Since some people keep pushing the issue.
I'll explain my views on it here, and then everyone else can go to town.
To begin, for many things like health, I tend to agree that prevention is the best cure. However, for things like the law, I think prevention is absolutely retarded. There's no need to "prevent" crimes as if such a thing is even possible. It's a fool's errand, and 100% the wrong way to go about it. This is partially why I butt my head against notions of morality. Morality, ever since the fall of Paganism in this world, has only amounted to waving a warning finger in front of people and saying "don't do that, it's evil and you will lose your soul if you do." Fear tactics as a deterrent. That's ridiculous. Rather than have people live in fear and unable to manifest themselves, the would-be criminals SHOULD manifest themselves as they are with their true nature and commit crimes. Then law ENFORCEMENT should do their damn job and enforce the laws that they get paid to enforce. There's no morality about it. It's against society's rules so the law enforcers hunt down the perpetrators and punish them.
Preventing people from using their free will to commit crimes by use of fear tactics is nothing less than mental slavery, and I disagree with it with every fiber of my being. I'm a Satanist, and I will not live in fear nor will I ever advise others to live in fear. If others overpower me then I'm at their mercy and they are free to subject me to their will, but I will not allow them to mentally enslave me. Those who want to prevent crimes from happening in the first place are simply cowards. The warning is already written in ink with the laws, the laws are the "prevention." When people ignore the warning, you punish them.
You don't live in a safe world. You never did, and no one ever has. Do you know what "morality" was for the ancients? It had a different name. It was called honor. That system was a lot better and actually made sense. Those who acted dishonorably were mocked and shamed. Much, much better system. I'd rather have that than hear Satanists wasting their time harping on and on about "morality" and its absolute importance for all Satanists to conform to it, even though no one knows who would be establishing the rules for this supposed group morality. Anyone who actually finds it worth their time to attempt to impose these rules and morals on everyone here should just get a life if you ask me.
I suppose I've said my piece.
