The cult of Bohemian Grove

With this body, I’d be a fool not to.

Ayn Rand was a writer who founded the philosophical/sociopolitical school of Objectivism, which shares some common ground with Libertarianism but is a distinct movement. She grew up in the Soviet Union in the early years after the Revolution, emigrated to the U.S., and spent the rest of her life positioning herself as far away as conceivable from the Communist/Socialist position on everything (except for its atheism, which she shared), including basic ethics. In Rand’s system, based on “the virtue of selfishness” (which is the title of one of her books) nobody ever has any positive ethical duty of any kind to anyone else, apart from the duty to respect another person’s rights.

LaVey was saying that is what (his version of) Satanism is all about – the virtue of selfishness. (See The Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth and The Nine Satanic Sins to get a feel for what he meant.) With “trappings” in the form of rituals because rituals are fun and focus the mind. But he never said anything to imply he believed such a being as Satan actually exists. “Satan” is just the pet name Satanists give their own egos.

No more than you would to a six year old who was passionately trying to convince you that Santa Clause exists. We come down pretty hard here on sloppy critical thinking here, but learning that your a kid and so may not be totally entrenched in their beliefs beyond hope, might help people to cut you some more slack in hopes of educating you, rather than giving up on trying to convince you and settling for mockery instead.

First it was, “Let’s talk about rich leaders and their private club”, to, “Just kidding, let’s talk Satanism”, and then we learn, “We’re all Satanists. LeVey is our leader. Here’s a video that proves it.” :confused:

Surely you aren’t saying that this thread took a turn for the worse? Because it started off pretty silly.

Can I have it?

(I’m 1/4 Bohemian so I’m Bohunkier than you.)

Czech it out!

‘‘The god of half of the world is like some Santa Clause, i’m gonna educate people that don’t agree with me using my super logycal and powerful brain’’

What does Tim Allen have to do with any of this?

yes, you got the main idea :smiley:

On All Hallow’s Eve, Tim Allen travels the world on a 12-meter owl and delivers hot dog buns to all the billionaires of the world.

Goddamn it, the rich get all the free stuff.

And the other half?

Heathens. Or rich or satanists or Ayn Rand followers or… something. I’ve lost track.

I know, I know! Maybe they’re Bohunks.

:smiley:

World has only one half. The owl had eaten the other half. But the illuminati media won’t say it to you.

So, you’re saying that the 4-equidistant Time points can be considered as Time Square imprinted upon the circle of Earth? In a single rotation of the Earth sphere, each Time corner point rotates through the other 3-corner Time points, thus creating 16 corners, 96 hours and 4-simultaneous 24-hour Days within a single rotation of Earth – equated to a Higher Order of Life Time Cube?

checks to make sure this is the pit

Oh good.

Dude, what the fuck are you looking for here? Your conspiracy theories are incredibly lame, and have no connection to reality; we haven’t had a new poster quite so insane and persistent since, uh… kanicbird? Of course, kanic had the good sense not to call us idiots. You, sir, did not. So let’s make this clear. Your standards of evidence are abysmal, you believe sources with absolutely no valid backing. Collective evolution? What the fuck is wrong with you? That site has about the validity of Whale.to! Take your stupid fucking bullshit and GTFO!

QFT.

Additionally, the 1st law of God’s tremendous Universe is order! Absolute all-embracing, ever- evolving, ever-recreating, ever-loving order! Exceptions eternally? Absolute none!

Ohh dude, don’t get so madd. One more angry man can feed the owl a little more faster. And even a little more is bad :frowning:
