Blasphemy
?¨We are blasphemers against the twin gods of logic and rationality.?Æ
-Tequilarius Malignatus
?¨It is a mistake to consider one belief more liberated than another?ñLiberating behavior is that which increases one??s possibilities for future action. Limiting behavior is that which tends to narrow one??s options. The secret of freedom is to not be drawn into situations where one??s number of alternatives becomes limited or even unitary.?Æ
-Peter J. Carroll
Are you a capitalist revolutionary? A communist robber baron? An anarchist totalitarian? A hierarchical freedom fighter? Do you believe in the existence of the monotheistic God, yet think you have free will? Or do you claim to deny that God??s existence yet claim to have an intrinsic self? Do you claim to revel in chaos, yet are afraid to let go of your mind? Do you speak of magic, yet deny its reality? Or do you speak of reality while denying its magic? Do you preach the value of chaos and confusion while ending up with love and prosperity? Do you preach love and prosperity while ending up with a shattering violence and hate? Or have you seen through the games, including the game of supposedly seeing through the games?
There are no holds barred in existence, despite what authorities may try to tell you. The only limitations you have are a few physical ones determined by nature and many other ones determined by your environment and actions. Karma is the poorly understood inconsistent concept of the malfunctioning mind attempting to justify its inaction and its stubborn resistance to change. The adept creates situations in which they make their own decisions. If you find no choices in your life??s path, start creating some of your own. If your self feels all the options are exhausted then banish that self and create another one that will not avoid life. And banish with impunity. It is best to have many selves, or aspects of you, as possible so that one never runs out of alternatives. Remember that hell is the condition of having no alternatives. So create your heaven and grab it by the balls if necessary, so to speak. It is your choice.
How to live in the chaotic flux of eternal change when the rest of society is happy with the inertia of a so-called progress leading to nowhere? After all, one with awareness can perceive that society is caught up in building its own kleshas or what some occultists call the demons of obsession, Choronzon?ñthat trap of mind that convinces people that they are following instinct. The Tantric master knows that such demons of obsession, whether products of your mind or independent entities, will stifle you and torment you with what appear to be exciting things unless you own up to your responsibility and take possession of those obsessions. The Chaoist knows that any agreements she may make can be broken at any time she chooses, as those agreements are her own creations. If this sounds like a blasphemous heresy, you are right. Except I may be lying?ñand you will have to investigate this on your own.
If you are searching for a way out of any stifling oppression and can not find that way within your own heart-mind-body, you will never find it without. No god can be relied upon unless you make a pact with such a god. In any event, the choice is yours. And you must remain aware of the self-interest of any such god in maintaining its hold over you once it can establish such a hold. Such a god will try to cajole or threaten you into believing that you can not break any pact you make. But don??t listen to such drivel. It takes two to tango, but only one to leave the dance altogether. Any god that seeks to make itself an authority over you is unworthy of worship and offerings. Such a god will not show the way to liberation. Whether that god is one from the religions or mythologies, whether it is a thought form such as an ideology or philosophy, or whether it is a strong desire, it can not be a god unless you choose to make it so.
Accusations of sacrilege and blasphemy should only serve to convince you that you are becoming free. What does heresy mean after all? Choice. Replace all orthodoxy with Discordoxy. Instead of playing the devil??s advocate, be your own advocate.
?¨I tell you that you are free.?Æ-Eris
The laughing anarchy of freedom is forever a threat towards, and a blasphemy against, those humans or gods who would set themselves up as authority. Since that??s the case, what the hell do you need them for? If you can not call your goddess a bitch without fear of retaliation, than she is truly not a goddess you need?ñwhether or not she actually does retaliate. (Most likely, she will laugh and call you names too.)
The gods are not here for you to submit to, and any of them that say so are lying. Pop their bubbles as readily as you would one of your friends?? bubbles. An ego trip is an ego trip whether belonging to yourself, another human or a deity. In this case blasphemy becomes a necessary skill to learn. You can say that this is mad. But it is better to live in the freedom of insanity than to live under the so-called sanity of slavery. Better ODD than DUMB. Do as you will shall be the entirety of true love. Unless I am lying. But find out for yourself. Do not let yourself start wilting. Do not take my word for it. Make up your own.

8 year pity bump. :)

Hugh; getting more attention due to thread necromancy than he ever did while he was here.
IS TROOF.
Blasphemy is a fucking ridiculous concept anyway. If I blaspheme against someone's God, and I don't get struck down on the spot, then what right do said God's followers have to judge me? If their God were butthurt by my blaspheming, then he can sort it out, mano et mano. If he doesn't have that power, then he's pretty much a pussy, and not worthy of worship, or followers. So fuck JHVH, Allah, Zeus, Thor, Odin, FSM, or any of 'em. Right up the arse with a big spiky stick! Bite me Motherfuckers. :argh!:
Caveat; Pan & Eris, I didn't mean you. :p

Please to leave Dionysus out of it, at least until after the brewing contest tomorrow...
