I'm a catholic, but that doesn't mean I just believe in my faith, I question my faith and through patience and deep thought I can find out those questions I asked and learn about them. I even study the other religions and make their study apart of my study. This world we live in, we just believe in the religion, and I believe you just target at the religious people, rather than people like me who aren't ignorant and actually knows that we live in reality.

view100: if what you say is true, then there is no problem as long as you dont indoctrinate your children.

but in this cause you also are not a real roman catholic. if you disagree with any of the beliefs that the pope clearly defines, then there is a problem. people even get excommunicated just because they support the idea of female priests or because they dont actively oppose abortion. they get KICKED OUT.

are you a catholic, or are you a non-denominational christian?

Einstein once said "Without science life will be to boring, without faith life will be to confusing." Basically saying people need faith because we don't know everything. Even if we know everything about science we will continue asking, why were we created? Who are we? Where do we come from? What happens after we die? Faith is a separate and larger world than science because of these questions. Yeah we know that there was a Big Bang and the universe was created but why did it happen?

view100: your einstein-quote is nonsense, it does not represent einsteins views. just google for ``einstein religion´´ or ``einstein quotes belief´´, you will find some longer and more vocal quotes that completely contradict this one.

about your questions: most of them are just bad questions. like: which color is the best one? what is the largest natural number? why do some things smell so awful?

I didn't say he uses magic(k). He uses a very mean mix of different methods of coersive persuasion. A friend of mine went into that trap and a friend of my brother had to go into rehab 25 years ago when Fra. UD was testing his methods. Fra. UD is a very ridiculous example for a "magician", you see, I made a hobby out of taking his books apart. They are easy to debunk. "Eismagie" is a fraud, a rethorical joke that some people take serious, much to their own disadvantage.

to make slaves you use coercive persuasion, watch my videos about it.

magick has nothing to do with it. you dont need that to enslave people. well, you need it to have something you can make your followers believe in so that they discard rationality and behave according to your rules, coercive persuasion makes them believe, the belief can be eismagie or dianetics or the quran.

An important point about the practice is: you get experience, and getting experience is never a waste of time. BTW: I could give you some information about the german "Frater V.D." (in english he calls himself "Frater U.D."). He is indeed dangerous and has a little cult, uses his form of magick (he calls it "Eismagie") to make slaves out of those that follow him. Send me a message if you are interested. Ah, and search for "disinformation grant morrison" here on YT (is in my favorites).
