“The Gods are always good and always do good and never harm, being always in the same state and like themselves. The truth simply is that, when we are good, we are joined to the Gods by our likeness to live according to virtue we cling to the Gods, and when we become evil we make the Gods our enemies — not because they are angered against us, but because our sins prevent the light of the Gods from shining upon us, and put us in communion with spirits of punishment.” - Sallustius (On the Gods and the World)
“I just CAN’T BELIEVE these TREACHEROUS, BLASPHEMOUS Platonists and their demoting of the gods by….
*checks notes*
Asserting they are perfectly virtuous offspring of the ultimate source of goodness and justice. What is this Christian nonsense?!”
@MithrasDominus@Aesiric_Media It’s spiritual blackmail. Order vs. Chaos embodied the ancient tradition rather than good and evil. Plato was trying to make the gods moral.
Republicanism and liberalism are both cringe.
But, you’re wrong if you disagree with traditional values, God, and racial + ethnic loyalty.
If you disagree with any of these, you’re just wrong.
I don’t care if you hate Trump and hate republicans, that’s all cringe goy stuff, anyway and a product of a decadent America.
But, if you hate truth, beauty, goodness, and your fatherland and race, then you’re lost.
“[Augustine didn’t have the level of sophistication of Neoplatonism]”
Contemporary philosopher Dr. Eric Perl describes how Augustine’s God, despite being inspired by Plotinus, lacks the true view of God as the source of being itself, as utterly beyond intellect, rather than as merely equal to being itself.
@sejminafilolli@Shqypetari@trad_west_ I really wish you and all our people would look into philosophical theism — belief in God through philosophy and meditation rather than by accepting a foreign scripture as the one true religion. These scriptures are meant to control us, not help us.
