Hello everyone, my name is Kirstie Styles,
I'm not sure how a blog works, and I have never taken the time to learn, but I decided to create a new blog and express my thoughts and feelings on certain issues, beliefs, government etc.
My first post as you can tell, is about religious beliefs.
~~~
To start this off, I want to talk to you about my views on two specific religions: christianity and satanism.
Christianity has probably been around just as long as satanism has, possibly longer, possibly shorter. I feel over time the christian faith has slipped slightly, and this is why.
I frequently go on a game called Transformice, and the other day I had a ten year old child trying to tell me to change my faith to Christianity, simply because he felt he could convert people to the faith and change the world.
I did feel a lot of pride for someone so young to be trying such a thing, but he was forcing a faith on others that maybe some people didn't wish to listen to, didn't believe in or some other form of reason. Now when he was talking to me about trying to convert me, he was telling me how my beliefs were wrong, and that I was tainted by the devil.
I personally do count myself as a Satanist, but not one that is dark and evil. Now when I told the boy this information, he told me how I should rot in hell for not believing in God, and for not being a Christian.
This is where my judgement truely comes in. I have some wonderful neighbours who are Christians, they are kind and caring and they do have a strong belief in God, but they accept me for my faith as well and accept that my mind is stuck to my belief, yet they also know I am fine with their belief too. They don't pass judgement on me, they don't feel they should change me and they still let me babysit for their children as long as I do in fact make sure their children pray before each meal and pray before bed.
Now this is how I always thought christianity would stay, but in modern day times I feel that this has changed severely.
This ten year old boy I was speaking to really opened up my mind about how faith has changed over the years. I know that Christians are kind and good hearted people, but some are cruel. Some will tell you that the bible teaches certain things such as how God despises gays, lesbians, bisexuals etc., but surely if God created each person in his own image then this is what he intended? Afterall, nobody is perfect and nobody can help how they feel about another being.
Secondly, the Christianity faith has become one of judgement in modern day times: if you do not believe in God, or if you mention the words "oh my god" in any context, it is blasphemy. I feel that modern day society has corrupted a good religion, where some of the people involved in it will accept others for who they are, but the ones who are of a stronger christianity belief feel they need to judge, feel they need to convert and feel they need to tell others how to live.
I shall leave my views on Christianity for now, and move onto Satanism.
Now I myself do count myself as a Satanist, and some other Satanists believe my views that yes, the devil is in fact good and is looked down upon simply because he brings forth temptation, the deadly sins and tortures bad souls in Hell.
I personally feel that the devil will bring forth these temptations and sins to see if we can beat them through will power, to almost test us and see if we are worthy people. Through this, if he feels we are too evil or too corrupted, he will punish us in hell how he thinks is suitable, depending on our crimes or how we have chosen to live our lives.
Now, seems how I believe in this, there is not much I can truely say, but one thing I can say in fact is that in modern day society, Satanists whether they be of a more evil nature or like myself of a more open minded nature, they are severely looked down upon and are almost labelled "avoidable" just because of their faith.
For instance, I remember I had to go to A&E at one point and they asked me what my religious views were. I was honest and told them I was a Satanist, and the receptionist there simply stared at me for around a minute before she finally told me, "I will put your religious views down as other, unless you think we need to put down you feel you are a Satanist." Now I thought this was too judgemental, just because I have a different belief to others. This is the society unfortunately I have been brought up in, where you are judged if you are different even by the slightest bit.
~~~
Here is where I will now pass judgement to both religions: both may be different, but either way they are there in the world. Some may believe that Christianity is a lie, some may believe that Satanism is evil.
I say that this world is too corrupted by many religions, many views, and we have tainted ourselves into passing judgements like this because each of us are too different to another person and therefore must be looked down upon.
Now, if you feel I am talking too much here, I shall stop here, and let you comment or simply think on what I have said, or you may feel the need to have stopped reading by now, but while I have voiced my opinion here, I hope others will see my views, and understand that my mind is complicated, and I will have many a view to pass which cannot be expressed in words, and many a judgement myself.
If you wish to comment on your own views, then it would be nice to hear how you think on religions, and it would also be nice for me to see other people's views on religions, and by this I mean not just on the two religions I have decided to focus on.
I hope I hear from any readers I may have in the future, and I also hope you will follow me on here, and wait to see any views or thoughts on other topics, perhaps even suggest a topic you would like me to express my views on and see if they are similar to yours.
Either way, stay in good health, and may everyone be safe.
Goodbye readers.
Until next time.
