The Downfall of Christianity

There's amazing history in the making. We are at a crossroads in American history. As the world is a diversified culture, it embraced and supported Barak Obama, as the 44th President of the United States of America, the world's most powerful country to date (yet I'm not so sure how long that will remain).

Obama was celebrated because he represented a breath of fresh air over the Catholic driven religious right that was the Bush Administration and seemed more reasonable in the issues that truly represent the 21st Century. Obama brings us modern thinking and a true representation of the separation of Church vs. State. He's removed religious symbols from the White House, supported issues the Catholic Church does not, like Stem Cell research and abortion . He truly is a vanguard for the modern thinker.

He also, truly is a messenger of change. Change that means that the rest of the world will finally be respected. Over-bloated Christian beliefs that stifle America's founding beliefs will finally be curtailed. No longer does one feel the Bush oppression. But this is not a political statement. It's a humanist statement. In fact the best and truest statement ever said by Obama himself was "We are not a nation of Christians". Technically, as a nation, America, standing for the land of freedom also basically supported prejudiced thought processes. The "American Way" seemed to mostly mean that you could be a proud American as long as you pray to the same Christian god. This is bad. This was bigotry against Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Wiccans, Agnostics, Atheists, Satanists and more. This coming from a country that supported the freedom of religion.

We are now at possibly the best time in our lives. Without that oppression of the prior Administration , what we get in return is true freedom of choice. The choice to explore other faiths for starters. The freedoms to practice our varying faiths that make America great. The choice to look at the world through it's multicultural eyes. This site gets more hits from Europe than it does Americans. That's sad how blinded we've become.

Surveys show the reasons the Catholic Church loses members:

I'm going to quote the Norwich Bulletin:

"Many people who leave the Catholic Church do so for religious reasons; two-thirds of former Catholics who have become unaffiliated say they left the Catholic faith because they stopped believing in its teachings, as do half of former Catholics who are now Protestant.

Fewer than 3-in-10 former Catholics, however, say the clergy sexual abuse scandal factored into their decision to leave Catholicism."

This is a new era. An truly Epical era. Our views can now flourish and grow and we no longer have to feel dirty about our thoughts and beliefs. These are the decades to come where one can be proud to live as an Epicalist. Now is the time to becomes vanguards and herald our way into this 21st Century.

Congratulations Epicans. You are free at last... Free at last... Thank Obama, you're free at last.

The hypocrisy of the reborn.

Ah...Christian Hypocricy.

Why is it, the worst Christians are the born again types? Worse than ex-smokers, they preach like they're life experts who've solved the worlds crisis with a blank form known as "salvation". I know of a banking process called a "suspension". In a check reconciliation department, it's an area of a bank where they add up and process checks, comparing them to a ledger that reports these inbound documents . Now some checks get lost or damaged that the magnetic codes are mangled or have the wrong amounts on them and must be sought after and found and corrected. Now to keep the worlds of commerce moving, sometimes they throw in a dummy ticket to represent the check until the investigation is complete and that dummy check is called a "suspense ticket". This doesn't mean they found the money... It just means they put in a dummy to take it's place.

This is how these Christians explain their "happiness in the Lord". Suddenly they find great happiness in blind faith. They'll say "I was once just like you." Here's a hint. Most cults start with that sentence. They begin to tell you how you and they are the same and how you can find salvation as they did. However, they give you "suspense tickets" as to what the salvation is and how they got it. They say they found it in the Lord. Did he drop it out of the sky in a United Nations Air Drop? They say they found it in the bible. Where is the proof, in that old book of hear-say, that anything factual actually went on? What's funny is that I came from where these people have just arrived. I was once "god fearing" and all that before I became endarkened. I started young as my parents wished. I went to the churches, I read the "good" book, sang the songs, prayed the prayers and I had "the faith". The prayers were never answered, the songs brought empty joy, the book had too many holes in it's tales.

Another classic Christian hypocrite is the one who "believes in God", yet will do anything else to get the job done. Hypocrisy runs rampant with them too. I know a woman who runs screaming when the thought of the occult comes up, yet when she wants the love of a man and her god won't give it to her, she ask me to "cast a love spell" for her. When she felt she was given cursed items, she asked me to cleanse them. I told her how to do it herself, but not without asking why her god didn't do it for her? Why didn't she just go to the church and tell her priest or have him bless them? Not that that would necessarily lift said curse, but the point is, she never even considered it and yet she claims to walk as a servant of her god. All the while she conducts fetish acts, sleeps with various men, keeps unscrupulous company...yet can not be turned from her god. Her devotion to this god is wonderful. If I could I would give her a million dollars the day she actually contacted said "god" and he actually does something I can see.

I find Christian ministers and priests amusing. On the one hand, they denounce the forces of nature and the mystic arts be they black white or gray, and yet in their own right, they act as magicians themselves. Technically, Catholic priests act very close in practice to occult priests. They use imagery with a wafer and wine to represent what would be termed an act of voodoo cannibalism, they wear black clothes by day, chant and ask for things in prayer in almost a spellcasting fashion...and yet they attack others for doing the same. They do this because others are doing it to any god but theirs. It's like politics. They all not only support their candidate, they want to brainwash you to do it too!

I notice mostly the way they, the Christians and other "god fearing" religious groups, beat you into a submissive state. You are not allowed to be a Master or Mistress. You are a sheep in a flock. You blindly follow with the unproven reward after death. You allegedly have "free will" but must give it up to serve their great god who allegedly gave it to them in the first place. How many more acts of hypocrisy must be pointed out?

Were ye Epicalist, your will and your choices are your own. You command your destiny. You do whatever you humanly feel comfortable with. You answer to yourself. You are responsible for your own actions and lastly, you get to have fun at it! Remember the credo still stands. It's your script for your movie to write and star in. Live it up a little. For in the here and the now, for the blatant facts of it all; you only get one shot at this life. Don't live for an afterlife that may never be that you truly have no choice on the outcome.

Remember, some think in the afterlife, you get 7 virgins, others say pearly gates, others say you get your own idea of paradise yet there is no definitive answer. Why not stick with what's tangible and proven which is this moment, this lifetime.

"The DNA is DMA"

After so long and many questions upon the topic I tried long and hard to come up with a fast and easy way to explain the Epical movement and how it can enrich lives.

Many who've tried to explain it, have said empty open ended statements like "It's a new and enriching way of life" or "It's a new philosophy that is both uplifting and fulfilling!" alas, those statements are empty and don't really answer the issue.

The DNA of Epica is the DMA. DMA stands for Dynamic Mental Attitude.
It is NOT the same as a Positive Mental Attitude (PMA). If all it took for an uplifted life was to be positive all the time, then the world would be a whistling Disney tunes all day and giving out flowers and balloons.

Face it, it's a dirty gritty world out there and though it has it's ups and downs, we as a species need a mindset in which we can actually cope with it. By cope, I don't mean happy pills (prescription drugs), I mean having the mental attitude, aptitude and fortitude to go forth throughout the day without a) pretending to see it through rose colored glasses and b) crumbling under the pressure.

What if you could just actually try and enjoy life no matter what it threw at you? Imagine the possibilities?

Remember way back when I first attempted to explain the Epical philosophy? Basically, I was explaining that, as it has been written; " all the worlds a stage and we are mere players in it" and we were here to star in our own theatrical performance. This does not mean "be a Drama Queen". It means simply this: Take the mundane and have fun with it. Change your mindset to as if you always had a movie camera trained on your every movement. Imagine a boom microphone above your head recording what you said for an audience to listen. How would you speak? How would you act? Would you cower in fear or thrust out your chest in pride as if to proclaim yourself a real life thespian?

I'll use this as a preamble as in upcoming posts I will go further in how you can be the role you've always wanted to play... but in real life. Oh and gang? You can play the villain and you don't have to lose to the good guys in this one.

Like Archimedes I say:"EUREKA!"

Many have asked me how to simplify what Epica is when trying to explain it to their friends and spread the word. Well, I've done it. A single sentence will spell it all out and break the ice. Now this post has been made to herald the way and tell you that we're not dead here. You may think the lack of frequent posting means the Church is dead, but it's not. New people come to the site everyday and I would prefer they got to be able to digest what we've discussed so far.

Brace yourself. The answers are on the way.

Either way, there's something big on the horizon. In a few days time, it shall be posted.

Reverse engineering 'God'.

Can you answer this question:

"Who is God?"

I bet you can't. Now I don't mean replying "Hey, everybody knows who GOD is. He's that all powerful guy with the long hair and the white beard that's Jesus' dad!" I don't mean replying that god is Allah, Buddha, Yahweh, Jehovah, Goya, Uranus, Thor, Odin, Satan, Zeus, Coronas, Mattes, Apollo, Aries, Athena, Bast, Belial, Leviathan, Thea or Astaroth, just to name a few.

These names were given by man to give an understandable persona to the forces greater than we believed to exist. A line from the XTC song "Dear God" spelled it out rather poignantly: "Did you make mankind after we made YOU". There is no real proof of these gods or even their names. IN the same instance, technology has not led us to believe differently as to their existence either.

What we DO know scientifically is that there are unseen forces in the universe. What we do know is that first and foremost there are energies abound in the universe and it's dimensions that clearly show themselves however unexplained.

So let us reverse engineer the concept of god. Many of our kind in our time have shown many talents and abilities beyond those of normal men, and yet we consider them heretics or witches or freaks simply because we choose not to understand them. The "norm" was set long ago in the evolution of man and based on events that could probably have been proven through science with today's technology. We now can scientifically fathom the different spectrum of energies from ultra violet, ectoplasm and Electro magnetic. We have created machines to detect such. So let's start with how god was conceived. In a time of a science-less world, anything abnormal or occultist was deemed supernatural and in most cases because of it's rarity, evil. From the belief in Jesus' miracles to the Salem witch trials, man has thought that anything that is not 3 dimensional and tangible was either an act of god or the devil.

Faith was created and fueled by superstition and ritual, based on very little fact and supported by fear. Fear of angering the gods, fear of being against the norm, fear of being unnatural. These fears were culminated for the purpose of mind controlling the masses. The masses who followed like sheep sat and listened to the lawgivers who were in themselves corrupt.

Face it. MAN made god as a control device. God is as much a concept as he/she/it is real. God is a point of view. God is a thought process. God is better left within our hearts as a driving force... A thought... A need... A desire. We control our destiny, but we cannot control fate. We can only shape it and bend it, but never can we, like time, tame fate.

Where does that leave us? Well first, let me tell you where it doesn't leave us. In reverse engineering god, It doesn't leave us under the control of man made religions. It doesn't leave us beholden to societal rule. Nor does it leave us in anarchy. You see, that's the first formula you see when you examine the gods of organized religion. You see them as fear mongering tools. Especially in the Christian sects. If you don't go to church, god will punish you and you're a bad church dweller. Well, considering that a plate goes past your nose to collect "offerings" for which you dump your money, I'm sure that's why it's a sin to them if you don't. Because, you see, if you don't go to church, you can't give them your money. The same can be said for the faith healer believing Evangelical churches. Some have the nerve to charge for "healing holy waters". Were they so magnanimous, they would heal for free. Who paid Jesus to heal? No one. He rode on an ass, not in a large limousine.

These organized religions are some of the most corrupt of all time. They are the biggest hustlers known to man. They are the priests and ministers and reverends that prey on you for your money, so they give you the whole show for the price of admission. One has you singing and dancing or screaming out and another keeps you in line like a good little foot soldier of god. Either way, let's call them what they are..."cults".

Society has no idea how it has been duped. No concept of how it has let itself become sheep. Now the sheep are in control of the world and the populace under it's rule are simply the lambs to the slaughter. This is the result of centuries of bastardized stories from two to three thousand year old text.

My friends... Here we have unraveled our concept of god for just what he is... A concept. Well, if I must have a concept, I want to make MY own god. I want a personal god. I want a god that reflects me and my desires. I want a god that is the same for all, but mine alone. Allow me to tell you about MY gods:

MY gods have no faces. MY gods have no names. MY gods do not follow the doctrines set forth by the predecessors of religious dogma. MY gods fuel my fire. MY gods are my batteries to my inner gifts. MY gods wield the power cosmic. MY gods allow me the sentience of free thought and the free will to do as I instinctively please as long as I do not infringe on the same in others and do not kill my fellow man for sport or gain other than in war to defend what is mine in home, property and country.

MY gods acknowledge my inner gifts and do not hinder nor shun them. They nurture my quest for knowledge, they feel my growth, they allow nature to respond in kind, they allow probabilities to be altered because my gods live within myself as they touch me. MY gods do not believe in idle prayer for they do not wish to be bothered with our menial desires and wants, thus they grant us the abilities to make these things happen for ourselves. They allow us to be satellites of their godhood. They allow us to be as gods on earth in a small way. If it was believed we were made in a gods image, then we should have a fraction of that power we so envy. We are offshoots, fingertips of an un-divine hand or rather, hair follicles of a supreme head. We have been touched by a dark cosmic force. It gives us instinct and our mentality allows us to act upon it within the confines that we do not disturb another's right to do the same.

There you have it. God has been restructured and resurrected in a new image. A personal god.

The Epical spiritual ethos.

Many people ask "where exactly does the epical spiritual ethos lie?" Some may even go so far as to ask if Epicalists are Satanists. Allow me to clarify:

Epicalists or Epicans are "hedonistic humanists". We believe that first and foremost, the answers lie within ourselves. Shakespeare once said: "The fault lies not in our stars, but in ourselves". He could never have been more correct. But not only our faults, but our successes and how we choose to overcome adversity or difficulty.

Epicans are not Satanists under the conventional terms or understandings, nor are they Christians either. They are also neither agnostic nor atheist as they have a belief system in forces of nature and science and the possibilities of beings greater than ourselves.

Epicalists acknowledge that forces beyond our comprehension formed and shaped our existence, yet give no formal names to them. There is no "Heaven" or "Hell". There is no "God" or "Satan". Any god or grouping of such aforementioned would be merely the X factor in an algebraic equation. Whether they are "good" or "bad" is mostly reliant on ones own perception. To say we don't believe in god is not entirely correct nor incorrect. We believe in forces greater than our own and older and possibly than the ones man has attempted to claim and tame the legacies of by giving them names.

In the pursuit of 'god', and Epicalist seeks proof of the metaphysical and even the supernatural. Epicans believe that the bio-electric force that flows through our cerebral cortex is mostly to blame for the gifts we possess, locked within our most powerful tool in the arsenal of the human psyche: the mind. This is different than mere resultless prayer or charlatan faith healing in other religions.

Epicalist belief is that whatever our instincts tell us must be the better answer. Whatever we desire as a human animal should be a reward reaped with no repercussion be they depraved or selfish. Letting our gut reaction be our guide is our credo. In most societies, due to certain acts of selfish hedonism, these actions might be considered dark behavior.
How society classifies Epicalism is not important. It is only dark to them because they are from a different mental structure for which they do not understand freedom as truly being free.

Besides special days on it's own calendar special to the Epican, the Epicalist celebrates the same holidays found on the lunar and pagan/occult calendars. Not for the same beliefs, but for the sheer wealth of ectoplasm and metaphysical energy generated for which to harness.

The Epical lifestyle and you.

"How can I be 'epical' and why would I want to be?" you may ask? Well it's a very good question. Although these writings spell out many things, they may seem confusing to some or a more complicated read than what others are accustomed to.

Let me first sum it up that Epicalism is the ability to live life in an epic way. Similar to the drama of a movie only without the chaos. Your life doesn't have to be the mundane humdrum life it seems to be. You seek out Epicalism when you feel depressed or that you have no hope or are seeking answers where you feel there are none. You do not chase faiths that ask for money yet offer no proof for answers or seek unproven deities for help. You seek to find the solutions within you, and recognize that not only is accepting change the secret to success, but that recognizing opportunity and seizing it is the key to luck.

Let's break down a few key aspects of Epicalism:

1) First and foremost: You are the star of your own life story.

2) You can dispel the negative aspects of life and turn them into a positive. This is not ignoring depressing or hurtful issues, merely a way to suppress them and turn them in your favor so that you may find them easier to deal with emotionally.

3) You believe that you are your own savior and that salvation first comes from within you and not the unproven gods of both past and modern day organized religion.

4) You believe that you can be whatever you imagine yourself to be if you only took the moment to actually envision that person in your mind and live as such. You believe that what you perceive yourself to be is so.

5) You believe that within you lies the power to do whatever you set your mind to or are interested in finding out how to tap into those inner gifts. You in turn believe in the forces of nature, both physical and the metaphysical.

6) Lastly, you believe that your human instincts and humanistic urges were given to you for a reason and that you should feel free to act upon them as long as others are not being hurt in any way that infringes on their rights to do the same. No religion or political agenda should be able to sway or guilt you from that.

In those 6 simplifying statements, you are well on your path to endarkenment.

There's excitement in cinema. The movies make life so dramatic, from it's music to its direction. Shakespeare said "all the worlds a stage and we are merely players in it", so why not play the part as best you can?

To do that, first and Epicalist must play the role they were born to. They must play it as well as they enjoy it. There are no critics of this act and no writers for this script.

Live Epical. Live fabulously. Live FREE.

Mission statement of Project "Epical"

(official press release)

Project Epical is a culmination of the musical and philosophical thoughts, scribings, musings and sonnets of D'Sar, the Darkstar.

The project itself, simply put, is a music style that celebrates sorrow and exudes raw emotion as a release from day to day stress and tension.

Imagine a subculture more diverse and less restrictive, with a higher thought process yet less predjudice and snobbery. Where it is easier to finally belong. Where there are no age restrictions or fashion criteria. Now imagine a music that uplifts, yet has depth. One that can remedy the depression of every day life. Imagine the return of songs of substance, with actual meaning and engrossing tales in it's lyrics designed for the common mans woes. One that celebrates his or her daily trials and tribulations rather than run from them. One that shows that even the worst , most negative aspects of this world can be embraced and rejoiced!

No... This theory is not simply making lemonaid from lemons, but a revolutionary thought process that embraces the evils of the world, rather than shuns it, disempowering the negativity as one would disempower a racial slur or curse word by using it in a changed context.

Epical mores vs. the 10 Commandments

mores.
mo·res ( P ) Pronunciation Key (môrz, -z, mr-)
pl.n.
1.The accepted traditional customs and usages of a particular social group.

2. Moral attitudes.

3. Manners; ways.

"I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

1 Thou shalt have no other gods before me."

I: Gods beyond the reach of mans mind helped set in motion the creation of our life as we know it. Although they will remain mostly unknown and obscure until we come in contact with those that fully know, they were given personas by various churches for the sake of understanding and propaganda.

Thou shalt accept that there are forces beyond our comprehension yet have been factored into the subdivisions of "good" and "evil" or "light" and "dark" forces. The Epical enjoy the unenhampered pleasures of the "dark" force.

2" Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth."

II: Thou shalt not find the vanity of an unfelt, unseen, unproven god and his words appealing, nor shall ye support his folly.

3 "Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments."

III: Thou shalt celebrate ones self as a god amongst men within their right. Though shalt gain esteem by first realizing that their own body is a temple of the mind. The thought of a jealous god should make no sense to you, as those who speak in his name for him would contradict that "jealousy" like "envy" is one of their seven most deadly sins. How hypocritical is it to be condemned for the same sin said god speaks against."

4 " Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain."

IV: God was created by man as a pseudonym for "the unknown" spawned from books of hear say and speculation from the primitive. To take a pseudonym or pronoun in vain is ludicrous. Do not fall for such folly. The Epicalist is more logical than that.

5 " Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work:
But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it."

V: The calendar we follow is man made. Though shalt do whatever one wants on any day within it. The greatest "sabbats" so to speak, are days which commemorate the passing of useful events such as planetary alignments, dates of astronomical and astrological significance. Thou shalt work when it is most advantageous to gain the most for ones family and ones self without fear of punishment.

6 " Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee."

VI: Honor thy parents if they are parents due respect. Merely bringing you to this planet through their loins or spawned from a carnal accident is not grounds for respect. Many parents are simply full of contempt. The rapist father shall not have your respect, nor the father brought to your mother for one night with no further contact nor attempt to be in your life. Nor the mother who abandoned you on a doorstep or left you in a trash can. Nor the mother who defiled her body during your growth within her. Nor the parents of ill repute, ill will or sans honor. The parents that brought you in the world for the purpose of monetary gain and the like should reap your vengeance if you have survived the horrors they're lifestyle wrought you.

7 "Thou shalt not kill."

VII: Killing is a basic animal instinct. It is a way of survival. Thou shalt kill for food and self defense. Only the lives of those who truly do you harm and wrong are useless to you. You should only kill as a last resort and not without the restrictions of the government within which you dwell. To kill another human physically for sport or in the commission of a crime is frowned upon. To kill using means other than the conventional (i.e.: metaphysical*) is permitted without remorse. For if you are learned enough and emotional enough and skilled enough in the dark arts, then you deserve your kill. But only after your mystic actions have been judged by the deities of the Darkforce. Only they can stay they wrath you unleash if your reasons and methods are unwarranted.

8" Thou shalt not commit adultery."

VIII: Thou shalt remember that to be Epical is to be of an elevated sense of being. Thou shalt not be constrained to those of the lesser. You believe in a sense of self gratification and hedonistic values. Within the context that one's Epical values are to try to remain always one step ahead at all times. Sex is a reward and a weapon and not without consequence. Were you to commit adultery, remember that there is no shame in the carnal acts of lust from our animal nature, only the suffering that comes along with emotional weakness. Weigh your options before you do so. Will you lose a friend? An employer? A family member? Who will be more hurt by your actions? If you cannot rise above the animal and remember that you are Epical first and that sex is both tool and reward for the deserving, than you should embrace what wrath you've sown in shame and can shed no tears for your own foolery.

9" Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbor's."


IX: Thou shalt not steal from the wise and wary, for to be caught would embarrass you as a fool. We live in a survival of the fittest world. To gain unlawfully in our day and age is stupid. To gain from the stupid is one thing, to gain from the helpless, undefendable or handicapped is frowned upon. To gain from large fat cat business or government** is celebrated for they have stolen from the people more than anyone.

10 "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor."

X: Thou shalt not incriminate others as you would not want to incriminate yourself. Subsequently, under Epical theorems, as your body is a temple, thou shalt not have your body parts held against you even if on the molecular level. Thou shalt not allow this to be out of your control at any time. No one may extract anything from your body you do not willingly throw away. That which leaves your body via natural causes shall not be harvested for any gain of another organization. In the same instance, thou shalt not have thine images taken without consent, for your essence and likeness is a gift for which should be coveted as well. No one should be allowed to photograph or video record your actions save for the purpose of safeguarding our monetary institutions.


* Metaphysical forces would entail non physical forms as in the use of mentalism, telepathy, occult magick, sympathetic magick and the like if this is within your scope of belief and prowess. No physical forms are allowed.

** This would bar blatant acts of white collar or violent crime such as embezzlement or robbery.

The term:"Evil", in the Epical sense.

evil·ly adv.
evil·ness n.


Evil in the Epical/ D'Sarian language.

n.

1) The exhaultation of all thinks dark.

2) The belief in a hedonistic dark society and follow ones heart, instinct and desires without the guidelines of a morally guilty and corrupt "moral society".

adv.
1) To be sinister in a lawful sense.

2) To be what some might call naughty or wicked, yet to be done within reason. Humanistic.

v
1) To sin without guilt, yet responsibly. To understand sin is relative to it's predefinition by paranoid unyielding prudish culture.

The aforementioned will be added to the site disclaimer.

Epical evil is not the vague yet cut and dry idealism most cultures use to vilify. It is the basic fact that our instincts, when used with logic and reason may allow us to blur the line between the "good vs. Evil" game.

Most societies believe that all you do that you may instinctively enjoy is evil. Save from the taking of a life, that's all nonsequiter nonsense. If it does no permanent or immediate irreversible damage to either you or anyone else, then it is not the evil they proclaim it to be. Use common sense. At times, you may find yourself in a lucky position , yet be told that that's "not right". Carpe Diem, I say. Seize the day and the situation for that is the true core to luck.
