Just that they’re less likely because they can’t understand emotions
Psychopaths fit this criteria
Well, they can "reason themselves into it"
> From a Christian standpoint, you most likely won’t get into heaven if you can’t connect to people
@moira
I suppose that psychopaths make an exception, since, as ofvo said, they didn't choose to be psychotic, and most of them can't connect to people.
Some basic principles of Christianity are love, empathy and peace
Salvation is not reached thru love empathy and peace lol
So if they're more likely to go to hell instead of heaven, because of something that they didn't choose, then God is kind of a jerk, which I refuse to accept.
How do you reach salvation then
This sounds like /religion/
By becoming born again
Which is thru a baptism, and repentance
But that's besides the point, I don't see how any of this is relevant to your misunderstanding of stoicism
Sometimes they are, sometimes they're not.
When are they mutually exclussive?
How can a psychopath repent for sins they dont even know are wrong
And yeah that was drawn offtopic
phows a stoic going to respond to their kid if he suffers a breakup
or their pets death
Theology and Philosophy are mutually exclusive
Because it'll make it stronger.
*it*
You're confusing epistomology with emotions. They can know that what they did was wrong, without feeling an "emotional" connection with it
how is a stoic going to help him deal
What did you ask?

@Sentient23 That’s off topic from the original discussion
Well, through facing the pain.
Wow
Very helpful to an undeveloped teen going through his first heavy emotional blow
Dear, you either face the pain or let the pain consume you.
Not really
The way the teen will face the pain is irrelevant to the current topic, but I must ask, what do you suggest the parent does?
you can face the pain while still displaying it
Displaying it is not necessary.
and release of emotion also helps
Yeah okay, these are ways to face the pain, but again you're assuming that stoicism is about bottling up the pain.
