    It’s so weird how Crowly’s life reads like an actual biblical story or parable-
    A child of god that went astray, enough to be called the beast of revelations. But even to a man such as that, God would give another chance, sending an “Angel”. And once he took The Lord’s mercy, he was blessed with loyalty, family, and love. For himself, and for God.
    Seriously, it sounds like an actual Bible verse.

      Instruct a child in the way He should go and He will not depart from it when he is older. It was what I felt when knowing what happened to his Father. It was sad, but glad that it didn’t end in prosperity for him, but just as His Father wanted living simply as a family man in his old age. In truth all of it may have come from the simple fact that his father would speak blessings with his own mouth but fill the mouths of others with poison. I’d rather be dead at 12 and faithful to Him that made me then reform, but again He would have healed me. Like he did many others that became missionaries and preachers of that time. Wait for the woman that God chooses for you much sin is in the careless partaking of bodies.

    Yoshitsune is actually based on real person as well, even if ancient historical hero rather than something more recent, his story is quite interesting too, Yoshitsune Minamoto played a crucial role in war between Minamoto and Taira clans he was extremely skilled swordsman and strategist and oftenly considered the only reason why his clan succeeded, he ended up betrayed by his brother and exiled since his brother feared that Yoshitsune can take power for himself, growing even more paranoid of now exiled Yoshitsune he send his troops after him which forced Yoshitsune and his family to commit seppuku, so yeah Yoshitsune is pretty interesting character with tragic backstory and the main reason why he is a demon in the series is because of the two legends about him, first states that he trained under tutelage of tengu and second says he took revenge on his brother from beyond the grave appearing before him as a ghost and causing him to fall from his horse

    • @snailthelostcow63

      And of course his infamous eight boat leap (hassou tobi) as well. Probably the main reason why some believed he truly was trained under a tengu

    • @FFXI_Addict
      @FFXI_Addict Рік тому +8

      ​@@snailthelostcow63the Tengu stories began when he was around 16 years old? If I recall? Before his induction into the Minamoto clan, he was training with monks in various disciplines. It was swordmanship he not only excelled at, but seemed too talented for his age. One version of the story goes that some monks were watching his training and asked each other "did you teach him how to do that?" "No," one replies, "I thought you were teaching him." "No. I thought you were."
      Nobody seems to know who taught him his swordmanship specifically. If we go on a purely scientific route, he had a hard life and such children tend to become ultra-perceptive. It's likely he simply watched and mimicked what he saw, and since he was young with pliable bones, he created his own methods of fighting amalgamated from all the monks he observed.
      But it was easier to ascribe the unknown to deities in that era. In a way, it's a bit sad that children are so looked-down upon that the only way it made sense for people was to say a demon trained him, because nobody could accept a child being better than them.

    Thee story of Richard Ramirez becoming "fascinated" by tales of atrocities being committed by his cousin sounds very similar to the Death Gun story in Sword Art Online, I almost wonder if it was an inspiration. Even the voyeurism angle is present, with the younger brother in the Death Gun duo frequently peeping on the focal character of that story arc, who he has a crush on, and attempts to assault her as well...

    God, I just got flashbacks to that Gaijin Goomba guy I used to watch. This was years ago, and I quit watching him after he started going on hour long rants about how being called a weeb didn't bother him in the slightest, but I recall thinking at the time that he coulda really made a lot of videos on SMT demons that not only woulda been interesting and informative, but even brought some variety and dispelled some of the "'weebness" had the demons been any of the dozens of demons not based on Japanese culture. Watching this video made me think about how interesting that channel coulda been.

    Wow, honestly never dared to look further into this "class" of SMT demons, and in part I now feel like that was the correct choice. Damn you, Mr. 4You
    That said, to reemphasize the point at 5:55 any time the topic of "absolute"/inhuman evil gets brought up, I feel compelled to leave this thought: Despite how horrific they seem, it's important to remember that these weren't "beasts" or "demons", they were, after all, human. We cannot let us distance ourselves (in the sense of "wow, that would never happen to me/anybody I know") from their humanity to the point where we lose the scope of how close each of us is to "going down that road", y'know. A false sense of security can itself be very dangerous. So… y'all just remember, "all it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy" and all that shit ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Too many people blame Satan for bad actions that they made. Real knowledgeable Theistic Satanists don't go killing people. That's Not what Satanism is about!
