What is your opinion of talking openly on this forum with me about lodge business and the mythology of Masonry? We could use the books, and everyone could follow along?
Because the devil is a made up idea. Made by humans who don’t think they have any agency in the world. They want to believe that some outside source is corrupting them. What they really need to understand is, that it is just normal biology, and those feelings come from themselves. It is their responsibility to control themselves, and that they should not blame others for their own actions.

They were history channel docs.
Even better. I'd love to see these 'History Channel docs' on Luciferianism.
Do you believe in the Devil? I don't. I think you are more likely to be a Luciferian than me since you think that myth is real.
Oh, and please, please, please, someone throw out that lame trope about the greatest trick and all. Please.
Why don't you believe in the devil?

Well, you certainly couldn’t admit to it if you did know. That could actually leave you open to criminal liability.
But.... there is definitely room in the words to justify it in some cases?

Because I'm not a child and don't believe in fairy tales.
That actually wasn’t the lie.

That has been the lie since day one..."Ye shall be as gods"
evil is just a term we use when an act is deemed egregious. What we are really talking about is, why do humans hurt eachother? And the answer to that is usually because that person was neglected in the care, love, and understanding that we need to grow into compassionate and caring adults who accept responsibility for themselves.

I don’t think anybody but you would’ve come to that conclusion. This is what is referred to as a strawman. Learn to recognize it, so that you don’t use it.

Perpetrating despicable behavior and getting caught because of it are two wholly different things.
Scumbags hurt other people, and the even bigger scumbag is the one who blames it on a make believe creation. [/

No, they are the ones being protected and the only explanation for evil being deemed as good and visa versa.
