"Not to be constantly correcting people, and in particular not to jump on them whenever they make an error of usage or a grammatical mistake or mispronounce something, but just answer their question or add another example, or debate the issue itself (not their phrasing), or make some other contribution to the discussion—and insert the right expression, unobtrusively." - Marcus Aurelius

Scripture says to Pharaoh: “I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.” Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden. One of you will say to me: “Then why does God still blame us? For who is able to resist his will?” But who are you, a human being, to talk back to God? “Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it, ‘Why did you make me like this?

Literally any world history book will do. You can read all about how old Akkadian stories like the flood myth were basically stolen, had all the Akkadian gods scratched out, and replaced with the Hebrew one.

You can read about the ways in which the Romans co-opted Christianity and rewrote it so it wouldn't be a threat to their empire, and how they rolled up random Roman and barbarian/druidic holidays and repainted them as Christian holidays.

You can read about how a million different sects split off based on their own political and power motivations and rewrote their doctrine to better control their congregations.

Modern Christianity would be completely unrecognizeable to anybody who actually followed Jesus, and the bible is largely a collection of repackaged fables and old-world political allegories.

It's all made by people, for the purposes of controlling other people.

>>18189380
What's false about the argument? The Problem of Evil is basically gradeschool-tier philosophy, but Christianity has yet to come up with a better response than "God works in mysterious ways," which is just a fancier way of saying "idk lol."

The Hebrews at the time were incredibly Hellenized. Philo of Alexandria was using Plato to write Torah commentaries before anyone had ever heard of Jesus. Jews lived in Rome and Ovid thought you could pick up girls at the synagogue. Everyone who lived in Jesus's time would be surprised at the state of things today, mostly because they'd have never believed that Rome would've become Christian.

Do you know how many earthquakes which destroy buildings happen simultaneously during eclipses? except it’s explicitly written in the texts by the historians, who were learned and would be aware of the movement of the moon, that the eclipse was not aligned with the normal movements of the moon.

Happy to keep letting you prove my point homey.

I think the funniest part is that 99.9% of Christians have never read their own holy book. A lot will say they have, but let's be real. It's like 600,000 words of archaic prose, most of which is fairly boring. Your average podunk Christian has never read anything longer than a billboard ad. Even a midwit Christian probably thinks a 100,000 word plain-english airport novel is a meaty read. Hell I doubt most members of the clergy have actually read it cover to cover.

We have hundreds of millions of people swearing by a book whose contents they don't even know, and acting smug and self righteous about it to people who don't buy into it. Out come the quotes about how gays are evil, but then suddenly it's not meant to be taken literally when we get to the parts about how it's OK to sell your children into slavery or how wearing polyester is a one way ticket to hell.

2) If God's morality is intelligible to us, then who's to say we ought not attempt to understand it from a human perspective? If we can understand God's morality, then what's so divine about it?

Someone that merely goes to mass on Sundays will, over the liturgical course of three years, hear the entire new testament and all the relevant parts of the old (they skip some of the old Hebrew history in the mass cycle, but you'd have it in the liturgy of hours).
If you think that isn't reading, it's like complaining that people are retarded for seeing a stage performance of Hamlet instead of reading it (aside from the fact that they will obviously read it too in both case). The canon of the bible was drawn for liturgical purposes in the first place.

They hated Thomas Hobbes because he told the truth

"In early youth, as we contemplate our coming life, we are like children in a theatre before the curtain is raised, sitting there in high spirits and eagerly waiting for the play to begin. It is a blessing that we do not know what is really going to happen. Could we foresee it, there are times when children might seem like innocent prisoners, condemned, not to death, but to life, and as yet all unconscious of what their sentence means." - Schopenhauer

"We are like lambs in a field, disporting themselves under the eye of the butcher, who chooses out first one and then another for his prey. So it is that in our good days we are all unconscious of thr evil that Fate may have presently in store for us--sickness, poverty, mutilation, loss of sight or reason." - Schopenhauer

Not him, but I don't trust people who do that as it just amounts to a definitional retreat to justify evil. It is conceivable, however, that God's morality is different to human morality in the same way that human morality is different to, say, an ant's. The Good from a God's-eye point of view is the good of the entire universe, so there can be no room for particularism or sentimentality.

in terms of predicates yours is far more assuming than his.

Of course it depends on your definition of god. and if there is a catagorical difference between mortal and divine, which is usually agreed, otherwise God is a meaningless terminology in itself.

the idea of godlyness implies difference from nongodlyness. therefore ascribing mortal limitations on the divine is oxymoronic.

the problem here is what we define god as A PRIORI.

he's pretty good when you ignore his shit about jazz. His criticisms are great, but he constantly has to resort to utopianism in his critiques of the Enlightenment, because he cannot let go of the idea of socialism, even though the logical conclusion of his philosophy is that socialism is impossible. In Prisms, he basically agrees with Spengler that decline is terminal, but that socialism will inevitably prove Spengler wrong (though there is no indication for this).
But if Adorno were to draw this final conclusion, he'd simply become an extremely reactionary conservative, and he cannot admit that to himself.

Pure basedness. A natural, logical observation. And nowadays saying it makes you a radical.

I heard somewhere that also because of their teeth he thought they are inferior

"[Administration] covers the surface of society with a network of small complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided: men are seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting: such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to be nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd." —Alexis de Tocqueville ('Democracy in America')

"Nigger."
-William Falkner.

"Possibly for some a transitory or permanent association of material interests, the Nation is to us, above all, a moral entity, shaped over centuries and through the labor and solidarity of the successive generations, linked by affinities of blood and spirit, and to which, we could very well believe, is providentially attributed a specific mission in human history. Only by the weight of countless sacrifices, by common and united struggle, by shared identity and genesis, only by that collective patrimony, only by that spiritual communion is one morally grounded in his duty to serve the Nation and give one's life for it. Everything for the Nation, nothing against the Nation."
- Salazar

How does Powell negotiate the quality of what is produced?
A lot of the worlds greatest artists are poor. A lot of music acts who provide formulaic works the public finds appealing are rich.
A lot of wealthy people simply own land or houses and do nothing.

this is the most cringe thing i've seen in months

The events that took place in the Garden of Eden is explained perfectly by the Gnostic tradition and tells of the goodness and omnipotence of God the Father. Even since those days mankind has been offered salvation from earthly constraints.

The larping about Germans being natural "heroes" (while the French are sybarites and Brits shekel shufflers) was always embarrassing but was made retroactively cringe of the highest order by the defeat.

Napoleon is the idol of midwitts. The repercussions of his attempts to appease his conscious have irreversibly degraded humanity itself. Democracy's foundation is wishful thinking.

Based. Reminds me of this:
>"I have found strength where one does not look for it: in simple, mild, and pleasant people, without the least desire to rule—and, conversely, the desire to rule has often appeared to me a sign of inward weakness: they fear their own slave soul and shroud it in a royal cloak (in the end, they still become the slaves of their followers, their fame, etc.) The powerful natures dominate, it is a necessity, they need not lift one finger. Even if, during their lifetime, they bury themselves in a garden house!"
- Nietzsche

>"I'm a corporate raider," I whispered lasciviously into the cordless phone. "I orchestrate hostile takeovers. What do you think of that?" and I would pause before making sucking noises, freakish piglike grunts, and then ask, "Huh, bitch?" Most of the time I could tell they were frightened and this pleased me greatly, enabled me to maintain a strong, pulsing erection for the duration of the calls, until one of the girls, Hilary Wallace, asked, unfazed, "Dad, is that you?" and whatever enthusiasm I'd built up plummeted.
