Does Thelema believe in evil?

The Hymn of One: Religion or merely recruiting for the Order? Discuss her "religion".

Does Thelema believe in evil?

Post by Lost »

I know that there are several religions that do not, I was wondering if Thelema is one of them.

(I hope this question is not insulting)

Thelma is not really a unified system of belief.

I dont know much about Thelema, but I'd have to say "no." Thelema is based on the principle of "do what thou wilt." Which essentially means that there is no good or bad behavior. There is only cause and reaction.

Thelema is probably THE most logical of the group. It seems that Freddie and Daphne are a little more inclined to believe in Evil, but they also are so attractive that they are not complete buffoons. Shaggy and Scooby, on the other hand, are both ugly, and therefore also very ignorant and superstitious. They are the ones who believe strongly in Evil, and are always fooled by movie projector images of "ghosts" or caretakers dressed as monsters who are always chasing them into and out of kitchens where they find all the ingredients for sandwiches.

So it's odd that anyone would consider Thelema the one who believes in evil, when it's really the rest of the gang who gets sidetracked by the superstitions.
