I like to think that in theory we are capable of change for the better at any time if we see the necessity for it.

Christians cannot solve their problems without rejecting Christianity. That is their problem.

Christians, thinking they are top dog, refuse to admit that their ancestors might have got it wrong and would rather die and their civilisation with it than admit that they might have been wrong. Sad.

There is a reason why the Founding Fathers were heretical Christians and proto-Muslim.

I guess nobody is much interested in the theology of their own religion, much less the theology of rival religions.

@MessiahSubstitute
Church history is essential to understanding Christianity, but that has been comprehensively suppressed by Western governments. I blame the British monarchy.
12:13 PM
@MessiahSubstitute
America can never be part of Christendom because Christendom is only relevant to KINGDOMS and America is a REPUBLIC.
12:14 PM
@MessiahSubstitute
The last 250 years of Western history has been a series of republican revolutions rejecting the institution of absolute monarchy.
12:15 PM
@MessiahSubstitute
If you want to blame the end of Christendom on a particular country, that country would be America.

Surely all should submit to Truth, Logic and Morality, whether they want to or not.
12:16 PM
@MessiahSubstitute
The operating question is whether Jesus is God. Christians dare not ask themselves that question, because they already half know the answer.
12:18 PM
@MessiahSubstitute
Without a group belief system and adherence to its values and rules, there is no group. This is an existential issue.
12:18 PM
@MessiahSubstitute
We submit to the law, but what if the law is an ass?
12:19 PM
@MessiahSubstitute
If God created Universe and humanity, then we are the Slaves of God. We are certainly the slaves of our government. What if being the Slaves of God gives us more and better rights?

It is very simple: if we are forced to play a game, we need to know the name of the game, the object of the game and the rules of the game to win the game. The cattle don't care though.
12:22 PM
@MessiahSubstitute
Currently, we are not told he name of the game, the object of the game or the rules of the game. I have proposed a system that would make all this public, but nobody cares.
12:23 PM
@MessiahSubstitute
How can you win if you don't know the name of the game, the object of the game or the rules of the game? How can you not care? But the cattle don't care as long as they are fed and watered.

@MessiahSubstitute
How about talking to the Elephant in the Room?

@YawnGod
The problem with submission is that often the entity you are submitting to wants you to be *happy* you are submitting. The act of submission is not enough...🤔
12:33 PM
@MessiahSubstitute
@YawnGod You submit to the INEVITABLE.
12:34 PM
@YawnGod
@MessiahSubstitute Sounds like a nihilistic telos 🤔
12:35 PM
@MessiahSubstitute
@MessiahSubstitute You submit to the inevitability of having to discuss politics and religion even though you hate it.
12:37 PM
@YawnGod
If only drivers had such thoughts of "every time I get in this car I might die" 🚗

@BrentBrowling Cognitive dissonance is what you suffer from when you attempt to believe the lies you have been told.
12:39 PM
@MessiahSubstitute
@BrentBrowling The Koran says hypocrites are hell-bound. I cannot tell you how much that cheered me. You don't get away with anything.
12:42 PM
@MessiahSubstitute
@MessiahSubstitute Jews and Muslims apparently praying correctly can be guilty of hidden idolatry ie hypocrisy. Hypocrites are creative at coming up with reasons for not doing/stating the obvious.
12:43 PM
@MessiahSubstitute
@BrentBrowling Corruption is ignoring truth. That is corruption enough.
12:44 PM
@MessiahSubstitute
@BrentBrowling Contradictions are key to telling the difference between a religion that is logical and one that is clearly based on nonsense and absurdity.
12:45 PM
@YawnGod
The path of least resistance is nature's way (path) 🤔
12:46 PM
@MessiahSubstitute
@BrentBrowling It is logical to be moral if we want the continued existence of our group.
12:46 PM
@MessiahSubstitute
@YawnGod The path of least resistance is the desire for immediate gratification.
12:47 PM
@MessiahSubstitute
@BrentBrowling Natural law is morality+ logic, isn't it?
12:47 PM
@YawnGod
@MessiahSubstitute I imagine being right all the time is immediately gratifying at all times.
12:48 PM
@MessiahSubstitute
@YawnGod Not if nobody heeds anything you say. Would you feel better being mad or knowing that everyone around you is mad?
12:48 PM
@YawnGod
@MessiahSubstitute Deep down, they mean the same thing.
12:49 PM
@BrentBrowling
Western natural law = Eastern Daoism - both emphasize aligning human life with a higher, natural order
12:49 PM
@MessiahSubstitute
@BrentBrowling What is the natural order?
12:50 PM
@MessiahSubstitute
@BrentBrowling It is true that lies are preferred by most people.
12:50 PM
@MessiahSubstitute
@BrentBrowling The natural order is hierarchical.
12:53 PM
@MessiahSubstitute
Suicidal ideation can be passive and active.
12:57 PM
@MessiahSubstitute
God is above His Creation and humanity is part of Creation. For this reason we are supposed to obey God's laws if we claim to believe in Him. God's First Commandment forbids idolatry, but no one cares

@BrentBrowling The Abrahamic God is the ideal form of deities.

@BrentBrowling I don't see why we need Plato to obey God's laws if we believe in His existence.
1:00 PM
@MessiahSubstitute

@BrentBrowling There is only one Abrahamic God.

@BrentBrowling Why worship lesser gods if we know of the most powerful deity conceivable? That would be illogical.
1:03 PM
@BrentBrowling
Monotheistic exoteric ideas came from Zoroastrian Ahura Mazda on 4th century BCE Elephantine island, prior to Maccabean revolt and Greek Septuagint

@BrentBrowling The power of one is undisputed and supreme.
