No Lie.

Prejudice and intolerance are darkness.

They are untruth.

There is no lie in New Jerusalem, "For the Lord God will be their light." Revelation 22:5c (NRSV)

God's Love is for all.

Even those we call evil.

God will call them by their name.

He will take them by the hand.

And bring them out of the darkness.

And into his marvellous light.

Reconciled.

There is no devil in reality.

So you may as well be reconciled to God.

Who is Love.

Religion for Dummies.

Satanism may seem like an answer for those who feel they can't live up to God's expectations.

"I'm no angel."

But is negativity an answer?

Guilt, shame, poison, sabotage, lies, hate, and hell are not really helpful.

Torture, torment, and pain are considered fun.

If they tell you to lie the chances are they are lying to you in the first place.

There is no Satan in reality.

So Satanism is really only religion for dummies.

Pitch Black.

There is so much to do.

We live in intense darkness.

People wander to and fro in the darkness, not knowing where they are going.

We are cursed.
We are deceived.
We are controlled.

Evil lingers in the shadows.


But there is a glimmer of light.

In tune with the time.

God approaches through Aquarius.

Universal brotherhood and sisterhood.

Freedom and equality.

Unconditional Love.

So take up your jar - which is your heart.

And pour out your love to all humankind.

Holistic Health.

Sex is the desire to be united with another and as such it is the antithesis of dualism.

To experience sexual desire is to become aware of our connectedness to other human beings and to the earth itself.

We are not merely separate individuals apart from others and nature.
We are interconnected.

So sex is a valuable aid to integration of our psyche.

It also leads to a holistic view of the universe.

A universe in which God is One.

And we are One with Him.

Sensible.

The New Paradigm includes a sensible attitude towards sex in general and homosexuality in particular.

The ridiculous attitude of traditional Christianity towards sex is no longer tenable.

To preach that the body and sex are the enemies of the spirit is not sustainable in the 21st Century.

Sex is a natural function of our bodies and the pleasure experienced during sex can hardly be said to be against the will of God.

The time has come to leave these attitudes behind and teach our children to celebrate their sexuality as part of their love for their partner as it was intended.

Homosexuality is no different from heterosexuality.

This is what we should preach.

Fitting In.

Parenting, education, and psychology are all oriented towards making people fit in.

But fit in with what?

The world is a horrible place.
Should we be horrible as well?

We are ruled by corrupt corporations.
Should we be corrupt as well?

Psychological health should not be equated with conformity.

Integrity, honesty, wisdom, and love are admirable qualities which should be cultivated in our children.

Unfortunately the world does not value these qualities.

But we cannot afford to just fit in.
