Body Piercings, Tattoos = SATAN

[Sinz]

You can spot irrefutable evidence a society has embraced Satanic values by many methods, but the visible evidence of multiple body piercings and tattoos are the strongest of all. But, few people understand the use Satan makes of piercing and tattoos to control the person! You will never look at the “Mark of the Beast”the same way again.

So Satan is a tattoo artist?

Did you ever think that body art is important in other religions, pagan especially, and as such, was deemed unholy by the authors of the bible, or leaders of the church?

Or did you think stealing holidays was the extent of religion fucking with pagans?

I have yet to see any evidence that "Satan" existed before the Vatican.

A lot of society embraces values that are similar to [Laveyan] Satanism without realizing it, namely egotism and materialism.

Not to mention you completely misunderstood the "mark of the beast."

"And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."

This is undoubtedly speaking of a persons name you can find with Gematria not body modifications.

Calling piercings and tattoos the work of "Satan" is just fear of others beliefs.

You have evidence he exists now? I appreciate the spirit of questioning the existence of an invisible malevolent force that only religion can save you from (please donate money now).

But.........

Satan existed in the bible before the Vatican.

He existed in the Old Testament, whilst Rome was still worshiping Mithra and Jupiter. Read Job or Chronicles in the OLD TESTAMENT for example.

Satan is a force that exists in the universe.

He's not a personality.

A force.

Kind of like gravity.

Unlike gravity we can't measure, see or interact with this force at all.

Satan was created to personify all of what the creators of the Abrhamic religions deemed detrimental to the success of their religion.

Satan is what L. Ron Hubbard would have created 5000 years ago, instead of the thetan implant.

Personally, I find the authors of the bible to be better at writing fiction than Mr. Hubbard.

Only because you're blinded by convention and reason...

I've seen "Satan".

Hell, I saw him today.

He's an active force in my life.

The scope of what this universe contains is far beyond the imagination and definitely far beyond modern so called scientific thought.

ps: the whole thetan thing comes from a mix of gnostic theology and the doctrine of the many selves

see also the red demons of seth

Sinz's point seems to be at best irreverent in nature. Things like body art and and tattoos are evil from his perspective, and his perspective is no more valid than that of other humans who have valued these arts as cultural norms for millenia, such as the Polynesians.

And as for Rizzo, not even the Pope would agree with you. John Paul II himself said that Hell is not a real place, but a state of mind, and thus he meant likewise for Satan. I think we can all get past Medieval concepts of religion.

Blinded by reason?

Are you talking about the phenomenon human beings such as your self utilize on a daily basis to survive and prosper?

What is better than reason? Nonsense, like God, soul, Satan and afterlife? This shit is better?

Tell me in what capacity.

A naughty voice in the back of your mind?

If so, then your bar for the supernatural is PAINFULLY low, my friend.

I would not say it is beyond imagination. Someone imagined a God, soul and afterlife, which pretty much explains the whole thing.

The only problem is (and you have to admit) there is no way to test the shit. So, it COULD have all been bullshitted. It could be a big fat lie, humanity has choked on for about 5000 years.

And this so called scientific thought....

Your superstitious bronze age beliefs are far superior to modern medicine, how?
