And a bunch of alright people
lol
this guy has just amazing calm and perspective
he doesn't fall for the tug of any worldly desire
whether apparently good or bad
not left, nor right
@devolved SOLID
HE ADDRESSES THE HIPPIE TYPE OF HINDU HOWEVER
THE ADVAITIC ARE GENERALLY THOSE COMING FROM EURO-PAGANISM
WHO REJECT CHRISTIANITY FOR THE SAME REASON HE NOTES IN THE ARTICLE:
IT IS FOREIGN
AND WE CAN NEVER CHANGE THAT
THIS IS WHY A TRANSITION PLAN INVOLVES ACCEPTING CHRISTIANITY
AND THEN BRINGING IN EUROPAGAN ELEMENTS GRADUALLY
"POSITIVE CHRISTIANITY" AS DER FUEHRER ONCE SAID
ACCEPT AND MODIFY
That only has to be done in a movement based on popularity
just like the nazis needed to appeal to the masses to win democratically, by pretending to be Christian
You can't modify Christianity to make it more pagan dawg. Christianity sits on top of a sensibility that is predicated on salvation (from the world and the human condition) through austerity and practice. It's not at all compatible.
Even if he could, it wouldn't actually be Christian
And the real texts would always be a thorn in his side
It's just a totally different sensibility. Common world versus like transcendent shit
These people literally built dwelling places for gods and invited them to eat and shit
The world isn't sinful to pagans
Exactly
The whole notion of the universe as a community which men and gods both belong is - rightfully from the salvation/transcendent perspective - satanic.
Not to Mormons

@༺པརབྱར།བསངཇ༻ I AM NOT SURE THE TWO ARE INCOMPATIBLE
REMEMBER THAT 90%+ OF CHRISTIANITY IS LIFTED FROM THE GREEKS
THE POINT IS TO AVOID HUBRIS AND ACT IN ACCORD WITH ETERNAL NATURAL ORDER
THE DIVINE
TO PAGANS, THE WORLD AS A WHOLE IS NOT SINFUL, BUT CERTAIN ACTS WITHIN IT ARE ILLOGICAL BECAUSE THEY END IN RESULTS THAT OFFEND THE ORDER
THIS IS BETTER THAN THE PERSONAL-ONLY VIEW OF MASS RELIGION
BUT
CHRISTIANITY REPLACED PAGANISM FOR A REASON
THERE WAS THE HOPE THAT IT WOULD KEEP THE PROLES IN LINE
In other words, it was adopted by rulers as a political tool
