A Case for Dueling

 A Case for Dueling 

By Claudia Berdella

I am of the opinion that duels should be brought back. Dueling presents a simple, yet swift and effective method of Lex Talionis, in which both (or more) parties of a given situation can work out a dispute. 


To have a duel, the involved parties would need tot get into a contract, laying out the details and set up of the duel; location, weapons (or lack thereof) used, time, and such things. Of course, the duel would have certain limitations pertaining to things like weaponry used, atomically are clearly off the table as they only insure a never ending standoff, to which if it ever ended uninvolved parties would be negatively affected for years to come. Likewise, location would also be limited in some aspects, obviously there would be no duels allowed to be conducted on any sort of school grounds- no duels would be beneficial at a preschool. Age limitations would also be imposed as it would be impractical to allow second graders to butcher their peers, leave it to abortion and contraceptives to thin out the population; so the minimum age for duels would be 18, with small leeway for 17 years and emancipated. 


Duels wouldn’t be the end all with death, if one yields, the duel is over and they have forfeited their end of whatever the conflict at hand would be and was contractually decided upon. A contract is enacted whenever a duel is planned, it is carefully negotiated and designed by (at least) three lawyers: two lawyers to represent the two people, and one unbiased one to fix and settle any disputes between parties on or with the contract. 


Duels would not be to settle everyday, petty disputes, if an issue like that occurs, there are numerous simple solutions to get through that without murdering each other, and a duel would be counterproductive in the long run. A duel would be a force for self-governance without the need for the involvement of law enforcement. 


  • that is my own rambling on a hypothetical way to instate dueling into the system, none of it is set in stone; it is assumption based on assumption.

Trouble-making, Symbols, Sounds, Experiments

 Trouble-making, Symbols, Sounds, Experiments The stuff I made sure , and I mean very sure that it got into the book The Founding Of The Satanic Temple , was apparently deemed too obscene for selling and distribution which led to it being temporarily taken down . It just makes me realize how insane simple words are , they’re that powerful . I’ve always known that words hold a lot of weight (I am a writer after all ) , but never expected to be part of the reason dealing with such dark and taboo topics (eugenics , prez stuff , pretty much most of the darkest stuff in that book i made sure got in there ) and having it lead to Amazon trying to refuse to sell it over being too “obscene” . But , the fact that some simple words got the same sort of outcry that a swastika in public would receive is insane to me— the only difference is , is that the swastika is a symbol which evokes a multitude of emotional reactions , which on some level can be indescribable with words… although , the Germa

Hebrew, Not Christian

Hebrew, Not Christian (  לִוְיָתָן is  Hebrew for Leviathan) The word Satan in specific means a human adversary humans are fleshy and carnal animals, like any other. naturally, given that and the definition of the word Satan being a human adversary, Satanist would mean one that is adversarial to that which would deny the innate carnal and animalistic instincts humans have So, Satan coming from the Hebrew word for adversary, it’s not any one specific character. Satanism by it’s codification and definition of the word Satan stems from the idea of that adversary. Satanism is adversarial in that it promotes the life enriching things that have traditionally been given the devil’s name by both much of society and religious institutions. Greed, lust, nonconformity, rational self interest, humor, passion for living, atheism, being selective about who to love (or hate), self preservation, lex talionis/silver rule, third sides and uncomfortable alternatives… The Hebrew  SATANIC VERSES: The Adver

The Bottom Feeders Frenzy

  The Bottom-Feeders Frenzy [ 1 ] By Claudia Berdella This was the real secret. Annihilation. Nothing else. A chemical pulse that dissolved finally in violet light. No stories. Now we would always be frightened.   - Joseph Kanon, Los Alamos [ 2 ] As the Apex predator with zero competition or predatory threats to challenge, the human species is as a result a naturally destructive and hostile towards one another. Humans likely would not be able to survive if we stopped preying upon our own [ 3 ] .  Ever-lasting peace is unnatural . Humans are cannibalistic [ 4 ] in almost every sense of the word , however most do not like to even consider entertaining the notion of legitimately consuming another, though an argument can be made that the Catholics are the most prevalent practitioners of this taboo practice through their pseudo-enactment by eating the metaphorical body and blood of Christ at communion (and the Bible is quite pro-cannibalism at the core). People are cannibalistic in a more
