Spring came on, the drift from cornfields melted,
And with it away flowed half the young blades;
Summer came, burst forth with hail the shower,
And with the ears were half down beaten;
Autumn came, and frost took the remainder.
Paavo´s wife then tore her hair, and spake thus:
"Paavo, old man, born to evil fortune,
Let us beg, for God hath us forsaken;
Hard is begging, but far worse is starving."

MWA HA HA HA HA...!
THE ROSWELL INCIDENT NEVER HAPPENED
TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS
THE GOVERNMENT IS HIDING NOTHING
THATS WHY I WILL WIN THIS GAME

Wuuuuut.
Thae why w the multiple accounts?

Paavo took the good-wife´s hand and spake thus:
"Nay, the Lord but trieth, not forsaketh,
Mix thou in the bread a half of bark now,
I shall dig out twice as many ditches,
And await then from the Lord the increase.

[ShirokuTheHusky]

Is this bibel?

[Cheza]

Nah, it's an old-ish Finnish story/poem.


Half bark in the bread the good-wife mixed then,
Twice as many ditches dug the old man,
Sold the sheep, and bought some rye, and sowed it.
Spring came on, the drift from cornfields melted,
And with it away flowed half the young blades;
Summer came, burst forth with hail the shower,
And with the ears were half down beaten;
Autumn came, and frost took the remainder.
Paavo´s wife then smote her breast, and spake thus:
"Paavo, old man, born to evil fortune,
Let us perish, God has us forsaken,
Hard is dying, but much worse is living."

Well, Satan is my lord, so I take offense to this.

The story is not about god, it's about the will and struggle to survive in the face of great misfortune.


And besides, wouldn't a true Satanist refer to the lightbringer by his true name?

What we see is what God put on life. But he didn't give us what we wanted. We would criticise who you call Satan for going against him?
Most of us wish to be that which we are not. Furries are reacting to the negitovitry that has been given to those parts. **x is. God made us equal, but we all seek to be unique. Yet because of gods influence, we end up the same. People wish to be different and unique. Furries often wish to be anthropomorphized. But we cannot be what we are not, as god had made the world this way. Lucifer wants us to be different but because he went against your lord, that is what we will never have. We will never be granted Lucifer's wish due to the IMPERFECTIONS of you god. His arrogance, his stupidity, and his unwillingness to forgive all, contrary to what you think you see. We are all uniform. The "lord" wants it. But he has had his way for far to long.

I don't believe in god.

In the end, a deity, no matter which, "helps those who help themselves", like in the story I posted earlier.
Sure, they pray to god in the story, but in the end, it's their own hard work that saves them. Had they just sat around and waited for god to magically make their fields yield large amounts of crops, they'd have starved for sure. Put simple, The moral of that story is "God helps those who helps themselves"


Same things with pretty much all other situations. People can't just sit and blame all their misfortunes on some supernatural beings that may or may not actually exist and hate on each other for believing different things. There is no magical being that's miraculously going to cure all diseases, end all wars, end all starvations and droughts and other thigns like that. It's all up to us humans. Religion can be a good moral support and guidance for those who want to believe or who feels like that's right, but it should not be seen as some sort of absolute truth. In order for change to happen, people need to get up and do something. Be it research for how to make humans more like anthros or work to end starvation in poor countries. Because none of those thigns are miraculously going to change overnight.
Science beats religion any day, but there's still no reason to be disrespectful towards people who do believe.

[ShirokuTheHusky]

Well, I agree with every part of that, except for the part about "people can't sit and blame all their misfortunes on a deity..."
Cause people do.
They say "put it in gods hands" to EVERYTHING.
And I am not religious, but I have deep philosophical beliefs and advanced yet vague  understandings of science.

People -do- that, but they -shouldn't-.


Ofc they -can- do that if they really want to, but then they shouldn't complain when nothing changes.

Some chick at my old school asked me out. I said no. And she wouldn't stop crushing on me. I moved, but she found me on Google Hangouts, and pestered me there. Now I'm hearing that she is spreading rumors that we are dating and we smashed, and she is contacting me using other people's Facebook accounts, cause she doesn't have one. She's pretending to be the person who she is using their account, and saying that she is saying she is gonna hurt my girl.
And from what I heard, she would not shut up about me after I moved, and now she can't stop talking about my girlfriend.
