Because
darkness blinds you. Thus it is not a
strength, and if you use it as your ally, it will overcome you.
Doesn't the light blind as well?
Yes, too much
light (as in a mind shattering revelation) will blind a mere human. One should put their faith in Him who can bear any amount of light, and who is the Light of the world. Both
light and
darkness, in excess, will blind a human being.
No, people who choose this path live in a world of betrayal, mistrust, and power games that
nobody ever wins. Most Left Hand Pathers can't even live stable lives due to all of the entropy, fear, and dealing with power that is not theirs but borrowed from someone else. In the end, as said, nobody wins, and while it may seem like a poignant tragedy, it's one of the oldest stories in humanity, repeated ad nauseum.
Is Satan a metaphor?
He would like you to believe that, wouldn't he? Wouldn't we
all like to believe that? But to paraphrase and slightly modify the
edgelord philosopher F.W. Nietzsche, you
believe Satan doesn't exist, and what
good are all believers to
Satan?
Aren't the masses weak?
Are you weaker than them because you rejected society, or because you have a fundamental character flaw?
Don't enlightened people not believe in good and evil?
No, criminals, reprobates, libertines, and sorcerors, all being consumed by the
abyss don't believe in
good and
evil, and they pay for it dearly even in this life. Does that sound enlightened?
Won't I become an overman if I cross the abyss?
No, the
abyss never ends. That's the "joke". And it's not even remotely funny to anyone except psychopathic philosophers who are themselves drowning in the
abyss.
Why should I serve others besides myself?
Because you should love your neighbor as yourself, but also on a more selfish level, if you serve only yourself, eventually you'll be all alone with no one to help you.
How do I become an overman?
You don't. But in the process you kill all of your emotions, lose sight of reality or even the ability to comprehend reality, and become less than human.
Why shouldn't I seek power? It's something I desire.
Because other people desire it too--and can take it away from you. You know those things that paranoid people believe? That they're always being watched, that someone's out to get them, that their friends are plotting behind their back? All of these types of delusions become more likely to be
true the more power you gain, and so you will never find peace, only betrayal and fear.
What's wrong with Being-toward-death? It's authentic.
What's wrong with it is that Heidegger could have picked the
truth as a thing that Being-there (Dasein) could orient itself toward, but instead he picked death.
Aren't all of our lives fundamentally worthless?
You think your life is worthless because your life is not impressive to righteous people, and also, you're lining up to be discarded into
Hell.
Aren't the faithful stupid?
The faithful come in all stripes.
Edgelords come in one flavor: intelligent, alienated, and resentful, giving a bitter antisocial taste that
God spits out into the
abyss until repentance comes, if it ever does.
I am a misanthrope. I don't care what you think.
You hate human beings far less than you hate yourself.
Why shouldn't I do extremely large amounts of powerful stimulants?
Because when your compassion returns you’ll regret all of the megalomaniacal fantasies you tried to make real, the people you alienated, and the disappearance of the illusion of immortality and invincibility. Even an
edgelord occultist I encountered once warned: meth is good for zooming in on something, but it’s really bad for peripheral vision (like the kind that would let you see that you’re surrounded by psychopaths who kill people they don’t like, and you’re becoming like said killers dose by dose.)
Strictly speaking, the “gnosis” of amphetamine psychosis is an initiation into an anti-reality. It’s something that shouldn’t exist, but if you do enough drugs, you invite it into your life. It’s where
Satan is. It’s where
Hell recruits its people from. I recommend you stay away from it unless you want to
burn forever, which is what the “people” you can see and others can’t really want to have happen to you.
So, am I a psychopath?
The idea of a psychopath is descended from the pernicious Calvinist doctrine of reprobation, the teaching that some
souls are predestined for
Eternal Damnation and that there is nothing that one can do to change them. This is inaccurate; all souls have
Free Will and are capable of choosing
God, no matter how wounded they are. Theology is still the Queen of the Sciences (no matter how much people deny it or are ignorant of it), and it trumps psychology even when society is blind to this fact. You are not beyond
God's grace.
So what if we go to Hell? I'll just redefine it as something I like.
Hell gives the illusion that we can redefine a great many things and it will change reality, but you can't change the reality of the ground you stand on: quicksand with lava underneath.
A world without religion is a world of freedom isn't it?
Most of the 1.3 billion Catholics freely choose to believe their religion, and you should use your
Free Will to make the right choice too.
If Satan gives knowledge, and Jesus Christ gives salvation, what does one do when knowledge makes salvation seem impossible?
Understand that the knowledge falls apart on analysis, while phenomena (like miracles) don't.
I've said blasphemies that are so extremely profane, and committed extreme sins. Why would God want me in Heaven?
Because despite committing these sins, only one sin can truly damn a soul, and that is to refuse his forgiveness unto death, which is the Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. You can confess your sins, and he will welcome you instantly, grateful to have you.
What was wrong with Schopenhauer's views on suffering?
He believed that suffering was irrational, that life was purposeless, and thus it makes sense that he thought life should be escaped by some sort of annihilation--which is an attempt at spiritual suicide that is impossible to complete. However, suffering with purpose is rational and should not turned down if it is for good. It is also the only honest way to live in this world.
So, where else do you think we went wrong?
By attempting to self-deify, you dig your own grave with every seemingly rational thought.
Do you have any idea how stupid you sound?
Yes, but it is better to go to
Heaven sounding stupid than to go to
Hell through one's wit. These philosophers--
Satan pretended to love them as they deceived humanity into believing the world was rational, and he played along with them (probably inspiring them), without caring one wit about them. He knew the world wasn't completely rational, and he knew that to build a rational world devoid of spirit had at least in theory the potential to spiritually starve and destroy humanity, so he enshrined atheism in many intellectual circles.
How about we just execute you?
First, you need power. Second, you need to know who I am. If you can do these two things, I'll be impressed. To death, that is. But for me,
to live is Christ, and to die is to gain.
…and remember, executions only start happening when Hell runs out of imagination.
