>Firstly, where can I read more about the story of Prometheus?
Two sources in particular. 1: The Greeks. 2: Google.
>To them, this promise is an assurance that the light will be stifled - hence their obsession and rituals which drain the energy from us.
I realize so many of these asshats claim to worship lucifer. I honestly think they either have no idea what they are talking about. OR they are actually trying to 'play the part of the bad guy', which in a meta-sense, we need to overcome.
This.
From a strictly biblical sense - nothing makes sense. Then realize how much power the bible has over people and understand how advantageous it would be for evil people to manipulate it.
>Not only that, but WTF do we intend to say as we stand at the pearly gates?
That you did the best with what you had available to you.
You asked questions with no ill intent towards anyone.
While i applaud the effort, the name Lucifer means bringer of light, aka Venus - the star that heralds the coming of the sun. Morning Star.
It could. I havn't read that much in that direction.
What I have read is the Nag Hammadi, where the closest relation would be a dude (thing/entity) called Sabaoth, who follows the exact same path as Prometheus/Lucifer/Jesus.
Oddly enough, he is physically described in the same way that Ezekiel describes the Lord of Hosts - even flying around in the same chariot.
I Appreciate it, faggot.
I think it would make more sense if our boys were psyching themselves up with it.
Because it's not occult music.
no
>God's wrath
I understand your position, but cannot agree.
I get that you and I have differing views of faith.
But my god is not a wrathful god.
Symbols only have power when you give them power.
If you see it as three lines and some squiggles in the center, then that's all it is. Good people can use symbols as well, even the symbols that so many think are evil.
It's tough to get through to some people.
Hell, 100 years ago, the whole concept of germs would be considered occult knowledge.
What's your point?
>Why would anyone start a band and have the members be alter-egos?
>That doesn't make sense for an artist. You want the recognition for your creative intellect.
I'm an artist and it doesn't bother me one bit. In fact, I write under a pen name specifically because i don't care about the recognition.
>Not being reactionary when seeing a symbol that's used by the nefarious. Symbols, such as these letters you're reading, are neutral.
I'm not seeing any nefarious effects of that symbol, therefore it is neutral to me.
