I am not protesting a religion or someones rights to believe the way they feel, I am merely making a factual note in some of the root observations of Crowley (the developer of thelema, later leader of O.T.O) and the ties to the occult, if not the "cult" mentality altogether and this brand of "beliefs" that linger more in satanic views and it's deviation from base "let's all just be kind to each other" with out the live sacrifices or preying on weak people to get our own "souls" happy.
Don't turn this into some form of Jesus worship denying other religions, this is not what I am talking about. I never said all those who are interested in magic or even believe this stuff are bad, I am merely recognizing the potential for this cult business to be pretty deep and encompassing more that many will expose on the surface. Don't twist my words into something they are not.
Read up on Crowley and his beliefs and the O.T.O. look for the Presidio day care incident in S.F., this brand of the occult absolutely draws more crazies than most, there is just simply no way to avoid attracting crazies when you worship evil..... he wanted to be called "The Beast 666," he called himself that.
Quote:
From The Book of the Law, by Aleister Crowley:
With my Hawk's head I peck at the eyes of Jesus as he hangs upon the cross......
There is no law beyond "Do what thou wilt."
From SATANIC EXTRACTS, by Aleister Crowley:
The Oath of Fealty
I bind my blood in Satan's hands,
All this that lieth betwixt my hands
To thee, the Beast, and thy control,
I pledge me; body, mind, and soul.
Pledge
I swear to work my Work abhorred,
Careless of all but one reward,
The pleasure of the Devil our Lord

I don't understand how refuting this is fundy protestant? It's not nice to use protestantism as an excuse to discredit anything, nor to make it seem anything more than what it really is, I'm not, but whatever, I just wanted people to know what else thelema and the O.T.O. teach before they buy into the "fun" "majik" selling parts of it.
I'm pretty sure this brand of occult thinking is going to draw a lot more "crazies" (especially sadistic crazies), than some others that aren't based in devil worship...... imo.
