These of course are from Satanism, my religion, which I ramble about enough.

I am my own God, the center of my own subjective universe. Nothing supernatural about that. Just Self Interest. A lot of the "why" of the other tenets are related to this one.

Avoid Stupidity and Learn from your mistakes.

Indulge but do not be compelled. If you give up your free will to choose then you're just being subjugated.

"Do something as long as its paying off for you."

Don't kill except for survival.

Live for the here and now because this is all we have.

Do not harm children. Children are naturally uninhibited from the guilt which other people heap on themselves and, like animals, are naturally Satanic in that respect.

Don't pollute your body and dilute the power of your mind with drugs. Again, your body is the only one you have. Why would you not want to take care of it?

Follow and respect the laws of your land. This is of course conditional, but many of the excuses people have and the conditions by which people constantly break the law are stupid and not based on a sense of Justice.

Alright, I've had my little laugh. Now for the serious answer.

I am a Pantheist. This arises partly from a chain of logic.

What happens when you step outside of Time/Space? Without Space, there is no division or seperation of any kind. Without Time, there is no duration or change. This is as much a matter of physics as mysticim. The result of going outside of Space/Time? An indivisible, unchanging unity.

Note: The difference between Atheism -- Nothing is God -- and Pantheism -- Everything is God -- is pure semantics. I just prefer talking about what I believe in; instead of what I don't believe in. I do not believe in a personal God. I do see a unity behind all things. There are no "tenets." This is Pantheism.

When one steps outside of Time and/or Space, they are in Spirit.

That's the theory.

What is "one" or "they" or "us" or "I"?

What is "outside" or "inside"?

What is "time"?


LOL......just playing....I think I'll stay in topic and wait for some feedback on my last post from Ken.

I think that's a good idea - you don't want to get me started.

Hi Ken,

Looks like I get to be first in responding.

My belief system is based upon philosophical Taoism.

We have no dogma and the closest thing I can relate to as being a tenet is this:

Observe the processes of Nature and learn these processes. Conduct yourself in such a manner that you have observed that brings contentment and long life and avoid those things that bring discontent and leads to an early death.

In a nutshell, that's all there is to it.

Peace & Love!

this sounds like a description for buddhism,and i would add,you are responsible for your own actions and their result.

Hi Rev. Mark,

I agree that Buddhism and Taoism do have a lot in common.

... and i would add,you are responsible for your own actions and their result.

And I will agree that this could also be added as a tenant of Taoism and Buddhism and it is also a very important tenant of the Zoroastrian religion.

Peace & Love!
