Em's "Bezerk" makes me reflect into how Em's music has effected my life

I see. I agree with you that their beliefs no matter if right or wrong, are enough to make the threat real. But I would've thought, that the mental condition those people are in, was more an indicator for not taking their belief system seriously.
I'd go one step further and say that these people are so opportunist anyway, that most of them might as well practice that bullshit without believing in it.

Their religious beliefs make them opportunist. "do as thou wilt" = do whatever you please regardless of ramifications to others. Their beliefs tell them that they are the rulers of this realm and they are justified to do anything they want, and it is their duty to lie, cheat, and steal at every opportunity to maintain that power.

That thread is very interesting, I started to get a little into buddhism as of late. I know that for some people you will sound like someone who is disturbed and fucked in the head, but I understand where you are coming from. We are influenced by everything we hear and see. If you are influenced by Eminem and what he says, how he raps, his music, you are influenced by what influenced him, and so on. Eveything in this world is connected. It makes me laugh a little bit when I hear about Satan, not because I'm 100% it doesn't exist. Everyone that take Satan seriously is influenced by that school of tought, and will start to put things in their head to make their theories real. Because in your mind, you can construct anything on the spiritual side of things. Some people don't even want to see that and think about that, because it is scary as fuck.
I will give you an advice, try to be ''balanced''. Everything about this world is about balance. Try to achieve that, and you will see that you are way more in control of your life than you think. Try to destroy your ego, because ego is a construction of your mind. You are nothing, when you have an emotion, that emotion isn't even real. The only thing that is real, is the god-gift of having that emotion. When you start being angry, or sad, try to see those emotions as clouds in the sky that are in the way of the sun of your pure concsiousness. It is hard to do that in our capitalist world because almost everything is based in individuality. But such a thing doesn't even exist, we are simply a part of the big demonstration that everything is related to everything, we are only a part of it. No matter what we do, our actions will simply prove that
