Sometimes.

When I look at the complexity of nature, it's hard not to see the Universe as the work of a Designer who is aware of It's creation.ErebusNamtar wrote:a.

b. The force, effect, or a manifestation or aspect of this being.
But who knows, there might be some force out there. I however, do not believe it is sentient in that it cares for us. It's just there.
There is a Dominance Hierarchy here on Earth. I would extrapolate from, extension to a Universal Hierarchy that can be traced back to the God Source.SchizophrenicLibra wrote:I do belive in higher powers that could be called gods.
Although if it was possible to prove the existence of god/gods from within this reality it seems to me some kind of important spell would be broken.
A spell that was not meant to be broken until one leaves this reality for good.
Just an uneducated thought.
Dominance Heirarchy? What do you mean by this? I get the whole demonic heirarchy with lucifer/ devil/ whatever you want to call him at the top, but what about the other side? I get Arch angels are high up, but is there anything above arch angels? Also are you referring to arch angels here? I can't tell.Spida wrote: There is a Dominance Hierarchy here on Earth.

Whatever is the source of Creation is God, whatever that may be! Anyways, the work speaks for itself. If you take the time to look, and meditate on it(mostly informally in my case).
Ciao!

Agreed. I consider myself a hardcore atheist for this. Even if I work with deities, I won't be exactly religious. On top of that we all are gods in potential.Spida wrote:chowderpope wrote:My understanding of God aligns with the Kabbalistic model and I think hard materialist atheists are dull.
IMO, if anyone spends a marginal amount of time meditating on Creation. Then the question should no longer be whether or not there is a God, but instead, what is the nature of this Thing.
It need not be anthropomorphic, but merely a Creator God, e.g. an Eternal Catalyst. Which would be more suitable for an Atheist I suppose.
I used to be very close to what you described here. Atheist, but not satanist. I never bowed to any deity/god/whatever in any way. The only things I've ever valued are: truth, knowledge and good morale. And I intend to stay on that path.Calicifer wrote: ↑Thu Mar 09, 2017 1:48 am I find heavily ironic that people who are ought to know best still refuse existence of God. Well, first we must make distinction between a God and the God. There are many gods, take your pick and your afterlife. The God is creator. It is not conscious and does not sit in the clouds as fatherly figure. Of course, white fatherly figure, why he would ever wish to be black or appear as a women? Don't be ridiculous!
But please tell me this, if you work with Gods or dieties, how can you still deny a presence of this primal force? Evidence to it can be found everywhere you look. You can even experience God which should not complete unheard in the occult community. You should not be as blind as atheists and see deeper connections which tie together entirety of existence with unexplainable grace. I found especially fascinating all those atheistic satanists who practice their feeble magick, who accept parts of spiritual truths as real, despite on scientific level they are pseudoscience at best and yet, they deny any form of further spirituality.
