You're On Your Own

'...You want to truly experience freedom? Then you're on your own buddy. Go out there and discover....'

I'll be honest. I have not met any other Satanists where I am, and yet I openly declare myself to be an author as well as a Satanist to the most conservative people. I do not make new friends saying what I say, doing what I do, but I did not become a Satanist j...ust because I wanted to make new friends.

Religion gets to keep communities believing because they have a society. People meet up after, go for picnics, play Bingo, conduct all these activities that make you feel part of something. People like it, and it makes them happy.

Bottom line though, it is all a distraction. You want a community? Fine, there are many interest groups to look into; but if your intention in becoming a Satanist is because you want to make friends with like mind, good luck buddy! We're not the most popular people out there, and because of this, you're all alone.

The Godless Heathen

Saturday, 02 February 2013 20:24 GFP Columnist - Haresh Daswani

The inhabitants of the polar region worship heathen gods - Not even the extreme areas of the North have been spared from ungodly goings-on and the adoration of the Devil—the savages of these climes request the aid of false heathen gods, even in insignificant matters. - Full Image Below.

Satanism and Open Mindedness - I usually keep my philosophy to myself when in public. When asked, I simply tell them that I am an atheist who also follows Shaivite and Satanic philosophies. I see the surprised look in their face, and do my best to explain things in its simplest form (which is mostly focused on our view of love and the universe). This has helped me avoid debates that are typically a waste of time.

Why do I avoid debates? Simply put, debating to a religious person is a waste of time. I followed the Satanic philosophy because I was open to explore different things and concepts. I was open enough to change my mind and accept if my understanding of anything is wrong. I am open to accepting I am wrong from anyone, provided they give me a very good logical support.

Why does Hate Even Have a Right?

The right to hate and choose to pass laws promoting hate does exist, and you will find it surprising that it exists in almost all countries as well.

The question is, how do we define hate to which we say it is imposing our laws? Simply put, the moment we discriminate, and put laws on discrimination, then we are promoting hate. If we endorse specific faiths and limit the rights of the others indirectly, we are promoting hate. The moment we impose our belief to the other side that has nothing to do with us, we are, in fact, imposing hate.

To further this fact, when a country bans same sex marriage, they are actually promoting discrimination, by omitting the right of a couple to be in legal communion. One has to redefine and ask themselves, if the couple are happy together, and are not causing harm to the community, why should we stop them from being together?

A Day and Life Without God

Sunday, 23 December 2012 00:00 GFP Columnist - Haresh Daswani

'...The concept of god as we all know, the creator, the mass murderer, and overall terrible guy has to be brought forth and revealed...'

God's power rests in the weakness of men, in their blind belief and ignorance. Once man realizes his potential, understands that all resides in evidence, and life is on enlightenmentl; will be the demise and end of the god and his agents as we all know them.

God has always used wars to prove his point, but one does not kill god with wars, one kills god with enlightenment. One kills god with realization of his very real character and power. The concept of god as we all know, the creator, the mass murderer, and overall terrible guy has to be brought forth and revealed if we want people to realize what world we can live in without the existence of god.

Once god is eliminated from the equation, the usual scenario brought up is "what world will we live in if no one believes in god?". I pretty much would have to say "a better one".

Shift

Friday, 13 January 2012 00:00 GFP Columnist - Haresh Daswani

The smile in the faces of children, the blossoming flowers, and the first morning rays of the sun is eternal proof that Satan really loves us and the world.

All it was is poetry, and I should know, I would write a lot of poetry and focus on imagery and the effect of each word to the reader.

This also has to say that my writing style has been different, very different, because I write in a poetic sort, with more focus on how the word would stir emotions rather than conform to proper basic grammar and structure. Poetry sinks in a part of the brain that controls emotions.

The Real Illusion in Front of Us

Monday, 21 November 2011 23:55 GFP Columnist - Haresh Daswani

'...the illusion of false Gods and their representatives, clad in bright robes in external places of worship, looking outwards towards the sky and hoping for salvation...'

We now stand face to face with arguments between which is the right government, we stand to argue on which is the right religion, or sit over coffee and discuss another celebrity scandal that we should not really care.

We judge, we compare, we argue, and we get stressed. We cry, and in the end, in all the remaining parts of our life, we cannot seem to find bliss. We stick to the need to have the most premium material goods, to believe that respect comes from being a materialist, from power, from association, from everything around us.

And as we push forward with these belief, what have have created is someone else that is respected, but what is respected is not us.

How can we ever be respected if we do not value ourselves? How can we find value in ourselves when we have to externalize our value through objects and tyranny? We are indeed the most valuable assets in the evolution of the universe, or to point at the very least, the entire universe, and yet we have discounted ourselves heavily by being deceived to believe that it is something else that gives us value and not us. Invariably, we truly see ourselves as the body and not the soul.
