No TET I don’t believe in any of that stuff. Having been brought up to believe in the devil and stuff I used to, but not anymore. Again, there is absolutely no evidence to support anything like that. If demons wanted to possess people, why don’t they do it to atheists? It’s onky people pre conditioned to believe that stuff that are involved.
It’s a religious conditioning that plants these beliefs and low and behold a religious guy tries to get rid of them. Back in the dark ages people with all manner of mental illnesses and conditions where deemed possessed. They weren’t. They had anything from epilepsy to schizophrenia.
Remember I recommended a book, The Demon Haunted World, by Carl Sagan? I know you believe but give it a read and let me know what you think.
Also, if I believe in an all powerful god, I can’t sccept the Devil being allowed to cut about. It’s a contradiction and is more to do with our species need to create good and evil to explain stuff they couldn’t understand.
However, if evidence was produced that wasn’t personal or from religious people whose whole game means you have to believe, I would look at it.
Why do they hide? Why do they only attack people who believe in them? If you plant nonsense into people’s heads as children it sticks and grows horns. Literally.
Read half your book.
Anything in particular you want me to comment on.
AT this point I would say his assumptions are flawed but its interesting read non the less.
He likes to lump lots of things together to fit his argument.
But then qualifies his own opinion with I might be wrong on several occasions.
I havent yet heard anything that he attacks Catholic dogma with yet with any great veracity, mostly against things that Catholic church call heresay.
He a bit a of a shitebag in his attacksif im being brutal.
Nothing soecific just lots of little pokes without any great depth to reason.
He does endorse Neitche as a hero. Remeber that he is a known occultist. And he promotes the theory of evolution which contrary to popular opinion has never been proved. He demands that science requires solid assumptions solid theory and enough data to hold empiricism to high levels.
Yet his own assumptions are flawed and he castigates things that not enough data is aavilable then throws it in the bin. But then qualifies it by saying that may be a bad way to proof something is false.
He kind of hints that Science is superior to meta physics and metaphysics is the old preisthood and science the new. But contradicts himslef by saying no human has authority to do that.
He mentions natural law which without God would be satanic or luciferian natural law thuis i suspect he is of the Albert Pike fraternity or the theosophists.
He obviously thinks he is a superior human being and his kind of mind being set to rigid set of rules without a foundation makes his opinion very important. Important enough to talk about druids and witchcraft and altrnative medicne as some kind of authority simply because they do not fit in with his code of assumptions which are just as ridiculous.
He doesnt liek religion but talks about sceince as superior to religion although forgets it was thye ctaholic church that pretty much invented empiricsm and have much stronger set of base assumptions and longer history of scepticism than his own assumptions.
Forgets that Catholic church has many religious scientists and to date no science has ever contradicted the dogma or doctrine of the chruch succesfully. Lots of theories that if they were provaeable might cause ripple rethink on certain issues. But that has never been done to date. He tries to discredit stuff he knows nought about by lumping it into big ball with lots of garbage which is not a very scientific thing to do.
It is something the luciferians and the theosophistc and modernist new agers do very often.
Science came out of theology to end alchemy and gnosticism
Sagan puts science higher than theology and philosphy based on false assumptions that empircism trumps revelation.
But some things cannot be empricically determined.
The theory of eveolution is falling apart due to the findings of data that were not available when the theory was formulated but evolution is part of the masonic hierarchy blueprint. Darwin was mason and theist. God dided after he made everything. And well theists are just satanists under new name. Since the creat architect in the sky who bring order out of chaos is lucifer the first creation but god is dead and lucifer rules the immanent creation.
You see how the luciferian dogma wants o break the chruch. The mystical body of christ.
Tell lots of truth about things which are garbage lump it together with something which is true and the ordinary mind falls for the lie that the truth is garbage.
Now step aside and let man create a new law a new world order. fulfilling the orde rout of chaos.
The universe has always been precision it has always been like a giant clock created at acertain point in time and will end ina certain point in time.
The creator is supernatural meta natural and is god of all and every individual as well.
Luciferian dogma is man is God
SO worship the lcuifer in you. The reptile brain within. Satisfy your urges and fuck the law of nature and moral codes.
reject your neo cortex and reject the creator of everything and be god yourself.
There is no need for law
Do what thou wilt.
And that is the overriding principle of the mother of all heresy is about. And Sagan seems like he is a a self worshiper. He lives yet he cant see the proof of God before his senses.
Which measn he really is quite blind scientist.
For without imagination, intellect, will, memory and ability to self reflect he would not be a human being and if he wa not a human being he would not understand anything yet he does agree with lubos biblical quote.
Wonder and awe of God is the beginning of wisdom.
For wonder and awe of what he doesnt undertsnad is why he went into astronomy yet he failed to put into pratice the rest of the Trivium and Quadrivium which seeks after God. the pinnacle of truth.
He choose poor assumptions and luciferian doctrine to having the wonder and awe that is required to find Wisdom which is a virtue of the holy spirt and part of the mystical body of christ who through whom all things were made.
Begotten of the father, consubstantial with the father transubstantially present in the world today through the Holy mass of the One true Holy Catholic and apostolic church.
The scripture states that The Chruch is the pillar and foundation of all truth.
The church loves science. Real Science and Poor Sagan is in his own words a psuedoscientist.
He makes assertions beyond scientific research that he arbitrarily castigates without any scientific reasoning.
He is either a deluded muppet or a luciferian theosophical masonic puppet. Either way his psuedo scientific writing in the book you recommended are interesting but easily swatted away with his very own creation of scientific research and assumptions which i will say again and not robust rigorous or solid enough to be clasified as authoratative but again on several occasions he does mention that its his opinion and he is not an authority. And he also mentions that no human is an authority. So if he is an atheist what authority does he respect?
