What do you believe about your afterlife? Christianity says if you do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as your saviour, it's not lookin to bright six feet under. Do you believe this?
i think christianity is a slave ethic designed to keep people in bondage. but i don't hate christianity at all, it's what is best for some people. it's a very useful tool for controlling them.

God's commandments are for PROTECTION, not bondage. If every person on this globe followed the 10 commandments to the T there wouldn't be an alley on this Earth that any woman couldn't walk down alone with $10,000 dollars in her purse.
There would be no war.
There would be no murder.
There would be no thieves.
There would be no adultry.
There would be no STD's.
There would be no drug abuse.
There would be no one killed by drunk drivers.
There would be no single, unwed mothers.
There would be no child abuse.
There would be no rape.
I could go on and on and on for 4 pages of this thread, but you all get the point.
All these disgusting ills of society are from people IGNORING God's commandments.

oh god yes!
I am just wondering because one always hears stories of satanists having giant hedonistic sexual orgies during their rituals in order to set themselves free of the 'chaste' bonds that judeo-christians have brainwashed them with, and the same thing with drugs I suppose.
sadly, no. this rarely if ever happens. the sect doesn't provide drugs and orgies as a matter of course. it's certainly not part of the average ceremony.
So do you guys advocate the use of recreational drugs and hedonism for the pure sake of fleshly lust and bodily enjoyment etc and do you guys do this during rituals or services?
we advocate having fun. sex and drugs are definitely some people's ideas of fun. there's no deep spiritual significance behind them.

It appears you are speaking of God's judgments of wrath upon the unGodly people during the Old Testament times.

That's after you kill all the non-believers though. Odd that a god who commands to not kill decides 10 minutes later to have people slaughter entire civilizations on a whim.
You're taking the God of the Old Testament (Old Covenant), and falsely attributing that to Christians, who for the most part follow Jesus Christ.

Woah, slow down here. I don't want to derail, but we have to set something straight. Just because someone claims they are Christians (and maybe they are) doesn't mean that every action they do, or any action they do, is "Holy" and "righteous." I mean, George Bush? C'mon! I'm a Christian, and I look at him in disgust. Yea, sure, all men are equal, but that guy really is messing things up. Even if he is a Christian, he is not doing a very good job of representing Christ, correct? I mean, obviously not, he just turned you away. Examples of Christians doing God's work are missionaries helping those out in places of need. I had a chance to do that when I went to Jamacia and stayed with missionaries. You can't go around and tell me that what they were doing was wrong, because I witnessed first hand lives being positively changed, joy entering their lives, and people happy all in the name of Christ.
