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

@Maksim Religion and philosophy are not mutually exclusive.

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

The kid should be ready to face that pain. @moira

Theology and Philosophy are mutually exclusive

Because it'll make it stronger.

@Maksim Not always.

*it*

You're confusing epistomology with emotions. They can know that what they did was wrong, without feeling an "emotional" connection with it

@Koninos not what i asked

how is a stoic going to help him deal

What did you ask?

Kh

@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.

Why did he date her anyway. Wait until marriage, and let me as the father pick which Aryan it's going to be

No

But if you want to talk about the displaying of emotions, I'll let you know that not showing your feelings, builds you a stronger image. And with a stronger image, you become more confident.

He dated her because he liked her and thought she was a good fit for him

Displaying it can hold you back from facing it.

How is this different from bottling it up

Not displaying it can actually help some people. It depends on the individual, however.
