I myself have read the Bible and the Kuran but never managed to get convinced by either. I was raised as a Catholic and we regularly went to church when I was younger. Eventually I stopped going and so did my parents really. I consider myself an atheist.
Some parts of both books seemed very reasonable to me and I have to say I’d be more inclined to agree with a lot of things in the Kuran for some reason. But there were also parts that I didn’t agree with. And parts I have no opinion on (no hunting during Hajj for example, as a vegan and someone who is not doing pilgrimmage).
Anyway I’ve always been interested in religion and I’d like to read some religious/spiritual books to take breaks from the marxist stuff from time to time. Maybe Budhism or something. What would you suggest?
Do you find any value in LeVayan satanism, or do you just like learning about weird stuff? I don’t really like the Ayn Randian hedonism, but it is fun to troll Christians.
well…there’s interesting things on lavey’s writings, but i think about laveyanism more like “edgy atheism” with a pinch of libertarianism more than genuine satanism, given his own interpretations about satan and religiousness
