Stealing My ReligionI just heard this story on the radio. Apparently there is this allegedly "new" religion in Utah, they have been around for like 30 years which for a religion is really quite infantile. And well there is this park which has this monument of the 10 commandments and this so-called new religion wants to have a monument what is known as the 7 Principles, which is the thing they believe in, in the park as well, but the city doesn't want it because they say, that is not really a part of our history and tradition sense it is knew, and there is this whole battle in the supreme court about it.
But that aside, when they were reading these 7 Principles on the radio. It was basically word for word, a total rip off of Hermetics and The Golden Dawn, so basically they are not a new religion at all, they just took an old religion and put a new name on it and try and act like they are the founders of it. And well sense there are probably not a whole lot of people out there that are familiar with Hermetics and the Golden Dawn, who is going to call them on it. They probably figured they could get away with it, if they took some archaic religion that really is not out in the open, and claimed they were a new religion, no one is going to be like. Wait a second why does this sound familiar to me? Oh yeah, because it comes out of a belief system that has been around for 100's of years. At least no one but geeks like me who have studied the occult sense I have been in high school. 9:45 AM - 11/12/2008 - post comment
