[B] The Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth
Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked.
Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure they want to hear them.
When in another’s lair, show him respect or else do not go there.
If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy.
Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal.
Do not take that which does not belong to you unless it is a burden to the other person and he cries out to be relieved.
Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed it successfully to obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will lose all you have obtained.
Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself.
Do not harm little children.
Do not kill non-human animals unless you are attacked or for your food.
When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him.

Religion is all messed up, for example the similarities between Horus and Jesus are just mind boggling. Plus there are other “christ like” figures that were there before Jesus. @Liberty na @justus kujeni hapa

This is not correct, they seem like commandments directed to the Jews, the following are the commandments found in the Qur’an directed to all mankind. Starting from the greatest going down (though all are important).
1. Join not anything in worship with Allah.
2. Be good and dutiful to your parents.
3. Kill not your children because of poverty.
4. Come not near to Al-Fawahish (shameful sins, illegal sexual intercourse, etc.) whether committed openly or secretly.
5. Kill not anyone whom Allah has forbidden, except for a just cause (according to Islamic law).
6. And come not near to the orphan’s property, except to improve it, until he (or she) attains the age of full strength.
7. Give full measure and full weight with justice.
8. Whenever you give your word (judge between men or give evidence, etc.), say the truth even if a near relative is concerned.
9. And verily, this (the above mentioned commandments) is my Straight Path, so follow it and follow not (other) paths.
The ten commandments are in the old covenant before christ. When christ (founder of chriatianity) was asked about the laws, he gave only one commandment ’ love your neighbour as you love yourself’. But some people don’t even love themselves though:(

…Other version of Jesus. Religions are manmade. What is deep in our conscious is from God. And that is mainly Love. Lack of “proper” education and misguidance blinds us all. The only real thing so far is death…
Religion thrives out of fear of hell. Remove hell and churches close down.

That is why i fear philosophy sometimes, interpreting everything according to another person’s outlook, i have seen people studying and following it and ending up in ruins.
