Great text from St Augustine in "the City of God", addressed at pagans and their degeneracy, but perfectly applies to democracy and the current world wheere the rule is some kind of pagan hedonism:
But the worshippers and admirers of these gods delight in imitating their scandalous iniquities, and are nowise concerned that the republic be less depraved and licentious. Only let it remain undefeated, they say, only let it flourish and abound in resources; let it be glorious by its victories, or still better, secure in peace; and what matters it to us? This is our concern, that every man be able to increase his wealth so as to supply his daily prodigalities, and so that the powerful may subject the weak for their own purposes. Let the poor court the rich for a living, and that under their protection they may enjoy a sluggish tranquillity; and let the rich abuse the poor as their dependants, to minister to their pride. Let the people applaud not those who protect their interests, but those who provide them with pleasure. Let no severe duty be commanded, no impurity forbidden. Let kings estimate their prosperity, not by the righteousness, but by the servility of their subjects. Let the provinces stand loyal to the kings, not as moral guides, but as lords of their possessions and purveyors of their pleasures; not with a hearty reverence, but a crooked and servile fear. Let the laws take cognizance rather of the injury done to another man's property, than of that done to one's own person. If a man be a nuisance to his neighbor, or injure his property, family, or person, let him be actionable; but in his own affairs let everyone with impunity do what he will in company with his own family, and with those who willingly join him.
Let there be a plentiful supply of public prostitutes for every one who wishes to use them, but specially for those who are too poor to keep one for their private use. Let there be erected houses of the largest and most ornate description: in these let there be provided the most sumptuous banquets, where every one who pleases may, by day or night, play, drink, vomit, dissipate. Let there be everywhere heard the rustling of dancers, the loud, immodest laughter of the theatre; let a succession of the most cruel and the most voluptuous pleasures maintain a perpetual excitement. If such happiness is distasteful to any, let him be branded as a public enemy; and if any attempt to modify or put an end to it let him be silenced, banished, put an end to. Let these be reckoned the true gods, who procure for the people this condition of things, and preserve it when once possessed. Let them be worshipped as they wish; let them demand whatever games they please, from or with their own worshippers; only let them secure that such felicity be not imperilled by foe, plague, or disaster of any kind. What sane man would compare a republic such as this, I will not say to the Roman empire, but to the palace of Sardanapalus, the ancient king who was so abandoned to pleasures, that he caused it to be inscribed on his tomb, that now that he was dead, he possessed only those things which he had swallowed and consumed by his appetites while alive? If these men had such a king as this, who, while self-indulgent, should lay no severe restraint on them, they would more enthusiastically consecrate to him a temple and a flamen than the ancient Romans did to Romulus.
A good read.
Mates please pray for me, I have a huge interview in 1 hr
Remember confidence is key
Lit I’m in
How am I a heathen
The word of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is righteous
And he says kill trump and abolish capitalism
Here we can see the enlightened followers of the fedora monster:
Ew what is that
That thing on the floor
It's a graphical representation of atheism
Described by St Augustine in the paragraph above
They seem pretty cool
But
They’re probs dirty capitalists too
Actually that is the kind of abomination that defends communism
Which manifests as both degeneracy and robbery
Yeah you know what the more I look at them the more I am sickened
Also blm sign
Ew
All those things go hand in hand
Gays bad?
Is your mind so perverse and degraded by hedonism that I have to tell you that sodomy is disgusting and terrible?
I’m not perverse
I don’t go around molesting children
Sdoomites do, which is why they are vavstly ovverrepresented in all cases of abuse
For example, when there are reports about sexual abuse from priests, the % of homosexual cases is, in the reports I have seen, 66%, 75%, 80%
While they are how much, 2% of the population?
That is an overrepresentation of around 3500%
Being perverse is not just molesting children
It is promiscuity, lust, lack of morals
Wait sodomy is like taking it in the mouth and behind right?
And obviouslñy those whose perversion shows in some matters (sodomites), also show it in other ones (abuse)
And that alone is bad?
Sodomy is what homosexuals indulge in
Even if consensual and in private?
