The path to being human

When they make it personal, you know their subjectivity is reaching the end of its rope.

What does the truth have to do with my parents, my children, my preferences, my personal interests?
Nothing.

But for these morons…everything.
Their judgments are built around their preferences, so they assume this is so for everyone.

But my point is it never respected freedoms for all.

You know the United States was a country only European males were allowed to go to. Then only their wives of the men. Then to make communities, the governments in the colonies allowed women to go to them to increase the population.

Christianity was only allowed, the Freedom of religion was given to THOSE OF DIFFERENT CHRISTIAN SECTS, not to those of non-Abrahamic faiths. How Maryland was founded, the Quakers, pilgrims protestant - ALL of them were Christian they emphasised tolerance of different sects of Christianity because of the persecution of protestants in France and Ireland, and the former persecution of them in Spain and the UK. They were considered heretics. But no one dared to contend Christianity itself, just the different versions of it were tolerated.

Remember the Salem witch trials in history? That was going on all over the US. The US killed and forced conversions on the Native Americans, whose numbers dwindled so low they are only 1% today. Same thing happened in Canada. Especially Australia the aboriginals are more like .5%.

Same in New Zealand, but the Maori were fierce warriors so didn’t succumb to colonisation so much, but they did to Christianity.

Do you know they tied pregnant women to chairs? Did you know homosexuals were hung regularly? Capital punishment for homosexual orientation was just abolished not too long ago in American history. Gay marriage was only legalised in 201(3)?

Did you know about the forced reservations of Native Americans? Of Japanese during WWII in the US? Of capital punishment given to those deemed as spies in the 1950’s red scare? The banning of native American religious rituals and the Pow Wow dance?

Jim Crow laws only being abolished in the 1960’s?

Do you know about African American ‘Black’ wallstreet the European Americans burned down? The Chinatowns they burned down in Seattle and many other places because the Chinese immigrants were doing so well in business?

Did you know women couldn’t vote until the 1920’s? Did you know Africans were slaves until 185(6?)

You seem to be clueless on American history.

Well, if you want to be cynical I won’t stop you. We no longer have the public pretension of freedom for all. Better? :clown_face:

We (the United States) never did. That’s the whole point.

But no country can really be freedom for all. Even Iceland with only 1 murder or less a year doesn’t have ‘freedom’ for all. It just is like that when living in a functional society.

We no longer have the public energy to lie about freedom for all anymore? Perhaps, people are just being more honest perhaps than before. I think that is a good thing.

Functional is up for debate.

Functional for whom? It always comes down for those to live well others must suffer. Every damn historical epoch around the entire world, a dilemma that always goes unsolved for a variety of reasons. Always the same repeating pattern everywhere.

Oh no, we lie much more now, this entire post modern society drinks from deception like it’s a water fountain. :clown_face:

And why do you think your philosophy would solve the problem? Is it practical?

I am not sure the problems of this world can be solved entirely, alleviated maybe, solved entirely? No, I am not a miracle worker.

Practicality? That’s part of the whole problem I think. :clown_face:

Okay is your zodiac an Earth sign? Capricorn, Virgo, or Taurus? Any of your moon sign?

That’s part of the problem on why you struggle to be practical.

Capricorn and if we go with the Chinese zodiac, the year of the rabbit. But honestly, astrology is a parlor trick and nothing more. :clown_face:

Oh capricorn like prometheun75 that is an Earth sign so you don’t struggle too much thinking practical then.

In my experience astrology is not just tricks - if it was why was it used by many great civilisations for thousands of years?

It is not so. Astrology is the way the heathens / pagans determined people’s personalities and world events, in sync with the calendar. But the Abrahamic religions changed all that, and most of the world now DO NOT use astrology for that reason. They say their god is more powerful than the stars and the planets, so pray to him not do ‘divination’. The shamans and the Taoists, the other East Asian religions not overcame by Abrahamism know of its truth. I follow the Roman zodiacs but I hear the Indian one is very good for future predictions - they are pretty accurate it’s creepy. But see Christianity stops all that calling it sin and witchcraft - to keep people from actually using their insight and nature around them. Heathens / pagans emphasise the power of the natural forces and nature - they speak to us. Abrahamism wants to teach one God is above all that and to pay no attention to it.

Your choice, but it has showed it’s power in my life. And I have avoided a lot of bad people and settled conflicts involving myself just because I knew their zodiac - the zodiacs are a legend for human success. Use it. That’s what I think.

Why do you keep insisting you are Jewish.

You have a Catholic mother.

Did you have the formal conversion process to become Jewish.

Christianity is just another form of Judaism (Islam also), and my daddy was Jewish Orthodox who just got a Catholic shiksa impregnated out of wedlock who then bore the abandoned bastard child that I am today. My mummy pleaded for him to care for us, but we were unclean and impure gentiles who could never be accepted in the community, a natural sacrifice. Thus began my long vigorous life of exile upon birth. It was over for me before it even began, a living and breathing unaborted hybrid abomination. :clown_face:

Judaism is the only religion where you can be ahteist and Jewish.
Why?
Because it is a nihilistic dogma, that has attempted to invert the sequence from genes to memes, into from memes to genes.

This means that its identity is based on a mythology that begins with the collectivization of 12 tribes of Semitic slaves, using their slave spirituality of retribution to fabricate a phenotype, with the hope of developing it into the first meme-based genotype.

Since isolation is a crucial factor in the evolution of species and sub-species, how did the Jews accomplish this necessary isolation in the midst of a humanity that wanted to adopt their slave-ethics?
As the Muslims and Christians did.

They used many methods, such as ghetoization and resentment.
Spiritual elitism and being resented is a necessary aspect of their perseverance.
This myth that they were ‘chosen’ is really a concealed truth, if you know how to ‘read between the lines’ as Strauss taught his neo-con pupils.
Who chose whom?
No god…
God represents a collective, those whoa adopted the identity, marking themselves with a symbolic castration - circumcision.
Abraham’s one-god is Jewish collectivism.

What did they choose, that all nations rejected?
Nihilism.
This is the foundation of Abrahamism’s salvation myth.
Why did the Jews of all the world’s people choose nihilism to create a symbiosis?
Because they saw the seductive potentials…they saw how they could use words to seduce, exploit and manipulate other nations.

because across all cultures and races there will always be a majority that feels wronged by nature…threatened…Those who will be seduced by anything that offers them relief…even if it is a lie.

Mr. A had reddish-blonde hair and looked like a homeless Norwegian leathersmith last time I saw him. Like if he were in a room with 100 people he’d be in the five that look the least jewish.

I keep telling you guys when you talk to someone about being Jewish you gotta see if they mean ethnically (phenotypically) or culturally (religiously, e.g., a Japanese guy who became a practicing jew.) If you don’t straighten that out you’ll misunderstand each other.

One cannot be Jewish and atheist at the same time.

Those Jews who say so are lying. They are doing that nonsense because they don’t want to follow the Torah, but have access to benefits of being a Jew.

Just like people who say they are atheist, but really they are Christian or Muslim.

The Jews in Israel are Jews alright. Because the only reason why Israel is a nation is because they are Jews - without the religion they cannot justify their existence. So they are Jews.

Judaism is only a religion - not an ethnic group.

That’s straightened out.

That’s why there are Jews of all different ethnicities the world over, even in Israel there are Jews of all different ethnicities.
