Greetings,

Facts … something that can be shown to be true. A profound difference between fundamentalist religions and the occult is that occultists may or may not believe in their gods, or may temporarily believe in their gods. Most of them act within a free belief system, if it works, then it’s real.

Back to facts, fundamentalist religions cannot prove their gods as truthfully existing as described. The history of fundamentalist religions (Islam & Christianity) does not measurably go back further than some 500 BC [relevant to Islam as it is based on the Bible, accepting Abraham]. Hence, David, the Temple, Noah, Moses etc cannot be proved to have existed. Please refer to this website:

You mentioned belief, your belief …it can mean many things, but relevant to my comment, relevant to religion, belief requires faith. Faith does not require proof, that’s why its faith. I am a serious occultist having chosen demonology as my key path. I have been possessed by demons, many of them over a decade or so. Do I believe in them, I don’t know … belief in them is irrelevant because I cannot prove it, but it works!

To the best of my knowledge, no. For most if not all religions, the best evidence given is experiential, which is can not be counted as true evidence - people interpet reality by what they believe can turn any rush of hormones into a religious experience. Not only that, but for thousands of years shamen, witch doctors, and others have used slight of hand and showmanship to convince their followers of mystical powers.

That's because the stuff in wicca and necronomicon aren't legit:

Anyone who can do occult magic(k) like astral projecting and stuff would go to James Randi and collect the $1,000,000 reward.

Spiritualism uses mediumship as a means of confirming the continuity of life into spirit realms. Mediumship is based upon energies. And the use of energies to contact loved ones aids this process of information gathering.

Faith doesn't need facts. That's why it is Faith.

I look at facts. But again, there are no facts that tell me for sure that there is not something I don't see. "I can't see the wind, but I can feel it." I feel my Gods and Goddesses. That's all I need personally.

Sorry its not a better answer for you.

It's all an act of faith. Believe or disbelieve. Your choice.

Believers of anything other than atheism are just barely smarter than mental retards... just barely.
