The American empire and by extension the Israeli colony is going broke and nearing the end. Regardless of day to day actions no matter how unfortunate they are for ordinary civilians. Isn't the mighty Great Britain now being run by Indians and Blacks with their natives miserable? Same thing will happen to USA/zionists

Since you brought it up How many unhappy citizens, genocides, atomic bombs has democracy created vs sharia law?

Genetics is the new karma

Im pretty consistent in what I am saying. People not being allowed to eat pork is not oppressive. Oppressive is something much worse

Why separate state from religion? Does that mean the people who run the government are non believers and the people being run are believers? Prophets are the exact opposite of religion. Watch a politician on tv versus the words of a prophet. They are not the same. But ya that's what I am telling you your politicians hijacked it for bad control and then abandoned it when it was more profitable But a good follower of the Bible would follow it. Not find a new teaching like spiral dynamics which rejects the Bible. So no wonder it didnt work for you guys if you don't follow it correctly I think this is overcomplicating it. It's a book written by extremely wise humans that were ahead of their times and still are to a degree. To quench humans most sought after question. In a way where they can all join in community. That will guide them through hardships of life. Rarely people speaking against religion mention that it's a monopoly. They usually use other arguments which tells me it's just something they want to get away from just because. I can see how it can be a monopoly but theres plenty of cultures that have christians and muslims living side by side with understanding and friendship. It is common sense to say this is my religion but others are fine too. Common sense or lack of common sense is everywhere so of course some religious people will fall for saying this is my religion and others are false But aren't political laws telling you what to do? You trust a sneaky politician who is 1,000 lifetimes away from enlightenment to tell you what is right and wrong? How many secret government programs and hidden classified files prove that you should never trust man made laws? How often are religions wrong and how badly are they wrong. If you figure out your religion lied about not eating pork it's not a big deal you can just start to eat it there shouldn't be much trauma

What's the difference between atheist and secular? Where in the Bible does it say that the people following it for thousands of years was supposed to outgrow it by development? Or did the Europeans just make that part up? Says western texts like spiral dynamics? Of course you will use a western text rather than a middle eastern text. If you read their Quran it says they are on the right track of development. What do you think about bombs being dropped on them and in a war torn country based on survival they still hold true to their religion even if their government has fallen and doesn't require it? Ya because Christianity in the West is notorious for oppressing its people and other people around the world. They use religion as a form of bondage and to gain more power. Control can be good or bad depending on it's intentions and how it's used

If you live 100 years then even a 5 year break is not gonna hurt you. Just make up for it later on So that's what you meant by "normal" life. Ya its different for you then Some places are legal as far as I know but that would require travel
-
There are literally billions of people in religion. Anyone saying that these people are just brainwashed suckers with no hope and embarrassing them will never lead anyone to unity. You are better off understanding their religion and combining that with enlightenment so their path can serve both them and you

The West has always used religion to oppress its people and to oppress other people. The popes who used to be basically the government used to only let certain classes of people read and then they preached the Bible in the way they wanted it to be interpreted. When the west would colonize people they would say that god is telling them that they should conquer like manifest destiny. Then they would show images of their prophet Jesus who looked white just like them and say that they were gods among humans. Why do you think the buddhists stayed buddhist, the muslims stayed muslim, but the Christians became atheist?
-
I want the people to be under control. It would be dangerous to let them run wild Holy scriptures are still among some of the best texts you can read even after you are enlightened. And they are the best for people who don't want to be enlightened

Since when is JP a genius? Dude is beyond lost. I met a few geniuses in my life and they were far from crazy. They were not normal but they were sane

I don't understand what is in the way of you doing them so often...unless it's fear? They are so fun and rewarding it's hard to stop oneself from doing it Up to you if you want the problem of doing too much of them or problem of doing too little of them. It's hard to do the exact amount of them
-
@Basman There is no point in debating religion. You either see the value in it or you think it's a hindrance Now for the modern argument. Who says that we are modern? Who says that if we are modern that everything behind us was illogical and should be thrown out?
-
That's sort of the point

If not eating pork is obeying and worshipping your god then by extension obeying and worshipping your god will make you happy. Any human will happy when they please their parents or anything they perceive higher than them. Maybe in the future there will be science to prove that eating pork is unhealthy. But diet is a tough one because even online you can see everything from fruitatarian to carnivore and everyone swears by their diet with proof and claims. Diet may be one of those endless debates. Maybe it was a regional thing where pigs from that region were unhealthy. Kind of like how the USA has worse food than say Europe so you would tell someone in USA to stay away from supermarkets and go to organic farms but in Europe you wouldn't give that same advice. Other things like having pre marital sex have definitely been proven by science and societal trends to be unskilled ways of doing things (STDs, abortions, single mothers, heartbreak, abuse, drama, waste of time, unsatisfactory) so religions are correct about that By this logic everything is indoctrinated to us from birth. Even wearing clothes. So if religion is good then you would be happy to not have missed out on that school of indoctrination. If it's bad then it would have been a crutch that you want to escape from. Most people are happy with their religions and the ones that aren't will escape but there have always been people escaping just now it's less hassle if you do escape. I don't think people want to leave because there is no replacement not because it's a matter of life and death. Religious people don't really feel a need to question everything in their religion and if they do the religion will just tell them to trust that god has higher wisdom than you and they do trust so there isn't any tug of war

Maybe. I haven't personally experienced that too much but if that's all you have ever experienced then I see where you would be coming from. For me most times they could just "judge" in a loving way without tearing themselves or anyone else down and simply finding the error and putting them back on the right track knowing that part of being a human is making mistakes Why is comforming bad if we are social tribal creatures that desperately want community and without it we start to have psychological issues. The only issue is if you are conforming to something wrong. I don't see why anyone would judge you for eating pork or having sex before marriage if you aren't religious yourself. But if you say you are religious but then don't follow the religion you are opening yourself to criticism

Weren't most of the dictators of the past century who caused the biggest genocides ever atheist or had a distaste for religion? -

Him and Iman Gadzhi both confuse me. I hate the way they do marketing but sometimes they give good advice and show me parts of life that I never knew existed. People like that are so polished and photoshopped I never know what is real or not

Tai Lopez Notes for Chp: 34 “About life”: Suffering the 10-15 Bill Gates Dark years "Imagination: You want something that appeals to the 5 senses. sound, sight, touch, smell, and taste. In advertising you need to work towards the 5 senses. What you need to be different from the crowd. Alot of stimulus, out of that stimulus are messages. Ideas are imposed on you, for example clothing you wear influenced by what you saw in the media. You need to be different by investing your time and effort in what they call the dark years. Bill gates at 12 started building computers. From 20-30 is unheard of, he locked himself in an office and never took off days to build his company. The 10 dark years Aristotle taught Alexander the Great to learn how to live. You are not equiped to learn how to live parents aren’t taught to teach their kids to live. Michael Jordan a basketball player, when he was in UNC no one expected him to become the most famous basketball player. 10-15 years of commitment in order to bring about his glory days. The Amish “A fence that is built fast, falls down fast. Building a fence slow and steady makes a good fence.” Friendships cultivated through the 10 dark years can be rekindled and used to build strong bonds. Key to a good marriage: good business and investor partners and good marriages is the same. Low expectation. You may feel discomfort and alittle pain but they last based on the mutual understanding that everything isn’t perfect. High life long expectations. Having a child and having to take care of him as he grows up and investing him him pays off in the end when he is able to take care of you when you’re in your senior years. Unrestricted growth is equal to cancer. You don’t want to boom and bust. Stories about fame and losing it all shortly after. Realistic time frame. Restrict how much tv or youtube. Look at autobiographies and read stories about them. Social media bombards us with stories of success, never the 15 dark ages. Everyone wants to see the rewards, the harvest and gains it makes for good television. We need a reality check, everything takes work and time to succeed. Suffer and fight those 10-15 years and you will prosper."

I don't think Islam teaches to judge harshly. I think most "sins" you actually have to cover up for the other person and help them hide it from others. If you have been judged maybe it's just Muslims speaking out of place

Fair enough

Would you ever have a video or teaching on how to become a billionaire? Without being corrupted of course I think there is enough info and ease to having a few million and there is little corruption in that As time goes on my missions need more and more funds but as I get older I have less energy or material care even so I wonder if there is a better more efficient way to get access to that much money. I can do the missions with less money but it's way less effective
