dude, where the hell were all of you when I posted this thread? (IMG:

http://www.sacred-magick.org/index.php?showtopic=2720Anyway, magic and religion are intertwined of that theirs no doubt. One might say that the social church doesn't accept magic, but why would I listen to the mindless cattle of conformity? I think anyone who chooses to take time and consider the truth will find that it's very 'christian' and very 'muslim' and so on and so forth to practice magic.
The roots of religion come from "magick" and spirituality, but what happens when there is a monotheistic religion which keeps their grounds by saying there is a heaven and hell and if you do not succumb to what the Bible says you will burn in Hell?
Do you seriously think that the Christian church wants people to learn magick? what happens when the people learn necromancy or mediumship (communication with the dead)? How are they to have ANY power by rule when their heaven/hell is proven false in that many people don't believe it?
Muslims and Christians are hearded enough not to practice magick (for the Bible and Quran condemn it). Why? because some greedy egotisticals who want the power to themselves don't want us to have that power. Besides Christ healed the blind and saw the future, which makes him "the son of god", so why should religion allow us to seek that power and see that their teachings are half-arsed crap?
Who runs American politics? Christians right? How often in Western (primarly American) Society is it that you are most oft to find spiritualism in schools and the work? Free masons did not accomplish their ordeals.
If you think that Spiritual Christians are "Christian", then atleast say that you're either inventing a new word or they are a totally different religion. Islam, Judiasm, and Christianity condemn magick/spiritual practice for all the same reason.
Maybe I did not fully understand what you meant in the link you sent and the point you were trying to make; if so, disregard my prattle.
