• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

stop fighting guys

Jebediah's back!!! :clap: AND with a new icon, I see? What's the story there? :)

At any rate, I'm glad to see you.

And stop fighting, guys. :D

I was banned for a month. Apparently I am controversial ;)

As to the icon change...originally I got tired of having to explain I wasn't a Wiccan and such when I said I was "pagan"... "dark heathen and Left Hand Path ceremonial magician" is such a mouthful and requires so much context for any real understanding. SO, for a good long while I was just saying "Satanist" to non-initiates.

Now, the opposite is becoming true...people keep thinking I am a Laveyan, or one of Diane Vera'a theistic Satanists, or a Setian, when none of those are true. So I am simply listing myself as "pagan" and then if people ask me I can tell them the details.

Besides, more and more I am thinking that Hermetic magick, at least as presented in the modern era, is full of fundamental errors of metaphysics inherited from neo-Platonism. I am currently attempting a revamp of Hermetic thought that dispenses with this incorrect framework, which will fully oust the Jewish/Christian dualisms and proceed instead from a healthy heathen metaphysic.

Can't see attachments, do me a favor, read a book about HTML coding and upload your stuff.

Typical Christian, ordering people around and a feeling of entitlement. I don't care if you can see...making fun of morons is about the audience, not the victim.

BTW, maybe you should go ask your spiritual father about being drawn into contentiousness. Don't stop though...I love to see corruption.
