this prevents any king or dictator from going too far
No, it's a synergy of state and church working together.
Neither has dominance over other. A theocracy would be church run.
by virtue of the commandments of christianity, a state cannot hold equal authority to the book.
there is no 'working together'
I believe in the interim we need a transitional period of neo absolutism, or third position dictatorship with a religious focus.
The existence of a state violates the commandments.
@Aero The state upholds moral law, but it has final say on other matters.
In Christianity all rulers are ultimately given authority from heaven. Even the bad ones. So the church must respect the state.
Likewise in a nation of converts the dictator cannot go too far, as the church would protest
Satanist propaganda.
this keeps stability, and we've seen how well it did in antiquity
This isn't satanism, it's orthodox Christianity of the original church.
The state upholds the law of heaven and God, but they also keep borders and manage other functions which the church cannot do.
What did Hitler do wrong?
is the bible literal fact, or stories meant to pass on lessons? @Vril-Gesellschaft
Nothing really, he did what he could with the resources and time he had.
@Aero it depends, hermeneutics isn't as simple as "literal or analogy"
sometimes it's literal, sometimes it's not, we generally defer to the churchfathers on this issue as an authority in canon, but we can also use personal reason of sorts
for example Christ often gives parables which give both literal and analogous lessons to morality
Not share tech with allies
Constantly invest into random superweapons
@Aero @Vril-Gesellschaft The Campbell perspective is that the Bible is a mix of Parable Moral Stories and oral history... For the Absolutely faithful, the oral history is 100% true and accurate.
superweapons was looking for a less disastrous ending to plutocracy than atom bombs
honestly, knowing this is what you think, we're just gonna have to agree to disagree. I can't really get behind pretty much anything you've said in the last half hour... except maybe what we were talking about in basic economics.
override the opinions of his generals on multiple occasions which directly lead to disaster
which I believe they had, as italian intelligence attests to prior to the Americans
thanks for sharing your prospective though!
That is a myth, most of the dumb decisions were done by the generals. Hitler actually had little operational control over the east planned out. The only thing he did was grab stalingrad, but this was actually strategically about oil/
@Aero Federist economic policy will eventually lead you to agree with the other stuff. It's irrefutably perfect as a system to remove modern plutocracy.
I am open to any better ideas, but tbh there are none so far as I've seen.
Ill admit aen has been fresh air around here
However its like ppl are never happy, they always wanna start shit. Like how the japanese left china.
the general overrides were in the cases of superweapons mostly
nazi gang gang 😎
i'll see what i can do in drumming up something better than oppressing people under the book and state...
Couldnt just build tigers, had to build king tigers
lol I don't want to "oppress" people
I want to limit people's ability to do degenerate things. Such as for example advocate for child tranny operations.
I just think that aen is right on paper but not in practice.
