i too have read extensively about plenty of these subjects.  > no wait just believe me that it's real it sucks you've been led so far astray. all you can do is double down, not capable of applying the level of effort needed to involve yourself in these conversations. you've unfortunately resorted to whataboutisms in an effort to avoid actually having a discussion. this is expected. > fags exploiting boys sounds pretty catholic to me. > satanic the idea is they use this to throw people off the trail, just like "jew". they're both ideas or words meant to throw people off their trail. see, the satanic panic occurred in spite of many colonists being pretty obsessed with things like astrology. loads of them weren't fond of the jesuits, but they happily followed them over to the colonies anyway. many of the founding fathers weren't happy about their infiltration and constant corruption and spoke about it publicly and now historical documents anyone can go and look up and read for free online themselves. when it became a bigger issue that the unruly colonists just wouldn't quit having hobbies that didn't align with the church's view (astrology is bad because the lowly proles shouldn't be able to read the stars), they started accusing them of being witches. they drowned loads of people for this and set plenty more on fire. it's more killing "pagans" (people that didn't submit to the church), just like the jesuits/catholics/romans have always been known for. they issue the propaganda in an effort to justify silencing opposition. it's exactly what "satanism" was invented for. spiritual systems need to maintain the coherence of the role of the "adversary" and the psychopomp. disrupting that, not servicing that role, means it's not a coherent system. this is a glaring fault with exoteric christianity. the catholic propaganda undermines a more sophisticated, refined understanding of these subjects to the extent they can avail us as practitioners or adherents.
