Spiritual Warfare

When it comes to Trump and the Capitol riots, I’m not sure it’s the same thing. The anger on the right after the election was intense, but the storming of the Capitol was an attempt to overthrow the election results, which is a very different kind of emotional response. While both sides can be emotional, the way those emotions play out is very different.

God knows what else.

So, no funeral for Spiritual Warfare, then? Alright, let’s give it a proper send-off anyway: “Here lies Spiritual Warfare, dearly beloved by, well, some of us. Gone but… well, actually, just gone. It fought the good fight, but in the end, maybe it was a little too ‘spiritual’ and not quite enough ‘warfare.’ Rest in pixels, brave game, may you find peace in the great GameStop in the sky, where every shelf is dust-free and every player has infinite lives.”

I believe it has to do with the fact that we tend to paint the left as more emotional than the right, and somehow, this has brainwashed the left into believing it. It becomes a pattern, and it starts to shape their reality in how they express themselves. Never underestimate the power of brainwashing; it’s a very powerful thing. And of course, a brainwashed person can’t see that they are brainwashed. It would take a miracle for them to realize it.

It seems like a lot of people on the left have ramped up their rhetoric, resorting to name-calling and accusations of superiority as a way to shut down debate. It’s almost as if they think being loud and aggressive automatically makes them right. Meanwhile, you’ve managed to make your points with respect and reason, while they just fling insults like it’s an Olympic sport. But hey, if throwing tantrums and labeling people is the new standard for being “enlightened,” then I guess we should all go back to preschool and start over.

What a great name😅 You should really start one. You explain things in such a detailed and developed way, something many spiritual people fail to do.

Wow, do you have an active YouTube channel?

Maybe not, my friend.

Libertarians are the ones who fact-check the least.

All of America is like that, but a Neanderthal would actually be smart enough not to believe in fairy tales and see them as salvation.

Exactly, because that’s when we become smarter. But many are afraid to be skeptical because they fear that the answers they find will destroy their beliefs and lifestyle.

@BlackPhil Are you going to answer the questions you’ve been asked? I know you’ve read them but chose to ignore them. If you’re so sure that abortion is murder, then it should be no problem for you to answer these questions. If you can’t, then don’t pretend to have all the knowledge about abortion or what life is. I really want to be convinced that I’m wrong, and you can help me with that. But as it stands now, I’m sticking to my opinions, which I’ve held since I started this thread. Stop avoiding it, my friend, and start answering the questions. I know you’re intelligent in many areas, but don’t degrade yourself with the abortion issue. The reason you think abortion is murder is because you believe in the Bible, but prove me wrong.

I’m from Sweden, where abortion is legal nationwide and support is readily available for those who need it. I’d say the general consensus here is that abortion is considered acceptable. According to a recent Ipsos survey, 87% of Swedes believe abortion should be legal, with 61% saying it should always be legal and another 26% supporting legality in most cases. Personally, I am fully pro-choice. In Sweden, abortion is allowed up to the 18th week of pregnancy, and I have no problem with that. I’ve never found any pro-life arguments particularly convincing. Most that I’ve come across are based on religious beliefs or personal feelings, and my response is always simple, then don’t have an abortion. Keeping abortion legal doesn’t force anyone to do anything, it simply lets people decide what’s right for them. My main issue with the pro-life stance is that it takes away a choice for people who don’t share the same beliefs, while keeping abortion legal allows everyone the freedom to choose. I think this could be an interesting discussion, especially given how much attention the issue is receiving in the United States right now. I’d be genuinely interested to hear from someone who believes that banning abortion is the right choice.

I’m glad you brought it up, though. It’s important to question everything we think we know.

Non-existence, by definition, can’t exist, so it can’t have any equivalence to existence. It’s like saying darkness is the same as light. It’s a concept, but not something that can actually be experienced or present in the same way. I think the distinctions are still meaningful in our reality.

Maybe, maybe not.

I hate God, and I will always stand by that.

To be honest, I thought this comment made a lot of sense, so I’m actually going to take this way of thinking as fact. The only thing is, I hate how weird and sometimes frustrating it gets when talking about these kinds of things. I mean, potential is actually existence, but in a way, it’s not. I didn’t think too deeply about it at first, but now I’m struggling to figure out if potential existence counts as actual existence or if it’s something that could become existence. The thing is, both are true, yet neither is! It’s so damn hard to talk about this without losing my mind, at least for me. Why is existence so challenging to understand? It seems like simple concepts at first, but the deeper you think about it, the more complicated it gets. Then it seems simpler again, but then it gets harder, and it never really stops! At least not for me.

I agree to some extent. We are very limited, but it feels like we must be able to use some tool, or whatever you want to call it, to understand things. Maybe I’m asking for too much.

I don’t understand what this has to do with my thread, but if your argument is that there are no limits, then everything is one. Is that what you’re trying to get at? It’s a valid point, but it needs to be developed further.

Good question. What remains is pain and hatred towards God.

I agree. It’s unfortunate that I can’t express myself more about this, as I don’t want to risk getting a warning, but at this point, enough with the circus.

if we’re in a timeless, eternal state, how could we even perceive time? Perception itself relies on change, and in a timeless reality, there wouldn’t be anything to mark the passage of time. It’s like saying non-existence exists. It contradicts itself. If everything is timeless, then the idea of experiencing time would be impossible, because there would be no before or after to.

Non-existence can’t really exist, so it can’t be infinite. If there’s truly nothing, there’s no way for it to be anything, let alone infinite.
