If you see a sexy lady and then lust and ‘fap,’ would you follow Jesus or not be Christian?
‘Matthew 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.’
Would you pluck out your eyes and cut off your hands, or are you not Christian, and maybe even think Christianity is insane/harmful?
Religion & Spirituality4 years agoShouldn't Abrahamic religious schools and higher education be called brainwashing departments and higher ignorance?
The Eden story of Abrahamism (Judaism, Christianity, Islam, etc.) describes humanity shouldn't know (ethics,) and if the book of Enoch (having to do with fallen angels teaching science) is rejected, that humanity shouldn't know anything. Shouldn't Abrahamic schools be called brainwashing departments, and their higher education be called higher ignorance? (also because of all the harmful, violent dogma)
Other - Education4 years agoAbraham seemed schizophrenic, and ‘God,’ a psychopathic/violent devil. Shouldn't Abrahamism be classified as harmful ‘cults?’?
Abrahamism (Judaism, Christianity, Islam, etc.) is based on the story Abraham thought it moral to sacrifice his son to ‘God’ (whom if is omniscient and kind, would have had no reason to ask, but if isn't omnisicient or likes scary tests such as that would have traumatized Abraham and his son, has no reason to be called ‘God.’) That's the story that led to Israelites doing execution, genocide, human sacrifice, basically every crime in name of ‘God,’ and Jesus upholding every letter of the Jewish Bible, threatening Hell and future war, and Muhammad subjugating non-Muslims and warring on all non-Abrahamists. Isn't all that doctrine (that repeatedly gets adopted even by children of ‘moderates’) inhuman, anti-civilization/-society, and fitting the definition of a harmful cult humanity needs to evolve past?
3 AnswersLaw & Ethics4 years agoHow did rationalist idealism develop from Pythagoras to Plato, Plotinus, Descartes, Leibniz to mathematicism? (fixing ideas in new versions)?
Pythagoreanism & Platonism (and in between) are called original/standard (Western) rationalist idealism, continued in Neopythagoreanism, Neoplatonism (etc.,) in which Neoplatonist Plotinus fixed Plato's theory of ideal forms. (How?) Rationalist idealism continued in Cartesianism (arguably,) German Idealism, Mike Hockney's mathematicist God Series (atheist or ‘mathematics-theist’ similar to panendeism,) mathematizing rationalist idealism, and in which the series has an edition of Leibniz's Monadology. How did such philosophy past Plotinus fix his ideas and others up to mathematicism?
