>>165560>I was raised agnostic and to me, I can't understand this fear at all. The abyss, nihilism, inherent meaninglessness fuels me to create and add colour to life. Its oddly comforting at times. I don't think life is an abyss, just the idea, the concept, is good to power passion and creativity.I think existence is more like a giant sandbox than anything. Maybe there's some kind of moral code involved, but even that I'm not sure of. I definitely don't believe there's some laundry list of dos and don'ts to adhere to.
>They can be good people at heart all they want but without understanding of the JQ and the racial fight we find ourselves in, I wouldn't trust them. An insidious, de-clawed enemy, but enemy nonetheless unless they can de-program themselves.I'm not saying they can be trusted in regard to anything involving race at all. Listening to CQ Radio for a while showed me that even "pro-white Christians" are largely incapable of being trusted. Most will put their religion over their race. And if they don't, then how Christian are they really?
>Theres nothing wrong with the wrecking ball approach as long as its not the only tack you ever take. Theres a time for nuance as well, but I feel like after 2020 clear lines in the sand have been drawn and the time for the wrecking ball is now more than ever. Kali Yuga>Many people in this world will use empathy as a sign of weakness. Not everybody, but I think its clear by now who's friend and who's foe and we can safely kinda act accordingly.I mean in the sense that you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. And while I do try to have empathy for pragmatic reasons, I also try to be patient and respectful for its own sake if people are willing to reciprocate. On the other hand, the hammer does need to be brought down on ignorant retards who shoot off their mouths thinking they're a lot smarter than they are.
Not that I'm even that smart.>So I find this to be a great strength in my life personally and all that knowledge has turnt to wisdom as I age. Knowledge has to be practically applied to develop into wisdom. I eschew taboos and social mores and like direct people who talk about big ideas, events, concepts. Gotta break a few eggs to make an omelette. Being raised in a non-religious house, I explored all the different world religions and many different spiritual things as a teenager and young adult and that gradually led me to Paganism, and racial realism. Ancestor worship and a mix of Pantheism, I guess is the best way of describing my beliefs.I've always been into paranormal subjects, and that to me was one of the biggest factors that led to me throwing in the towel on Christianity. When you do enough digging, you can't help but come across things that totally contradict the claims of religions like Christianity and point you to other directions regarding the nature of reality. A lot of people into "woo" are leftists and claim that biology doesn't really matter. I think consciousness is more fundamental to reality than the material, but I definitely am not someone who rejects biology. The people who do so can't seem to come up with an actionable solution to dealing with innate racial differences in a dog-eat-dog world where game theory applies. Most of them seem to still be stuck on assuming that differences between individuals or populations mainly come down to environment and are just whistling past the graveyard. How are you supposed to solve a problem if you're not even willing to face it in the first place?
I'm definitely more sympathetic to paganism than Abrahamic religions, but I wouldn't call myself a pagan either. I just have appreciation for the gods and stories our ancestors came up with and think the the aesthetics are appealing, too.
>This reminds of the Hitler quote about the Life-affirming realities of struggle and of Nature. The one about how, paraphrasing, struggle is what makes a man strong and is an ever-present reality of Life. It can either beat you down, or it can build you up, but theres nothing inherently evil or bad and scary about it at all. Its just Nature. I'd rather sharpen my claws and study Power and how to play the power game than submit to some 'god' that may or may not care.The idea of life being endless struggle isn't one that appeals to me, but it might be true. I don't think there's any reason to believe it couldn't also hold true on planes of existence other than this one. Too many people seem to believe that once they're dead they'll be guaranteed an existence of blissful lotus eating and not have to worry about being taken advantage of by other beings. I'd rather keep my guard up here and in any possible existence after death. I question the motives of anyone who encourages others to engage in "toxic positivity" and completely cast aside wariness and suspicion. "Our differences don't matter. We're all one, man. We all just need to love each other!" Yeah, well, under a monistic framework me and a giant centipede are one, too. That doesn't mean I'm going to want to have anything to do with one. There has to be some level of nuance.
>I suspect this the case for most christians. The jews control us all thru anger and thru fear. Righteous anger is Just and Right, but we should rid ourselves of fear. "Fear is the mind-killer, I shall not fear".I think the Christians who promote annihilationism or universal salvation are doing the rest of us a service. The more heavily you cut out a doctrine like that, the more people will feel like they have permission to leave the plantation.
>Am glad you got out of that religion like you did. It can ruin people.I have older relatives who've bought into the whole nine yards. The Jews are the chosen people, going "witnessing" or on mission trips (or attending religious events elsewhere), race mixing is fine, etc. It's sickening and depressing the way so many of them have been hoodwinked.
>>165565>I mean even when I first had it explained to me when I was like 8, never understood the appeal of the jesus story.I never truly liked Jesus either. I was always more into the Old Testament warriors as a kid, like Samson, Gideon, and David. I just felt like Jesus was my get-out-of-hell-free card and had to be respectful.
>I don't get it. That's not inspiring. That doesn't really make sense.It really is nonsensical. It's a soteriological Rube Goldberg machine.
>Why did anything jesus even do lead to the outcome of "saving man from sin"? Why did he even have to do anything at all, like why was this a problem to begin with?Letting himself be killed somehow saves us from something Yahweh knew about and allowed to happen if he's supposed to be both omniscient and omnipotent.
>>165573Beat me to it.
>>165575That certainly seems more likely to me than the Greeks reading the Bible and borrowing from the Mosaic, which is what Philo seriously argued. The chutzpah goes back a long way.
>>165584Yeah, it's a classic. Besides how butthurt Yahweh comes across, the whole concept of the messiah sort of creates a Revenge of the Nerds scenario when you think about it. The Jews had been constantly getting swirlies from the Egyptians (according to the Bible, anyway), Assyrians, Babylonians, the Greek Ptolemaics and Seleucids, and the Romans for not worshiping Yahweh hard enough; but then the day is saved when a deus ex machina happens that helps puts the Jews in the Chads' place and show them who's boss. It's so clearly a wish fulfillment fantasy fueled by the resentment of spiteful dweebs who had been getting their clocks cleaned by everyone around them.
