Listen to Erathoniel ranting on and on in good ol' conservative Christian fashion.

     I've revieved complaints from people saying that I'm "projecting" or "impressing" my views on them.

     I know how to project things. You put them in your hand, close your fingers, pull your hand back, open your fingers, and push your hand forward. In some places, it is called "throwing".

     I know how to impress things. Either you make their jaws drop, or you take a stick or similar object and shove it into a softer, pliable object, which will then bear the imprint of the impressing object (you can use fire, too).

     So, let me get this straight, my stating that I believe in an absolute good and evil is "evil", but stating that my belief in absolute reality is "evil" is not?

      See, secular humanity has one problem. They answer only to pleasure, like dogs answer to treats. They know not discipline, immortality, or hope, only drunkenness, death, and uncertainty. And they give up their will in order to gain what mere senses can percieve. Gone is logic, gone is reason, only desire and emptiness remain. They lose any purpose, they lose any life, they give up all for one night stands, booze, cheap food, revelry, action movies, pornography, hollow shells that provide no salvation, merely result in addiction and dependence, a crutch for the weak that only makes them weaker.

       Faith comes with apparent drawbacks. One cannot continue on in a life of sin, for then they experience only what the dogs who reject hope experience. Instead, they must work for their dinner, and they recieve a fine feast in God's house while the dogs outside enjoy their meager meals, feeling hopeless and weak. They must give up uncertainty for trust, desire for logic, emptiness for reason, but they are rewarded with salvation through Jesus Christ, independence, and strength. They find the sanctity of marriage, fellowship, and other wholesome rewards, and, above all, dignity.

Enjoy your article Erath. No point at all.

Nope, it's got a nice, sharp, point

Not entirely, but it requires foundationless discipline to keep logic and reason. Have you ever had an addiction? It's a bad thing. Say farewell to logic.


Most people are too dumb to rely on their rational minds. They need emotion, or they crash and burn in confusion. Addictions are an unfortunate side effect caused by something that was both rare and desirable in humankind's past becoming suddenly ubiquitous. Or they can just be toxins. Most of the time addictions are good. You can be addicted to success after all, and as long as you aren't playing World of Warcraft, that's a good thing.

Emotions guiding people correctly? Ha!

I've heard that addictions thing earlier this week even. I don't care. It's not enough to guide man.

Emotions and instinct are all that dumb animals have, and they have been around for much longer than human beings. We use emotions as a crutch.

I wonder what the world would be like if no one felt them? No one could understand the position of another man. Anyone could lie to himself about the morality of his actions and act according to his illogical beliefs, assuming people even cared about being 'good' anymore.

No, emotions are a good thing, even though they are inherently dumb. Pick your poison.

A couple "days", at most. Yes, but is a being capable of reason to be guided by emotions and instinct? Is that not foolishness instead of logic?

We use emotions as a crutch.

And using a crutch when it is not needed weakens the body, rendering it inable to function in the desired manner.

I wonder what the world would be like if no one felt them?

A better place, I'll tell you. No lust, violence, anger, hate? I'd take that any day.

No one could understand the position of another man. Anyone could lie to himself about the morality of his actions and act according to his illogical beliefs, assuming people even cared about being 'good' anymore.

On the contrary, emotions cloud logic, with only logic and reason, there would be no point in lying to oneself, as it is inherently self-destructive. I'm not saying people would care about being good, though, mind you, but it would be a whole lot better than now.

No, emotions are a good thing, even though they are inherently dumb. Pick your poison.

I'd rather go with reason without emotion than emotion without reason. Emotions are, as you say, inherently dumb. It's like asking for a missile that flies straight towards its target, or one that follows its target. You don't get anywhere with a dumbfire missile, if your target is moving and turning faster than you can comprehend.

Oh how I laughed.

I think that if anybody could be referred to as dogs after treats is those who will do anything and everything in order to please their master and lord in the hope that one day he who must be obayed gives them a treat after the diseases/age/etc which he made kills them.

Here we see a great example of the worldling's frenzied hatred of religious obedience. Satan first declared, "I will not serve".




I prefer following Jesus, the Supreme Master and Model of perfect obedience in consent with the will and even in understanding and judgment. It's difficult, but I do strive for perfect obedience to the one who created me and has the highest authority over me.

I think obedience to God is the acid test of the quality of inner humility and of my love of God and even toward myself and my neighbor who is literally everyone else in the world.

You are correct though in the sense that obedience is a most indispensable condition for entrance into eternal bliss living in union with the God, my Master and Lord.
