QUOTE("a reply from the occult forums")
I think technically if you have the unfortunate luck of being christened, the Catholics say your soul is covered by their God archetype, despite no longer following the religion. So if you're born a Catholic, grow up an atheist in a 'decent, moral' home & become a protestant later on, you're damned. For one you don't take communion, you don't attend church every Sunday & as far as I see it, anything not Catholic will send you straight to hell. Basically you can follow every last primitive or contradictory ideal the church has or you can be damned in their eyes. Though this is only if you have taken Baptism or Communion. Whatever personal beliefs can revolve around Catholicism, the facts don't change of what the belief itself & church stands for in the bigger picture. One person's ideals on a religion don't matter IMO, because it is only an opinion, like mine- so if you're already under the belief that one can dominate your ego or soul, then people probably will to an extent. It is essentially the same concept as a submissive person turning their ego's over to another dominator. It is all in the mind, really.
I believe it is all about perception. For instance no-one can really have your soul unless you can say that another dominated it in the first place. One can become a sheep who unquestioningly follows a religion/ church for their whole life, never using the quality of life they have for independant ventures (thankfully for majority of people, these select people are uncommon). Perhaps this is what your friend meant?

that is basically what i meant (yes it was i who talked to him). I was really talking in riddles to manifesto so i can see this is what came out and why. really its better to read books and make your own theories instead of giving your soul to some god and to some religeon for the rest of your life (nuns..)
what i meant by get your soul back is to clear your mind of your previous thoughts to open it up to something more real. if you were raised christian (and you were you told me) then you think that heaven is the SUPREME realm. wich is a lie. so to get your soul back you really have to learn to accept that the religeon you beleived in or were taught about isnt complete fact. that is why so many satanists and pagans and occultists get these DUMB questions. itsbecause they see that heaven is supreme, hell is torture and theres nowhere else to go. Earth is the REAL purgatory and what you do here decides on where you can go in your afterlife. if you beleive in the egyptian faith, you go where egyptians go, likewise if your jewish.. erm.. i dunno where jews go.. sorry.. but you get the point
but its all your beleif.. and its hard to explain..
