    We are not an elder wisdom culture. We are a commodified human disaster.

    "there is no larger good than your own good and your own happiness".... thats satanism son... or as alister crowley defined it... "the worship of ones self"... its is the biblical beast system.... beast just means animal..... its animal behavior and most often predatory.... instead of "do unto others as youd have them do unto you" you get "do unto others before they do unto you".... satan promises whatever you have in life you shall also have in hell but thats just for the ppl who know he is real.... he is also the father of lies and never keeps his word... and yet.... here we are.... getting his eternal prison ready for him.... thats right... satan gets the earth and humanity ends eventualy.... god takes his ppl and leaves i guess.... off to create something new maybe... personaly from the sounds of it earth is gonna be alot like mars which does lend some wonder to mars itself
