I love Plato's allegory of the cave, because he's so clearly searching for television as an example, but it won't be invented for thousands of years, so he has to basically invent the concept of a projector (light source + shadow puppets) just for his hypothetical to work.

You fail to understand the meaning of the Samaritan parable. Very few people do, because it is scandalous to many today, especially on Catholic twitter. The Levite and the Priest in the parable are representatives of the ‘orthodox’ believers. The Samaritan is the ‘heretic’ or ‘schismatic’, yet it is not the ‘orthodox’ who are the true neighbors, the truly justified, rather it is the ‘heretic’.

He was a truer believer in God than the ‘orthodox’. Mormons (and others) often show these better fruits than mainstream ‘orthodox’ Catholics and Protestants. It’s a hard truth, just like Christ’s parable.

I use the metaphor of “being a dog”.

70% of people are invested in their own self-image. They expect you to try to top them or compete with them or they feel insecure. I prefer to be the dog. I am happy to see you and you are smarter than me. If we can put all these status games in the background, by letting you go first, we can actually connect.

The Sermon on the Mount is the most important theological speech ever delivered. Not because it is poetic. Not because it sounds spiritual. But because of what it dares to do. It takes a wrecking ball to every pathway humans normally use to feel righteous about themselves.

Before Jesus ever spoke on that mountain, something shocking had already happened in history. The Law of Moses had done what no other legal system in the ancient world dared to do. Every civilization punished actions: assault, theft, fraud. But Israel’s God went further. He outlawed desire itself.

“You shall not covet.”

No king in Babylon tried to legislate envy. No Pharaoh tried to punish inward greed. No empire in history ever criminalized thoughts. It’s impractical. It’s unpoliceable. It makes zero political sense. Unless the point of the law was never about external control in the first place. Unless the real battleground was always the heart.

That already makes the God of Israel unlike anything humans usually invent. Man-made gods bless instincts. They excuse appetites. They baptize ambition and call it divine favor. But YHWH did the opposite: He confronted the human heart itself and declared it accountable.

Then Jesus arrived.

And instead of loosening that standard, He took it beyond human reach.

“You’ve heard not to murder. But if you hate, you are guilty.”
“You’ve heard not to commit adultery. But if you lust, you are guilty.”

He doesn’t soften Moses. He detonates Moses inside the human soul.

Think about this with intellectual honesty. No religion humans invent works like this. If people build a faith system, they build one they can pass. One that gives moral achievement, self-satisfaction, spiritual status. Something that says, “You can do it if you try hard enough.”

Jesus torches that idea completely.

He shifts the moral courtroom into your conscience. He declares that guilt isn’t just what you’ve done but what you wanted to do. Suddenly no one is innocent anymore. Not prophets. Not priests. Not kings. Not you. Not me. Everyone stands exposed.

And here is the devastating brilliance of it: Christianity is the only religion that intentionally destroys self-righteousness as a design feature. It does not leave pride standing. It does not allow moral boasting. It pushes humanity to the terrifying realization that if salvation exists, it cannot come from human goodness at all.

Which is why the same Jesus who raised the law beyond human reach… went to the Cross.

The God who demanded holiness provided it Himself. The Judge stepped into the judgment. The Lawgiver bore the penalty of the lawbreakers. No tribe invents a God like this. No empire imagines a story like this. No human heart naturally writes a script where pride dies and grace wins.

The Sermon on the Mount did not come to inspire us. It came to strip us.
Then it led us to the only place hope could survive: “It is finished.”

Free Speech entails the freedom to discuss different ideas/perspectives peacefully. Calling for death or celebrating assassinations isn’t free speech, it’s terrorism

That’s outdated, It’s not actually genetic. IQ changes over time with development and education. How is this acceptable theology? Orthodox X is seeing a ton of insanity lately.
