Of them alone it may be said that they possess a thing almost as soon as they have begun to desire it, so quickly with them does action follow upon decision.
Socialism will never work because it is nearly impossible to seperate a man from desire. It is well known that satisfaction of basic material needs has absolutely no bearing on the desires of the heart, I can give you 1 billion examples.
@ChivalryGuild If Christianity is so weak and slave coded how did it become the DOMINANT force in the world? How come you masters could not stand against us slaves? How did us slaves become the best at building civilisation, and more importantly, the best at crushing pagans into dust?
When I speak generally about a group like men/women, I am speaking directly of the people who have their identity rooted in man/woman. If your identity is rooted in the transcendent, my judgments do not apply to you.
Believing it can be done is paramount and primary to all achievement. Believing it can be done by YOU and YOUR TEAM.
It won’t guarantee success, but believing that it CANNOT be done WILL guarantee failure.
@DejaRu22 This is prob my favourite theme in proverbs
“He who disdains instruction despises his own soul, But he who heeds rebuke gets understanding.” - Proverbs 15:32
God does exist, which is why nature is orderly. The order of nature is a good thing. The purpose anthrax serves is not to be eaten by humans, but to be part of a larger biome that supports life on planet earth. Takes like this are far too zoomed in and lacking in grasp.
@jaredhmoore God does not exist. Nature is not inherently good. (Go ahead, eat some anthrax.) Disgusting things are not inherently bad. (Go ahead, refuse all surgery.)
The rest is idealist "true definition" crap.
How does anyone get persuaded by this conservative schlock?
Karl Marx was onto something when he said religion was the opiate of the masses, and while religion is deserving of critique, I think it was better than having opiates be the opiate of the masses.
