the christian god has been revealed many times but one of the earliest was the myth of er
ofc there are some differences in the story presented by er and the actual god but thats because of the nature of the observer
**RELIGION QOTD**
**Is it better to slay those corrupted by evil or to redeem them, if possible?**
<@&588707615643795456>
slay it
depends on the circustance
some evil can't be redeemed.
Redeem
''reedeming it'' is what got us where we are
Convert
convert to judaism
@OrthoGoat baseed and true
Evil is evil
If all the evil would be slayed, we would all be dead
Was Paul not redeemed?
We all are alive because God is too merciful to destroy all the evil at once
illogical
@OrthoGoat If we did that all the time, Saint Augustine and St Paul would have died evil
ok
Saint Augustine was not destructively evil but sexually immoral, with several mistresses but overcame it to become one of the most well known saints to ever live
Yes
we are now in a position where we can not only afford to destroy evil but must destroy it
since evil is at an advantage
Evil can't be redeemed, evil is the objective opposite of good. All creation is good but is corrupted by evil though, therefore redemption is the optimal answer if you rephrase your question so it makes sense
redeeming evil is a virtue for when we are in times of great prosperity and morality
@OrthoGoat Lets say civilization collapsed
and a nationalist of your persuasion was helping us but did terrible things to do it
in that case no
but is it really evil if it ultimately ends evil?
@OrthoGoat Like, I dunno, after decades of fighting, a broken nationalist decides that the only solution is war crimes to end it
Firebombing of the last enclaves of undesirables
is it better to kill him
or stop him?
war crimes
like jewish UN definition?
@OrthoGoat Perhaps
cringe
but I guess a better way to say it, is doing things you would believe are absolutely evil to achieve victory
