user, contemporary society is plagued by countless issues, but the root from which they all stem is none other but a general lack of spirituality. We've been plunged in a world where sex carries more significance than genuine trust and human bonds and the thirst of sex is slowly steering us back towards our base nature to the point that people no longer believe in commitment and are becoming more self-absorbed than ever. But is antagonism and vitriol truly the answer to the ongoing spiritual decadence? We should direct our hatred towards the sin, and at the same time reserve our love for the sinners to drive them towards the path of light with a counter-education against the decadent instruction that is being given to the populace. I don't think Jesus would condemn the whole lot of us if he were to come back among us, what I believe he will do is that he would strive to reach out to us and help us find forgiveness in the Lord.
"Truly , I say to you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes go into the kingdom of God before you. (Matthew 21:31)"

Avarice is related to materialism anyhow
Alexander Johnson
While I understand your moral reasoning behind pacifistic method to rehabilitate the degeneracy, it is just that the corruption of their virtues has become uncleanseable. Making sinful behavior apart of their core philosophy about how to conduct their daily lives; causing re-education impossible.
Henry Cooper
completely, but avarice is the greed for it.
Cooper Green
You can see by yourself that lack of spirituality is detrimental to humanity as a whole, suicide stats and such prove it. It's never too late to set others on the right path, and hating on your fellow brothers will only stray them further from God. Even a beacon of belief is enough to promise you salvation, the Lord would never look upon us with spite.

How does this look in practise? Remember in Rotherham when the father was arrested when trying to save his daughter from gang rape? Well, he was being a "bad Christian" who was saved by the "good Christian" police who stopped him being violent towards the criminals.
Remember, Christian morality is that when a Paki/Nigger rapes your daughter you offer your wife as well.

Reminder that Buddhism is an Aryan religion and was widespread in Europe before Cuckstianity had dominated by oppression and subversion.
>he doesn't know how to read "turn the other cheek" means, "hit me a second time, get your fill, before i fucking erase you, because i am eternal."

>urbanization is the root cause no, that's a symptom. the cause is sin.
Gabriel Carter
>"hit me a second time, get your fill, before i fucking erase you, because i am eternal." So how does that play in to people that aren't eternal? It's just being a cuck for nothing.

Why wouldn't I be right? Science and statistics agree with me, and so does God after all.
By reeducating people and training them to cultivate spiritual bonds and by offering a second chance to the stray lambs.
The lack of spirituality is actually.
user, believing in God doesn't mean having your hands tied when it comes to bad deeds. Punishment can assume a reeducational purpose too.
God has given you free will, who am I to judge?
Thanks for bumping my thread kind user! I'm a bit taken with my uni exams but I'll try to keep the thread alive. May God bless you.
Pacifism won't work, there is nothing inconsistent with physical coersion to build faith if done out of love for the sinner.
William Johnson
>user, believing in God doesn't mean having your hands tied when it comes to bad deeds. Turn the other cheek, bro. "he who is without sin cast the first stone" bro.
Chase Powell
Do you firmly believe harming will bring them closer to God instead of driving them further away? Why not try to reason with them before jumping to violence?
That verse implies that punishment done out of revenge and hate is pointless, but doesn't exclude disciplining someone. "Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent."
>That verse implies that punishment done out of revenge and hate is pointless Yes, so if you hate that your daughter is being raped, then you should love the rapist (the sinner) and not stop it. >so be zealous and repent. "Please stop raping my daughter :("
Cuck religion.
Noah Mitchell
You're wrong once again. Hate is indeed a sin but punishment need not be enacted out of hate. You can stop him, beat him, arrest him so long as you don't dare take his life and you're doing it for his good and not your selfishness. You can discipline adults the same way you discipline kids.
>You're wrong once again. Hate is indeed a sin but punishment need not be enacted out of hate. So if don't like your daughter being raped you can't punish him? What the fuck? >You can stop him, beat him, arrest him so long as you don't dare take his life and you're doing it for his good and not your selfishness. But surely "his good" is allowing him to be free to rape your daughter? What suffering is he undergoing by being allowed to rape any young girl he sees?
Connor Ortiz
Thankfully the lessons of our cultural fathers are forever. Bless Plato and Aristotle, truly the ones we must follow in these turbulent times.
>virtues, How is not stopping a rapist if you hate your daughter being raped (which is the human response to your daughter being raped) a virtue?

I find Buddhism to be inferior to Hinduism on the grounds of its denial of Brahman. But Platonism is even better still since it has all the concepts of the Universal Soul and the inner Self while being authentically and originally Greek, and thus, European.
Wyatt Martinez
>But surely "his good" is allowing him to be free to rape your daughter? "His good" means turning him towards the path of light even by smiting him, not allowing him to violate your daughter. I'm not sure you're following. I said you're allowed to correct his ways with any method and prevent him from committing crimes, why should you let him rape your daughter?
>Socrates, Plato and Aristotle didn't need religion to support their pursuit of virtue You are foolish if you don't think they had a spiritual worldview that heavily influenced their thought. You've never read Phaedo or Timaeus I'm guessing.
Nathan Cruz
We are sooo divided. We definitely shouldn't divide by racial lines. Our nations totally aren't filled yahwe loving shitskins. It's division that's our problem mmmyeeeessss, these nigger feet are so tasty.
>"His good" means turning him towards the path of light even by smiting him Thou shalt not kill, bro. Also I like how you're placing his well-being above your own (hypothetical) daughter's well-being. Fucking Christcucks. >not allowing him to violate your daughter. But stopping him will show hate (since you hate that your daughter is being raped), thereby you're sinning. >prevent him from committing crimes Why stop him? I mean, you don't (gasp!) hate that he commits crimes, do you? >why should you let him rape your daughter? Because stopping him could lead to him being harmed, thereby you're the REAL sinner for hurting the rapist.
Fucking BASED. Slaving your whole life and never having children so you can let a foreigner have a home and raise children in your land. Christianity is amazing.
Ive been screaming im here over on x for ages. Check the truth archives.
Zachary Sullivan
Obsessive attachment to race is a grave sin that blinds your eyed from the light of God. Smiting doesn't mean killing Stopping him doesn't directly display any form of contempt, you're just addressing the issue and preventing him from carrying through his sinful deeds. You shall be punished accordingly if you don't repent. Also the only thing the Bible says about homosexuality involves anal sex, not feelings for people of the same gender. A life of chastity with a member of the same sex doesn't violate any rules so long as you hold in your mind that sex should be done only for reproductive purposes.
>Why stop him? >Because stopping him could lead to him being harmed So when you slap a kid across his face you're harming him? Castiganing your children to teach them the right way is harming them? That's quite a flawed logic, I'm starting to think you're a troll.

>Stopping him doesn't directly display any form of contempt But you'd only stop him if that was the case. If you were neutral or positive to it you'd allow it to continue. >preventing him from carrying through his sinful deeds. And who are you do judge him? What about "judge non lest ye be judged"? >You shall be punished accordingly if you don't repent. How? How is letting someone off from raping your daughter (maybe he impregnated her, so raise that child, or maybe force her to marry her rapist?) going to result in any punishment for him? >So when you slap a kid across his face you're harming him? Um...Yes...? Isn't a slap by nature harmful, even if only a little bit? >Castiganing your children to teach them the right way is harming them? "Oooohh, please don't rape my daughter :( it makes me sad when she screams in agony."
They still believed in souls. To Aristotle, the "active mind" was a sort of universal "mind of the universe(or god)" that were all shared and innate to everyone.
You could say they didn't have an "organized" religion in the sense that Christianity has a very specific dogma that cannot be corrected or expanded. Its authors are supposed to be perfect and unquestionable.
To Plato and Aristotle, many of the questions cannot be fully answered, and are left open to later generations. While on specific topics Aristotle did differ from Plato, it is highly likely that he was some form of a Monist - especially given his ideas regarding active intellect.
Daniel Brown
>But you'd only stop him if that was the case. Once again punishment for disciplinary purposes is allowed. >And who are you do judge him? What about "judge non lest ye be judged"? The verse is directed at hypocrites, judging hypocritically is a sin. >How? How is letting someone off from raping your daughter (maybe he impregnated her, so raise that child, or maybe force her to marry her rapist?) going to result in any punishment for him? I said this part was meant for the other user >Um...Yes...? Isn't a slap by nature harmful, even if only a little bit? Will it serve to teach the child about the his mistakes? Then it's fully alright.
>Once again punishment for disciplinary purposes is allowed. Yeah, but why is raping your daughter (whose well-being you continue to ignore, since she's now defiled I guess she will either have to marry her rapist or die alone and childless, huh) deserving of punishment if you can't hate the act or the actor? >The verse is directed at hypocrites, judging hypocritically is a sin. And everyone is a sinner (he without sin cast first stone = no one casts stone) , so no judging allowed. >Will it serve to teach the child about the his mistakes? Assuming it's a mistake? What if it's part of God's plan? Looks like you should go to Hell for going against God (even though you didn't know that it was the case).
Carter Perez
I've repeated it countless times but at this point i have to conclude you're responding for the sole purpose of toying with me. Castigating the person to set him on the right path is fine, punishing him out of spite isn't. If your dad has ever beaten you i believe he didn't do it because he hated his own son, but because he cared about you and had to resort to such harsh means to correct you. God welcomes us all with open arms if you're willing to repent and follow his path, it is natural to put others on the right track if they can not see the weight of their sins.
>Castigating the person to set him on the right path is fine So what if he just doesn't go "on the right path"? How many times can he rape your daughter/the daughters of others? >punishing him out of spite isn't. And again you place his well-being above your raped daughter's. Fucking christcucks. >God welcomes us all with open arms if you're willing to repent and follow his path, Um, no. If I walked in on my daughter being raped I'd just cave his head in not pull him in to a hug and tell him I love him while my daughter cries in agony on the floor. >they can not see the weight of their sins. Rapists (all criminals) can see that they're criminals, but they don't care.
