So, I know it's all fake, and I will admit I am hooked, but I was thinking. Before I started watching these videos I didn't know who Crowley was (I know I lead a sheltered life) or a whole lot about these sorts of religions. Most of you fan base is young. You should think about the ideas you are putting in their ever so immpressionable minds. This stuff has me sort of freaked out, especially the carrieiswatching stuff, and I am 25 and know it's fake. I know it makes it sooooooooooo much more interesting this way, but these are serious ideas here.

You are coming at this from a very Ethnocentric perspective. Crowley at the very least did not think of himself as evil...Read Moonchild(which I am right now) and you will see this. I assume you are a christian..so.. Doesn't the bible say "Know thy Enemy?" How can you know by sticking your head in the sand.
What's funny is we have Thelemites bitching their religion is gonna be portrayed as the bad guy...and christians are bitching for it being portrayed at all. Grow the Hell up people and LEARN!.. If you are not weak minded..it Can NOT damage you and gives you knowledge to fight it if indeed it was bad. Learning about something is ALWAYS a plus.

Especially considering all of the ethnic traditions that inspired Crowley.

I was just thinking about the line from the bible about"Not suffering a witch to live"
and I thought... with the things Jesus is reputed to have done he would have definitely been considered a witch..
We know how that story ended up.
So...at least THEY are consistent...

Jesus was crucified and killed.

I don't know if the Christian Bible says that, but Sun Tzu did... I know, it's easy to get the Bible and Art of War confused with all the violence and all...

But according to the Christian Coalition, Sun Tzu was a good Christian.

I knew someone would correct me....it's those THY's that got me.....
I wasn't sure..but took a stab...notice all the violence in the way I talk?
but that right there makes a point about ignorance...
My ignorance would not have been able to be expelled if I had not just exposed myself to others and their Ideas..
I know most christian priests and pastors are pretty heavily trained in comparative religions. How can you witness to someone about your faith if you are ignorant about what another truly has to say. Sure against the basic believer with very little knowledge you can get by..but against an "opponent" that knows your religion and their own..you will look like an uneducated cur and what kind of witness would that make.

Hey, you guys are part of the "show" Isn't this something along the line when "Bree" said somthing like, her religion is personal and it's not understood by Daniel and maybe even other people. Because it is DIFFERENT. Get it?? This is a common issue? Commenting on who's religion is right.
What two things should people avoid having conversations about?? Religion and Politcs. Why?

I have read before, but don't take this as my final word because I haven't studied crowly latly, but that he was a very unmoral person. Maybe I'm thinking of someone else?
I really need to look him up again.
Yeah, just saying.
