Alighieri Dante and the 'Commedia Divina' might be a guiding principle, but not the path!
i dont think its necessary to have a certain belief, a certain way of life or a certain sexual view or lifestyle to be that what ppl call 'having yer heart at the right place'!
fanatism, nm if religious or anyth else, is never the right path
i have his 'divine comedy' and i did read it
for me i consider it in 2 ways:its excellent poetic and numeric!
artwork and an interesting(but questionable) spiritual pov!
(i d/k what the hell for drugs this guy took during those 15 years of creating his 'bullshit', but 'may i know it'??)
i wld never allow any church or any1 else to decide on my dogma or pov!
so, how shld you answer if youre been asked:
(heres my answers!)
Do you have any pagan religious beliefs?
-whats a pagan belief?
Religion is fiction.-correct!
Some people just deserve to die.-i agree! child-rapists:id kill them with my own hands, and gruesome!
Have you ever attempted suicide?-dont ask me IF, ask me hoe often!
Do you enjoy violent movies and video games?-wld i know all this beautiful ppl here, if NOT?
Have you had sex or do you plan to have sex before marriage?-OOH YESS!/b4, during and after marriage!
Do you intentionally cause harm to yourself?-well, b4 OTHERS do..!
Do you look at pornography?-do you not?
Are you good at telling lies?-well, i d/k how the hell U GOT yer job!
Are you often very depressed?-show me 1 whos not!! only 1!
Have you been in any physical fights in recent years?-it depends on the pov, id say
Do you believe in God?-oh, not only in god!
Have you suffered suicidal thoughts?-have i?
maybe i STILL do..?
as u can c, i SCORED at least with 3 main pts:
-religious freedom
-the thing about lust
-and rebellion!
and i tell u what:if dante says i may burn in hell cuz i love, cldnt even kill a fly, hit any1 or cuz id share my bread with a homeless on the street, help and suppurt ppl anyway---only for the reasons u c above,
so i guess, then the flames m8 be the better place for me,
i always prefered to share my time with the more interesting, intelligents..and FREE!
intelligent beings(as we humans shld be)are responsible for everything they do, no dogma; no one else shld be allowed to force us to anything!
i dont believe in 'bought'absolution , cuz everything we do counts!
but i do believe in love and reason..
Think for yourself
Question authority!
