Thank you for the comprehensive reply!
Trying my hardest to be civil in this uncivilised world.
Thank you for the comprehensive reply!
So, was it true that Indian Rafale’s were downed by the Chinese-made Pakistani fighters or…? Can anyone elucidate us a bit on the topic?
“Jesus complex” is being an imperialistic or violent and abusive pillaging freak? 😭🙃
The Sermon on the Mount is like 4 pages long, come on…
Or any sort of American-based religion tbh. Christianity (the rites and added Roman things, not the supposed core of Jesus’ teachings) is a mess in itself, but then you have Evangelicals and megachurches and whatever other crazy and distinctively American branches they have over there that I’m not surprised that’s their only understanding of religion. Religion is about self-control, everything else is wind.
They’ll convenientlyskip over every part in scripture that demands morality and self-restraint, and holds them accountable to their actions. Oh, and literally all of Jesus’ teachings, lol. Merciless “Christians” are a little bit like “dry water”.
When it comes to scripture, it’s important to learn to separate the wheat from the chaff. If suddenly tomorrow he truly believed that God will judge him and that God is wise and just (I feel like any monotheistic religion has at least these attributes), he would have a mental breakdown cause he’d know he’s almost certainly going to Hell, lol. He’s too far away from just basic decency and morality, too in love with money, power and underaged girls, to ever take one step in that direction though. 🤷
You seem lovely so probably an okay world at the very least. 👍😁
True but also easily misled because many people will naturally gravitate towards many things that aren’t geopolitics, ethics and existentialism and with enough fancy words people can go rogue for long enough periods of time to cause great chaos… and now we have nukes and drones and man-made ecological catastrophes and whatnot, idk, it’s scary to say the least. Hopefully we collectively enter the next century with less confusion and less compounded, unexplored trauma. 🙏
I agree entirely with your second sentence!
Maybe, but not in the next one.
“Whatever, we need to exterminate brown people” is not stupid, just plain evil.
Honestly? Probably something like rage or pride… 🙃
If we manage to understand pretty much everything about the universe above the quantum level, I’d consider that a great success for some bipedal primates on the 3rd rock from the Sun, looool. 😁
Why do you feel bad? Are their lives and opinions that important? I know that the human being is kind at his core, of course, but that nature can be easily veiled with enough wrong ideas. The reason for rampant immorality in some places and times is not because the human being is a natural antisocial, solipsistic deviant but because some cultures heavily uphold wrong things and have completely let go of the right ideas.
How do you think you pass over riches, drugs, sex, etc that you can easily acquire one way or another? You don’t cheat on your wife because of your beliefs, you don’t do coke because of your beliefs, you don’t undercut your employees because of your beliefs, etc etc. There literally isn’t any other way to curtail your hedonistic impulses (and other impulses, ofc) but to BELIEVE in something, a sentence or a group of sentences that resound within you at least, that tells you “no, it’s okay, I can hold it in cause if not I’ll regret it later”. It’s either that or, idk, locking yourself up in a room? 😅
Thesis? Substance? Do you hold any beliefs, are there any value systems or ideas you appreciate greatly and by which you live by? Or don’t you? Cause if you do, then your initial post is either a bad attempt at comedy or, idk, a social faux pas? Regardless, it’s false, cause you do understand how beliefs are important. And if you don’t, then why do you care? Why did you act out when I said values and ideas get in the way of hedonism and consumerism? It’s not your case, right? That would be shameful, but whatever. And if it is, then at least admit to it the same way you ‘admitted’ not to understand the importance of beliefs, or else it’s double shameful and a certain sign of a silly man.
I mean, I assumed you didn’t believe beliefs were fundamental and important since your whole post consists of being shocked by it, lol. Don’t retreat now, silly man.
Maybe the way isn’t just killing and incarcerating the past generation of murderers without a demolition of the ideologies and attitudes that led to it, in order to rebuild a society that ‘naturally’ abhors violence, that enjoys <-> tolerates other tribes while always recognising that people are people, that our differences are basically superficial and nobody is born evil, that life is ‘sacred’ and money is secondary… Maybe then, we could better prepare for rich fuggs who seek to profit from war and disunity and will use the 80% of unthinking sheep for their benefit. You can’t just kill ideas like racism, like vacuous consumerism, like “Crusades good! Lebensraum! God wills it!”, people need to give them up willingly before. If not for the sake of doing what’s right, at the very least for the sake of long term safety.
We shall see in the next 20 years how this plays out through the decline of the US and EU, and the eventual total collapse of at least one of those.
Evil that’s necessary isn’t evil, just painful.
Anyway, my example: a fever? 😅
You just made a list of many of the things I truly hate, food wise, lol. I guess sun-dried tomatoes are okay? 😅
