I've got an assload of questions about the whole "juggalo" thing.
Apparently its become an inside religion now to go to this "Dark Carnival" which is run by the ringmaster when they die.
Other artists within the Psychopathic Records also contribute to this religion in a lot of their songs.
Its described as "a place where you have all the evil souls that are going to be going to hell" and its got lots of rides and attractions which assist in deciding where they're going.
Then there are these six jokers cards, and when they're separated, it clears the carnival grounds of the wicked and the weak.
The jokers cards are a representation of the ghetto, and the crime that's in them. This carnival ignores the city's cries for help.
The themes of the dark carnival vary depending on the person. They focus on heaven, hell, and whatever sins that person commited, according to chrstianity.
My question is: What? This was made by a guy named bruce who had a dream about it.
A dream about a pothead becoming an inside religion is pretty um...yeah.
Opinions? Thoughts? What do you think will happen when you die?
Sounds like a druggie's dream, and only a dream. Of course someone not in their right mind, or others who think it is wicked may follow the belief of such a dream.
Frankly, My thought on death is that once you die, you're just put in the ground. I find it better to not imagine that there is a greater place to go, seeing that no one can prove that such a place exists. I would go as far as saying some of those people whose spirits are strong enough are able to make a presence on earth. Things are so unknown. Better to live a life than to look forward to a death with a possible heaven or hell.

Well I must say, I agree And welcome to LG.
For the longest time I had the belief people would be reborn as something or someone else. Hence deja-vu or knowing you've been somewhere before that you've never been to.
My thoughts in death, i have 2.
Theory 1. After you die you are reborn into another human being with loss of memory of the past. like your present life.
Theory 2. You are reborn into a animal of some sort.

I used to believe that things are reborn, but in the past few years most beliefs have been dying down a bit. I don't know why but my instincts tell me that this is the only life you get.
I have met children who seem like an old soul though, that or the children are just very mature for their age. xD
By the way, this is no welcome, you know me very well. I've just returned to make more mayhem. :>

Yeah but don't you think, that if a human being reborns into an animal, that animal would be super intelligent or would try to communicate to humans? Just saying

Maybe animals do try to communicate to humans, like througout the noises they make but we just dont understand them
Juggalo or Juggalette (the latter being feminine) is a name given to fans of Insane Clown Posse or any other Psychopathic Records hip hop group. Juggalos have developed their own idioms, sets, slang and characteristics

I know @_@ The only one in Psychopathic records I don't mind is Boondox.
And some of ICP's really old stuff.
We make religions out of everything. Jedi is an accepted religion on the US Census. You have people killing themselves to make the journey to be united with their WoW characters.
Music is far more powerful than some movie or game. It has the power to make you feel and think things, possibly even control you according to some.
ICP is an odd group and as far as I know they just started calling their fans juggalos based on a song and the fans liked and from there it developed into a cult which was bound to happen based on the music and the way they present themselves.
Its not really anything new, I mean you had people literally worshiping Ozzy as the Prince of Darkness and kids offing themselves to "Suicidal Solution" which ironic enough is about the evil of suicide. We also had some kids allegedly kill themselves in response to subliminal messages in Judas Priest songs.
Even the fans forming a religion/cult is response to the band isn't new. Deadheads followed around the Grateful Dead and worshiped them and Parrot Head are just as bad with Jimmy Buffet, though less worship and more excuse to be bums. Hell look at the Metallica(over red hacks) fans, they usually bow and and worship during performances.
I watched a documentary on John Lennon and on a weekly basis people would turn up at his estate and hang around the ground till he spoke with them and then they we're all believed there we meanings in the lyrics and the music and the John had the answers to all the problems in the world or was some holy man. Music has power and we often fail to realize it and just use it as entertainment, which it ought to be use as but we should remember that i has that power regardless of our use.
As far as where we go when we die. I currently believe there is an afterlife, I know not what it is like. I don't like several traditional images and I rather hope its more like the popular modern idea where it is what you want it to be kind of thing. Though end the end I imagine is just another plane of existence so it will be nothing like this one.
I also hope that there isn't reincarnation, I'd rather not have to come back or wait for someone to come back and such.

I've started believing that once we die, we don't realize we're dead. Hence spirits and ghosts (which I do believe in). Maybe they don't know they're dead. If they're hit by a car, they sit up and see everyone. They try to say they're ok or something, but nobody listens or hears them. Then they go on with life. er...afterlife.
After death sure is a mystery huh? It makes you wonder what will await you or what will happen, and then all sorts of stuff pops up in your head about life and the creation o.o
And welcome to LG.
