You better be carefull with that ghost it might be a demon you better leave because imaginary friends are always bad news i had a friend who had a imaginary friend and then he was found dead cause of death unknown but they found his lung closed up be careful
His lung was closed up but they don't know what killed him? That sounds like some shitty detective work.
Everyone loves horses, but these are not your everyday horses. These horses can levitate, or fly through the air. Most people do not realize when they see someone or something flying through the air that this phenomenon is pure Satanism. Further, many of these horses are Unicorns. In fact, this TV cartoon so popularized Unicorns that we see them today in jewelry, clothing, paintings, and figurines. Many Christian families even own Unicorn representations in their homes. Do you realize the Unicorn has been occultic for thousands of years, and is represented in current New Age literature as being representative of the violent way in which the New World Order will be finally brought into existence? Occultic folklore has traditionally pictured the Unicorn as the destroyer of the old system, a necessary prerequisite for the New System to be established.
Did you know God utilized a Unicorn-type animal in His prophecy in Daniel 8:4-5, in depicting the final days' Anti-Christ? Do not be deceived: the Unicorn is not the sweet, gentle, and loving animal which is portrayed. Your children are being manipulated into believing a lie, and setting them up to accept the Anti-Christ when he arises.
Did anyone ever read a book by Johanna Michelson called "The Beautiful Side of Evil"? Christians are more and more being deceived by Yoga saying things like "it really helps my neck or back" or "I just want some exercise". Well of course it works. And wicca works and divining works and hypnosis often works. Just because something is of Satan doesn't mean it won't work.
So following Satan gets results? I'm not sure that's the message you want to be sending.
Note that in the Middle Ages, the unicorn was perhaps the most popular symbol of Christ, being a powerful animal that could only be brought into contact with humanity by a virgin.

One of my Jehovah Witness pamphlet's I was readying took a page to talk about Tequila. Just a short little blurb on it's history and how it's often enjoyed.
Christianity gets a lot of flack because of some of the prudes in it, but credit where credit is due. The religious is much more laissez-faire about alcohol (in moderation, of course) than many other modern religions.
Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
Plus, there's the wedding at Cana (if I recall correctly what the place name was) where Jesus turned water into wine, so the Bible doesn't really condemn it.

I'm not sure I like Paul that much, to be honest. Granted, it's mostly because he threw a snake into a campfire once, and even with the symbolism and all, I don't think that was necessary. Of course, as a reptile nerd, I'm a little biased, but still...

^^^Very astute observation.
Paul got quite a bit more specific than Jesus's "Don't be a dick." And it's often Paul's specific teaching regarding married life, drinking, homosexuality, etc... that get tons of focus from the fundamentalists.
In fact, fundamentalist Christianity seems to be based on the teachings of everyone but Jesus. Except when Jesus says things that can be used to justify self-righteous dickery.
St. Paul gets a bad rap, but Christ was the one who talked about Hell while Paul seems to imply universal reconciliation (I Cor. 15:28, Phil. 2:10, etc.)

" When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all. " I Cor. 15:28 (NIV)
Little Brahman joke there.
'Course that isn't the only interpretations of that verse, and different translations give very different meanings.
Justice: Ah yes, I would interpret it that way vs. other possibilities. On the other hand, it's not something I made up: it was Origen's interpretation.
As to translation, I was quoting the New American Standard Version, which preserves most of the Greek syntax even at the expense of awkward English.

One of China's indigenous religions. The line between Taoism and regional Chinese animism beliefs is blurry at best.
In a way, one could say Taoism is almost an organized version of Chinese animism.
The teachings of the Tao are pretty Zen like. Take the first few lines of the most important book in Taoism.
1
The tao that can be told
is not the eternal Tao
The name that can be named
is not the eternal Name.
The Tao Te Ching is only a tiny part of Taoism, however.
It covers the philosophical aspects, well enough (though they are expanded on in other books), but doesn't go into great detail about other aspects (Chinese afterlife, various Gods, Alchemy, Immortals etc...)
The "end goal" in Taoism seems to be "eternal life" (which is possibly synonymous with religious enlightenment in Taoism). There are a number of ways to go about this, from the sensible (good diet, exercise. behaving in a moral way, etc...), to the bizarre (having sex as little as possible, or practicing various Tao tantric acts), to the downright dangerous (drinking so-called "immortality elixirs" which where sometimes made with lead, sulfur, arsenic, and mercury).
The religion has had well over 2,500 years to develop, so there are lots and lots of books and teachings on it.
Some texts seem to simply suggest having sex a lot is actually a good thing, and another suggests the sex with women younger than 18 (especially virgins) would lead to immortality.
Though, it's been mentioned that sexual rituals alone are not enough for immortality.
I should mention that Taoism has many not so weird beliefs as well. Chinese new year rituals, for instance, are will grounded in Taoism. Related would be stuff like the Jade Emperor.
I also like the story about the guy who went to the Rabbi who told him "do unto others as you would have them do unto you. That is the essence of Judaism. Everything else is commentary".
Basically, I can respect any religious person whose centre of their belief is "just be nice, dude".

The golden and silver rule get a lot of mention and religious scriptures. Confucius taught the silver rule as a ("Do not do unto others what you would not have them do unto you ") universal way to conduct oneself in life.
i get so angry sometimes i just punch plankton --Klinotaxis
They wouldn't be religions, then.
Also, the rules on their own aren't exactly perfect. Religions also help explain WHY you should be following them (hence, the part in the quote about commentary")
I guess I've never thought of it that way before....
But that depends on what part of the "Not having a baby" you use the imperative on: You could wish it to be a universal law that peoplethink it over carefully when deciding to have kids or not, which is good.

Hell as Ambassadors, and there's a demon that supervises Satan's wardrobe.
Hell, in fact, has many very political possessions withing it's hierarchy.
Belphegor is the demon prince that represents sloth. Also Hell's Ambassador to France.
Thamuz is Hell's ambassador to Spain. The name derived from a Sumerian shepherd-god. It's also the name of one of the Babylonia months, in honor of the god. He also appears in Paradise Lost.
Mammon is the demon prince of greed, avarice, what-have-you. He's Hell's ambassador to England. He's definitely better know than the other two, being actually in the Bible. He's also in Paradise Lost as well as the Constantine movie, and a whole bunch of other stuff. It's possible that he was a Sumerian god as well, but I haven't found anything the conclusively shows that.
Long story short: my friend accidentally captured a friendly entity in a black tourmaline crystal and he wants to free it. The crystal was lost somewhere and it could be anywhere right now.. Does anyone know how to free an entity from a crystal that is not even with you anymore? I really appreciate the advice.
I think this is one of those occasions where "long story short" really doesn't cut it.
Yeah, how is anyone supposed to offer advice on how to free the entity when they haven't even told us the process by which it came to be trapped there?
