Pride And Prejudice. The Segregated existence of man.

Equality is a fleeting dream of fancy. A impossibility in actuality beyond man’s hopeless dreams and fantasies.

When the law can no longer coerce others to be equal in each other eyes, through the prejudice of ethical or moral laws it forcibly makes people see each other as equal through arms by that of extreme prejudice through violence and death.

We still have racism, bigotry, sexism, individual & collective prejudice, sacrifice of lives and those without power slaughtered by those who do have power.

We construct laws outlawing racism, sexism, and public prejudice yet ironically bigotry or things like classism which creates whole new generations of slaves is tolerated for the economical market which is then called the natural progress of things by self proclaiming hypocrites who pronounce to condemn such acts all the while after their preaching they fully empower such acts in lively support.

Dare I say it man is naturally inclined in his prejudice. Prejudice will never cease.

You may have your activists, moralists, priests, politicians, humanists and philanthropists who pronounce to be against prejudice but like hypocrites my how quick they are to be in prejudice themselves against the very things opposite of their own ideologies.

Even your humanitarians, philanthropists, moralists and holy men are not exempted from prejudice.

Man is a creature of prejudice. Civilization is a existence of anthrocentric prejudice. Prejudice is eternally bound.

Overcoming prejudice with the myth of morality is a fleeting dream. Nothing more. It will never be nothing else but that which is a dream.

Why must we overcome anything? Behold man in his segregation. Behold man the greatest of all segregators.

Behold civilization the vastest of segregations.

Everyone is born equal, but some are more equal than others?

3

Noone is entirely equal. Individiualism expresses difference. From difference arises prejudice.

4

So we all agree that this world is full of segregation and prejudice that will never change?

Excellent. Now if we can only destroy the mythic god that asserts itself as morality. (Time doesn’t work fast enough.)

Of course nobody is equal, it’s a fact we have to accept and stop living in an illusion. Some are born mentally strong and some physical, some are short some are tall, we are not given the same advantage’s from nature. But I think that all are born with the same rights. Prejudices only exist because people are afraid of the things the don’t understand, but the world is learning. Just look at the American election, it is very likely that the next president of the USA will be black or a woman. For just 10 years ago nobody would belief that idea that a black or a woman could rule the USA.

I know that you are a nihilist but I don’t understand why you are so keen to the idea that god is dead… religion have helped many dealing with there problems. I consider my self as an existentialist, can you explain nihilism to me in a way so I can understand, not just the nihilistic view on life but also why? Can you help me understand…

Let’s talk about good prejudice and bad prejudice.

It’s like, water is good, if you drink it, but if you try to breath it in, you’ll choke on it.
So, how wise a person deals with the water, determines whether or not it’s good or bad for his life.

In this way, what we view as inferior and what we view as superior, depending on proper wisdom and skill, can be either a good or a bad way of thinking.

In every case, no absolute bad exists, but, a lack of wisdom leads to anything being relatively misapplied and stupidly done.

Therefor, human unwisdom and human foolishness are the issue which turns the prejudice bad, by making it dumb and moronic. But, the root problem is human foolishness, not human prejudice.

That depends on what you would define as “dealing with problems”.
For example, if your hand was sore, then someone either gave you a pain killer, or cut your hand off, etc. You would no longer feel the problem in your hand, but would that be “dealing with your problems”?

I’ve not seen religions facing off with the corruptions and untruths of government. I’ve seen them give hope and diversion, but no solution. Them giving hope in alternatives, shifting the focus to personal morality, away from the true causes of the problems in the world, a complex way to syphin the little remaining powers of the civilian down into their separated cults.

Despite this, the sheep still do love their shepards, and their fences, their cages, their farms. The people themselves feel that the religion is good and necissary, therefor, democratically, religion is good… But, only democratically…

When I said helped dealing with problems I mend for example a junkie that who came out of rehab. She didn’t think she could stay clean so she had Jesus tattooed on her arms so every time she needed a fix she saw Jesus and got the will to drop it and stay clean. Some people just need to believe that somebody or something is watching and helping us. I don’t like those who use the bible to control others. That is not religion… that is just men who have been corrupted by power. I don’t believe that religion can help cure physical illnesses but I might give people the hope and strength they need, that’s what I mend with helped dealing with problems.

Religion have been used for both good and bad. Of course what’s good for some may be bad for others. :slight_smile:

Perceptions can be funny animals

12

I think Philihp’s response was perfect. That sums up the whole thing.
While the junkie out of rehab got strength from jesus, allot of other people found jesus to be a secretly poisonous fantasm.

13

What rights? Where do these rights come from? Why should I ackowledge these rights? Why should I care?

Prejudice is a consequence of our individuality and our biological self preservative measures.

Learning what?

Who the hell cares? Why should I care? Why should anyone care? Why is all of this imperative?

What is imperative?

God is a phantasm that breathed its last dying breath in the early 19th century with the fall of the church’s institutional power.

Upon when the church dies completely I will smile upon its rotten corpse.

And I say that not just for Christianity. I say that for all religions.

Presently I consider myself a existential nihilistic realist.

I will only say that my nihilism revolves around freedom, individuality, rebellion,instinct, nature and impulse.

15

I just look at the cosmos as one consisting of aimless relativity. Anything goes. Perpetual chaos.

Life in all directions. Not some narrow direction defined by a hysterical and fanatical mob mentality.

16

I look at god and religion as man’s naivety.

Sometimes people buy into this naive delusional construction and benefit from it through mob like fanaticism.

Other people look at it in rejecting god and religion altogether choosing to embrace life for what it is. I choose the later.

humans cannot be equal, everyone is different
difference cannot be equal so therefore there is no such thing as equality.
a perfect utopia cannot be regarded as perfect, this is because oppinions are diffrent.
peoples oppinions on the perfect utopia are diffrent
therfore
the perfect utopia of equality can not exist to everyone only to the majority.

And where it is taught differently - there the best is lacking.”

 is there not been a growth of attitude though ? multi-cultural

In multiculturalism we segragate cultures away from conflict and violence which we attribute to moral sins.

Even in multicultural existences poverty and classism still exists thus segragation still triumphs.
