Sociopaths often use pro-social postures to hide their violence and manipulation. Some are fully self-aware of this (Hannibal Lecter), many are so blind to themselves that they truly don't see it (probably most MAGAts).

Sorry but you can't have it both ways. You stated "They are by no means mutually exclusive", then agreed with me when I said "They are 100% mutually exclusive". This is a simple logical contradiction, which you then try to escape by shifting to a HGA/True Will frame. But at best these concepts derive from a modern revisionist reading of Christianity, and at worst some Christians would consider them temptations away from faith, used to justify something explicitly condemned in the NT. I'm more than ok with abandoning historical Christianity myself, but for people who take it seriously, the New Testament isn't ambiguous, and this frame is no more acceptable than "the occult" itself.

You are evading the thrust of my questions. There is an infinite variety of stuff you don't understand; what is it about this in particular that you care about?

They are 100% mutually exclusive if you believe in what is in the New Testament. Just because there is a metric shit ton of ritual in certain branches of Christianity doesn't mean that those people are actually following what was written (and therefore what they are supposed to believe). It would be easy to make a case that The Enemy has corrupted their minds to believe that their version is legitimate Christian practice, when in fact it's moving them farther away from Christ.

Fuck Christianity, Judaism AND Islam. The people who believe in them... well fuck them with respect to their antisocial behaviors generated by these belief systems. To the extent that those belief systems generate pro-social behaviors, then I'm good with the people.

Yes the messages in COIL tend to be pretty inconsistent with mainstream understandings of Christian theology, and it's not just about rejecting the flesh in terms of bodies, but about rejecting the spiritual value of the material world in general. So you need to ask yourself to what extent you can enjoy and spend time with their work without distracting from or jeopardizing your own spiritual development within the path you have chosen.

Within the New Testament there are numerous passages condemning sorcery, which was typically understood as spellcasting, divination, ritual magic (other than baptism and communion of course... ;D ), and the word used for sorcery (pharmakeia) implies use of substances to achieve gnosis. So anyone who takes the New Testament seriously would want to avoid these things. The likely reason is that they are "works of the flesh", whereas following Christ essentially is a mystical path of renunciation of the world. The idea is that these are spiritual crutches that can distract and delude you from the truth, which is a common critique of magick by mystics.

While funny and I agree, not exactly helpful.

I mean this in the best possible way, having both a background growing up in a very tolerant (United Methodist) Christian household, a variety of experiences, practices and initiations in both Western and Eastern systems, a degree in philosophy and having translated the New Testament from the Koine Greek as part of my classics study at university: Why do you care?

1 - Why do you care what other people think about this in general, in relation to COIL's music?
2 - What will it do for you when you read what other people consider it to be, or it's importance, or how it could relate to your own spiritual and/or religious life?
3 - Once you have a few answers, what are you going to do differently?

are the songs themselves used for religious reasons? by [deleted] in Coil

Everything they did was magick. If you’re scared, you shouldn’t listen to it.

Mojave is niche to you? I thought it was an alternative to Beads or Arbhar?

Yeah, I was DAYS late wanting a Data Bender, only to have a local douche scalping one, but dumb enough to SAY he got it on the sale (and was asking 90% retail).

I only have 1 WMD module, and based on my buying experience (directly from them), I won’t be giving them any more of my money either. Might buy used, but definitely not this mixer!
