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 would do the same

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

It was never good for the soul

I THINK IT IS A MIXED BAG

AGAIN, IT IS MOSTLY PAGAN

ITS REAL PROBLEM IS THAT IT IS FOREIGN
