A letter from Anerae Brown regarding his religious beliefs...

[HERESY]

However I wonder how much of his distaste for Christianity and his embrace for agnosticism has to do with the fact that by accepting Christ he must also accept that he is a sinner.
Following the Way is a battle within, a battle against man's own ego.
That's a hard pill to swallow for anyone....

And this is why so many people fall away, stray, or outright reject God.

^^^^
Agreed bro....



But how many will admit it?
Yeah, that goes against the human ego as well

^ the human ego which man DIDNT choose, but was born with.

It is crazy to see Raided come from:

"I laid her on her back with them spreaded
I grabbed my razor blade and pussy lips got shredded
She was bleeding like that time of the month
I cut a hole fat enough to stick my fist up in her cunt
Stunt that life span that dope got sliced
Bleeding like a hemophiliac sucking dried ice
I chopped the bitch to bits and bits, yeah
Another victim of the nigga with the sickness"

To this letter. He is an insightful guy though, he has that element which allows people to relate to him, in a similiar way as Pac.

very good observations..the reasons i dont accept the god theory is because its hard to believe that some of the things we love doing so much and that have been natural to us for as long as we have been here on this earth can be considered a "sin" in the eyes of an ever watching presence that we can not see yet created us with such desires...

i would also like to point out....

First of all, I am not a “Satanist” or “Devil Worshiper.” If it were true that I don’t believe in God, it would be impossible to believe in Satan, since the two are undeniably tied together. A “Satanist” is someone who believes in God and Satan and has chosen to take Satan’s side in the debate, just as a follower of God has chosen to take God’s side.

That is not neccisarily true... there is a philosophical form a satanism aka/laveyism

"To the Philosophical Satanist, a person is his own god. He disdains rationalist, secular humanistic beliefs, seeing them as abhoring the existence of the supernatural, only to thereby promote a sterile life grounded in the 'real world' alone and sees them as working towards the altruistic advancement of his fellow man while neglecting due attendance to one's own gratification and fulfillment

i hope he writes his next article on life, i like to see a view that states living ones life is alright. he needs to support jesus christ, if that is praying meditating doing push-ups till his arms explode. a thank you for giving you life would be greatly over do. i wish the foolish would come off his lips and stop being an instigator and be a true subject of God. he would not remain filthy and touch people to be good to one another and speak why humanity is so beautiful. if he was to save one life to bring redemption and let another speak the word of truth, so be it. i believe the only reason brown is upset is because he took someones mother out of the world. he can't understand two wrongs and you're helpless without God. Important things come with believing. To be blessed is to the touch of God upon you. and he talked on the trinity he should look to have the holy spirit stand in your spirit. talk in toungues and say things a true God would say. say things to anyone who sits next to you infront of you people who sit down for you, stand for you, stand up for what you believe in and stop reppin takin sides to ways that shouldn't be yours. get to the eyes of the spirit and revolve the mindsite of the world. forget your fears and you've conquered them. stay to the spirit, get to worship. everyone in the world should be able to hold hands and tell them words of encouragement. think should be stopped and retrained all over to things of heaven. get an instrument and play to the sounds of God.
hold up your flag of prayers to regiment. structure your life around self control and stress free thoughts. get to your brother with the bible and get to his friend who doesn't. strech a hand to him for encourgment so his spirit finds God. :classic:

They abolished slavery in Chattanooga, right?

Who gives a damn about a convicted murderer's religious beliefs. I'm more interested in his date of execution. An eye for an eye, that's biblical isn't it?

 

[Fucky McFuckerson]

Who gives a damn about a convicted murderers religious beliefs. I'm more interested in his date of execution than any of this other shit. An eye for an eye, that's religious isn't it?

No.

WTF??

 

[EDJ]

THAT'S A TRIP HOW RAIDED FLIPPED THRU THE YEARS. BUT AS A REAL MUTHA-FUKA, IT SEEMS LIKE HE'S REALLY THINKIN' IN THERE. IF HE COULD COME TO THE SICCNESS(ESPECIALLY THIS FORUM)HE WOULD SEE THAT WE SEE EYE TO EYE ON ALL THOSE ISSUES HE MENTIONED.

 

[HERESY]

On the real, I don't know the mans heart, but on the surface this article seems to be written by someone who is only thinking because he is now in a bad situation. Is that the case? I don't know, but that is how it seems. Its good to see growth, and I hope he has changed for the better, but a lot of his claims are very inaccurate. For starters, athiesm is not limited to not believing in God. You have people who do not BELIEVE/WORSHIP God (because they are athiest), and you have people who believe God does not EXIST (because they are athiest), and these are two DIFFERENT things (also I'm with Troll on the satanism thing.) As far as the trinity and what not, homie should probably go read some greek or latin text and go back to the Torah once he has.

For starters, athiesm is not limited to not believing in God. You have people who do not BELIEVE/WORSHIP God (because they are athiest), and you have people who believe God does not EXIST (because they are athiest), and these are two DIFFERENT things

Atheism is simply the lack of the belief in a god. Now of course you can define that further into Strong or Weak atheism, but both are essentially the same thing, only difference is one adds the additional claim that deities do not exist.

(also I'm with Troll on the satanism thing.)

I agree with Troll in that there are variations of satanism, but his claim isn't inaccurate, he just only touches on one variation.

 

[HERESY]

Atheism is simply the lack of the belief in a god.

No one said it was not, however what one should consider is how one classifies the lack of belief. If you do not worship a diety that is athiesm. If you do not believe dieties exist this is different from simply not worshipping them.

Now of course you can define that further into Strong or Weak atheism, but both are essentially the same thing, only difference is one adds the additional claim that deities do not exist.

And, in the past I asked you about your beliefs (strong or weak), but I disagree that one adds the additional claim that dieties do not exist. The way I see it is they are two distinct things. BTW, I agree with this guys definitions (http://www.galah.org/myreasons.html)

I agree with Troll in that there are variations of satanism, but his claim isn't inaccurate, he just only touches on one variation.

Yet, I assume you think he is 100% correct about christianity, yet we have HUNDREDS of different forms of "christianity" and some of them actually promote what he is saying....

Did he touch on the many variations of christianity? No? If one is not specific and one is clumping everything together how can you say it is not inaccurate?

 

[EDJ]

^HE IS DAMNIN' THE gENERAL IDEA OF THOSE WHO CLAIM TO BE CHRISTIAN AND BROKE IT DOWN WHY.

 

[HERESY]

^HE IS DAMNIN' THE gENERAL IDEA OF THOSE WHO CLAIM TO BE CHRISTIAN AND BROKE IT DOWN WHY.

So, basically you admit to him making generalizations....

 

[EDJ]

^EVERYBODY THAT UTTERS THE WORD CHRISTIAN IS.

 

[2-0-Sixx]

If you do not worship a diety that is athiesm.

No it is not. Atheism means that you lack the belief in a god. There are people who believe in a diety and do not worship them. These people are not atheists.

And, in the past I asked you about your beliefs (strong or weak), but I disagree that one adds the additional claim that dieties do not exist.

Well that's what it is and most all atheists accept the common definitions of weak and strong atheism.

The way I see it is they are two distinct things. BTW, I agree with this guys definitions (http://www.galah.org/myreasons.html)

Didn't read all of it but the author should should look into agnosticism further:

Agnosticism can be either theistic or atheistic.

Straight from the man who coined the term (Thomas Huxley):

No better to explain this word then the man who coined the term, Thomas Huxley (1869). When Huxley was looking for a way to describe his thoughts, he selected the early religious sect known as "Gnostics" as a prime example of men who claim knowledge of the supernatural without justification and he distinguished himself as an "agnostic" by stipulating that the supernatural, even if it exists, lies beyond the scope of human knowledge. We cannot say if it does or does not exist, so we must suspend judgment.
Agnosticism signifies the impossibility of knowledge in a given area. An agnostic is a person who believes that something is inherently unknowable by the human mind.

The term "agnostic" does not, in itself, indicate whether or not one believes in a god. Agnosticism can be either theistic or atheistic.

The agnostic theist believes in the existence of god, BUT maintains that the nature of god is unkowable.

The agnostic atheist maintains that any supernatural realm is inherently unknowable by the human mind and the existence of any supernatural being is unknowable as well.​

Yet, I assume you think he is 100% correct about christianity, yet we have HUNDREDS of different forms of "christianity" and some of them actually promote what he is saying....

Did he touch on the many variations of christianity? No? If one is not specific and one is clumping everything together how can you say it is not inaccurate?

Because inaccurate means to be incorrect or false, which is what you said. It's a moot point anyways since we all agree there are more than one varation of satanism.

 

[HERESY]

No it is not. Atheism means that you lack the belief in a god.

This is PART of the definition (or one definition), and I agree that it does mean that which is why I said, "You have people who do not BELIEVE/WORSHIP God (because they are athiest), and you have people who believe God does not EXIST (because they are athiest)." If you have no BELIEF IN a god OR you believe God does not exist (due to lack of evidence etc) you are an athiest.

There are people who believe in a diety and do not worship them.

Name one. A buddhist may believe that Buddah existed, but how many believe IN buddah? Muslims believe that mohammad existed, but they do not believe IN him. If you believe IN God, you WORSHIP God. If you have NO belief IN God you do not WORSHIP God. What you are failing to grasp is I am making a distinction between believing IN a diety and simply believing a diety exists. Take the ancient followers of Ra for example. They believed IN Ra, and while they knew of Isis or Osiris and had a belief of them/believed they existed, they ultimately believed in Ra which is who they worshipped or who they were devoted to.

I believe mohammad existed. Do I believe IN him? No.

Well that's what it is and most all atheists accept the common definitions of weak and strong atheism

Again, you have two things here. A lack of belief IN a diety OR a belief that dieties do NOT exist.

Didn't read all of it but the author should should look into agnosticism further:

You should:

Atheism, therefore, is the absence of theistic belief. One who does not believe in the existence of a god or supernatural being is properly designated as an atheist." Atheism is sometimes defined as 'the belief that there is no God of any kind,' or the claim that a god cannot exist. While these are categories of atheism, they do not exhaust the meaning of atheism--and are somewhat misleading with respect to the basic nature of atheism.

Atheism, in its basic form, is not a belief: it is the absence of belief. An atheist is not primarily a person who *believes* that a god does not exist, rather he does not believe in the existence of a god."

- George Smith, Atheism: The Case Against God (Buffalo, NY: Prometheus Books, 1989), p. 7.

I am referring to athiesm as the LACK OF (which is why I said, "No one said it was not, however what one should consider is how one classifies the lack of belief.)

Because inaccurate means to be incorrect or false, which is what you said.

It is false because he is clumping all of christianity together, and it is incorrect to say "christians worship the trinity" because you have "christians" who do NOT worship the trinity (refer to oneness/unitarinists or pentecostals.) So, with that being said his statement is an inaccurate/false generalization derived from his obvious misunderstanding/lack of knowledge pertaining to the religion.

It's a moot point anyways since we all agree there are more than one varation of satanism.

Yet he was not accurate in his assessment of the christian religion. Whats fair for the goose?

If you have no BELIEF IN a god OR you believe God does not exist (due to lack of evidence etc) you are an athiest.

Comrade, you said "If you do not worship a diety that is athiesm." The only reason I responded was because of this line. This does not necessarilly mean you're atheist. As I said, you can believe in a diety and not worhsip them. Now before we go any further, perhaps we need to define worship.

Quick definition:
1. a.The reverent love and devotion accorded a deity, an idol, or a sacred object.
b.The ceremonies, prayers, or other religious forms by which this love is expressed.
2.Ardent devotion; adoration.

Under these definitions, is your statement still true?

If you believe IN God, you WORSHIP God.

See above. Need further clarification on the meaning of worship.
