Ah. Religion. Everywhere I go, it seems, someone is telling someone else who they should be, how they should live, what they should fear, ect, ect, ad infinitum.

"You're gonna go to hell".

Really? How do you know that?

"The bible says so".

Oh. So because some 40 + men from a culture both foreign and ancient wrote a compilation of works over a span of approximately 1500 years and several governments utilized these texts to control the masses; this somehow makes it credible?? Sure. Of course. I mean, it was written in the middle east, so it has to be true, right? What about the i-ching? The Al Jiwah? How about the poetic Eddas? They were taken from old world culture. Are they all true as well?


"You need jesus!"

Really? How do you know? Not withstanding the two men I*ve met who died of cancer after having some "elders" lay their hands on them and pray in faith, as their bible instructed them to in a promise that they would be healed; and even if one disregards how TWO THOUSAND YEARS later, the world is really no more "Holy" than it was before, even ignoring that the vast majority of Christians live the exact same lifestyle as most: pagans, heathens, jews, muslims, wiccans, Satanists, buddists, darwinists, atheists, ect, ect, ad infinitum; I can, even then give you so many reasons why I don't need to be a christian.

I like My "sin". As you call it. I lust after beautiful women, I have premarital sex, I Am Prideful, Arrogant, Ambitious and competitive. I Do Not turn the other cheek. I Do Not love My enemies; and I Never do good to those who hate Me.
I represent Indulgence (Not compulsion) rather than abstinence.
By the Way, I AM Asatru.

So wouldn't it be just slightly hypocritical of Me to claim a religion and belief system which Completely contradict almost everything I believe and practice?

I don't say these thing to seem heartless, or without honour or common sense. I believe in Family. I Believe in Loyalty, courtesy, and human Decency. But I firmly believe that to deny one's nature is to be a liar in the most wretched sense. For this deciet is Self deciet; and if you can't even be honest with yourself, how can you be honest with anyone else? No. To take the very Instincts which sustain our survival as a species and pleasure as individuals and call them "Dirty", "Immoral" or "Evil".. This is The Real "Sin".
