Sort of like the state?
-------------------- To call humans 'rational beings' does injustice to the term, 'rational.' Humans are capable of rational thought, but it is not their essence. Humans are animals, beasts with complex brains. Humans, more often than not, utilize their cerebrum to rationalize what their primal instincts, their preconceived notions, and their emotional desires have presented as goals - humans are rationalizing beings.

I didn't know logic had love in the first place? I mean..when I say.. I love you guys.. I'm not thinking.. logically.. this is the most rational thing. I'm feeling that I love you.. so I guess I've always thought love comes from emotion.

sometimes logic doesn't see love (or any emotion, for that matter) as a factor. this is when it fails to be useful for survival.

Very good.. and often we put up a barrier between logic and emotion, where one does not recognize or acknowledge the other. So ideally, an integrated being would want equal harmony between both polarities?

Sorry, just being a smartass! Actually, I think you have a point about the seperation of logic/emotion. In myself for example, in the past I encouraged the growth of my mind to a degree that it outstripped my emotional growth. I couldn't go any further with my mind until I addressed the relative immaturity of my emotional self. So balance does seem to be key. Anyhoo, I have the feeling I've drifted way off topic..this is a thread on Swam err Satanism? lol While I'm off topic, allow me to say that tonight is the next to last night I will be working overnight! Yay!! *pats self on back* " And now, back to your regularly scheduled program.. "

I remember Anton LaVey made Marilyn Manson a reverend in his Church of Satan to promote it.
It all seems like a joke, which surprises me why they don't just let anyone in.

I had an English teacher in high school who was marking provincial exams and he found one with an essay all about how the person writing the essay was being controlled by the devil so that he couldn't think of anything to wrote. He wrote pages and pages about how the devil was stopping him from writing. That's pretty weird.

Some of the principles in Satanism I use in my life, tho a bit toned down:
1. Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked 2. Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure they want to hear them 3. When in another's lair, show him respect or else do not go there 10. Do not kill non-human animals unless you are attacked or for your food 11. When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him
Those are the ones I find relevant. #11 toned down tho. Just leave if you don't like some guy. Just keep walking. #3 seems good. One should always take off their shoes in someone elses house!

Yeah.. some of them have some sense to them I especially think number 3 is important. It's important to me to respect other people's houses when I am there, as I would expect the same. Not just shoes.. but pretty much everything. But then, if you read the actual extended versions of those rules.. they go a bit far. Satanism is all about those things, but if people fuck around, kill them, or make them as miserable as possible by treating them cruely and without mercy. I don't agree with those principles. Some of the foundations of the rules I agree with, but not the intentions behind them.

The fact that this is a discussion board is sort of an invitatation for one to give an opinion.
-------------------- I may not always tell the truth, but atleast I'm honest ----------- I see what everyone is saying. It is so hard to form an opinion when you see both sides so clearly!
