The 10 Forgotten Housewives of the Gods and Prophets

Last updated on: June 30, 2023 at 2:44 pm By Jared Woods

0 Comments

Behind every great male deity is a woman fed up with his god complex. Sad but true, so many religions were sharpened into patriarchal weapons, using carefully selected scriptures to devalue the position of women in society. This oppression worked well for thousands of years, but in modern decades, the female army has taken a stand, demanding equality in all areas, rising to the top, on their way to destroy every man and ultimately conquer the planet. To honour the... Read more

Occult Book Review: The Kybalion (Hermeticism)

Last updated on: June 25, 2023 at 8:22 pm By Jared Woods

0 Comments

The Kybalion: A Study of the Hermetic Philosophy of Ancient Egypt and Greece. To label The Kybalion as a Hermetic piece is inaccurate or even blasphemous, depending on how deep your worship goes. Attributed to the “Three Initiates,” this anonymous authorship appears as a mere sly push into mysterious esoterics for effect. However, the general agreement is that William Walker Atkinson was the mind behind these texts. William Atkinson was an American pioneer of the New Thought movement, penning around... Read more

Does Christianity Really Believe in One True God? (Spoiler: It Doesn’t)

Last updated on: June 23, 2023 at 12:25 am By Jared Woods

0 Comments

No matter which Christian link you click, someone will have defined it as a monotheistic faith. What this means is that the world’s most popular religion believes in One All-Supreme Being who reigns over everything else. This standpoint applies to each notch on the Abrahamic belt, be it Judaism, Islam, Rastafari, Baháʼí Faith, or any of the other numerous off-shoots. However, when investigating the depths of the Biblical doctrine, is it as clear-cut as we make it out to be?... Read more

The 10 Most Disturbing Creation Stories Across Mythologies

WARNING: The following stories are not for the faint-hearted. Quite the contrary, as this article refuses to play it safe. There are no magical fairy tales here. Our existence is not a result of God’s heavenly love or the beautiful union of angelic figures. Instead, we venture down darker paths into unnerving adventures featuring a cast of weirdo monsters, brutal death scenes, and an unhealthy obsession with bodily fluids. Seriously, there are a lot of bodily fluids in this piece,... Read more

Is the Bible a Comedy?

Last updated on: June 7, 2023 at 6:55 pm By Jared Woods

0 Comments

When proposing that the Holy Bible may be a comedy book, you could expect two types of reactions. The first are those nonbelievers who will respond with a disrespectful “yes, the whole thing is a joke, hahaha”, as if that’s funny. The second are those rigid Christians who will dismiss the very question as offensive. However, a fringe group of us are eager to appreciate the Bible for the entirety of its offerings, and that includes humour. In truth, it... Read more

10 Gods to Blame for Everything That’s Wrong in Your Life

Last updated on: June 7, 2023 at 3:42 pm By Jared Woods

0 Comments

In the good old ancient times, gods were the holy orchestrators of literally everything in the world. Good or bad, we accredited the entirety of circumstance to these heavenly beings and were expected to provide them with praise or beg for mercy accordingly. During our modern era, many people consider these practices outdated and prefer to accuse their horoscopes or Mercury retrograde for any shortcomings. But if you are inclined to criticise metaphysical deities for your life coming undone, feel... Read more

When Did Kanye West Become A Christian? Is He Still?

Kanye West’s rollercoaster journey with Christianity has been problematic for the religious and non-religious alike. We are bombarded with contradictory opinions and defences, often from Kanye himself. But by analysing the steps of his career, we can effortlessly uncover his simplistic tale as nothing we haven’t seen before. Early Achievements Kanye’s father, Ray West, was a Christian counsellor. This role was presumably a primary influence on Kanye’s future devotional footsteps. And from a very young age, it did appear as... Read more

5 Fascinating Facts About Scientology

Last updated on: May 26, 2023 at 3:42 pm By Jared Woods

There is no religion more controversial and misunderstood than Scientology. Everyone has an opinion, even when so few are able to relay accurate information besides the standard stock responses. Consequently, it can be challenging to locate factual data on the subject. Scientologists have an annoying tendency to exaggerate their accomplishments, while antagonists automatically tear up everything the religion claims without further evaluation. To gently investigate this fiercely debated theology, here are five generally unknown facts about Scientology. With a bit... Read more
