic that interests me. I encountered a lot of sexually messed up and confused people during my 40+ year association with Christianity. I once served as an Elder in the Church of Christ. I heard a number of “confessions” about sexual issues and concernes people were dealing with. I've done a bit of study and research into this topic due to the teaching commonly associated with Christianity and sex. IMO, it's a pretty serious problem for many Christian people and couples A fellow Elder, and close friend, came out of the closet and announced he was really a woman in every way but physically. He resigned from the Eldership, left the church, divorced his wife, and went through all the operations to transition into a woman. He is physically a woman in every sense of the word now. He obtained his PHD and teaches college sexual and gender issue classes in another city now. And yes I still consider her a friend, but due to the physical distance between us now we only occasionally communicate by email now. I bring this up because I see there is a forum for these issues but it’s restricted. I assume there are qualifications to gain entrance to this forum but I can’t find any information about that. Can anyone enlighten me on the qualifications to obtain entrance to that forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The three active moderators we have now are Ouroboros, Nivek, and Antlerman. The only qualification required is that you are a member of ex-c and you are an ex-christian. That's all It's password-protected to keep the fundies out. Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
