I would never dabble in such things! There's a reason the bible condemns messing with demonic stuff like this, because it can attract evil into your life

this kind of thing makes my butthole squeaky
But I heard pagans and occultists say that the Christian church and Bible condemns this kind of stuff is because the occult empowers you but the elite want themselves to have all the power, both physical and supernatural power. So they condition the masses to fear the occult, so they can have all the occult power to themselves. So they spread false fear. The Bible is a control system, it's truth mixed with lies. Don't forget that. So you gotta take it with a grain of salt. It's not perfect, it's been edited and changed countless times in the last 2000 years. To claim that God prevented it from being changed is baseless and circular reasoning and presumptuous. God isn't that predictable or righteous.
Well of course pagans would say that

they have been deceived by Satan and condone satanic practice. How is the Bible a system of control? In what way does it control anybody? Picking up a Bible and trying to make a connection with God is completely optional.
Who has changed the Bible? And to what end? The biblical scripture are directly translated from the Dead Sea Scrolls. Are you suggesting that scholars and historians changed the word of God to serve some nefarious purpose?
Don't get me wrong, there is a lot of evil and greed in this world. A lot of good movements and ideas become co-opted by corporations for the purpose of making profit. I don't have doubts that certain religious institutions use the Bible and people's faith in the same way.
This is why we need God to help guide us through the darkness and deception of the modern world.

Come on. Where have you been? There are countless videos and websites covering why Christianity is a control system. Even truthers mention it. It's unanimously agreed upon. The Bible does not tolerate disagreement and says you are wrong if you don't agree with it. It's all or nothing. No middle ground. That's extreme for sure. Everyone knows this. It also shames you and guilt trips you using manipulation tactics. The God of the Old Testament is also like a cult leader. He makes you feel special and tells you that you are chosen, then he abuses you and debases you, just like all cult leaders do.
Countless people have changed the Bible. From Paul to Constantine to the Council of Nicea to King James to Francis Bacon, etc. It's been in the hands of kings and emperors. Do you think they aren't gonna change the Bible for their benefit? Get real.
One of the top Bible scholars, Dr. Bart Ehrman, has written many books about how the Bible was changed many times, which is easily proven. Only Christians try to deny it. Objective scholars can easily see this.
In fact, Christmas and the Christian religion is a celebration of child sacrifice and of sacrificing your inner divine child within. Like all scams, it tries to give you something good or a free gift in the beginning, then leads you astray down a false path. Below the Gnostic scholar John Lamb Lash explains it.
Bottom line: Christianity has way too many problems and contradictions and illogical fallacies to be literally true. At best it's metaphorically true. Moreover it's not the word of God. God didn't write it. People did. If God wanted to write a book, he'd write it himself. Duh. Think about it. He wouldn't need to ask others to write it for him. Think about it. If the Creator is smart enough to code something as complex as human DNA, then surely he's smart enough to write a book himself without asking others to do so. Think about it. These things are obvious.
This is just one of hundreds of problems with Christianity. I will tag you in another thread to see if you can answer my questions in it, because the other Christians all ran away in fear and were stumped.
