        Oh yeah, we’re Ture-posting in here

        This is also about the liberal perception of violence and how it relates to political change

        “ The liberal is so preoccupied with stopping confrontation that he usually finds himself defending and calling for law and order, the law and order of the oppressor. Confrontation would disrupt the smooth functioning of the society and so the politics of the liberal leads him into a position where he finds himself politically aligned with the oppressor rather than with the oppressed.”

          I had a discussion with a liberal the other day; I was discussing how statements in media can be misleading and used BLM as an example. I pointed out that the media constantly talks about BLM violence but that BLM protests were over 97% peaceful; his response?

          "Ah so there was still violence?"

          I'm tired of trying to reach these people.

          Yeah Satan gets a bad rap. All he ever really did was act as the prosecutor for Job's case and offer Jesus a real estate deal.

            I've joked about it before, but what if the Christian God was satan disguising himself as a creator-God? Therefore encouraging people to be as evil as they want because the only real sin is being abnormal. I'm pretty sure that if the "true" Christian God and the devil both showed up in every town square, God preached good and the Devil preached doing evil, Fox News will be yelling about the left trying to destroy "the core satanic values of our country" with a straight face.

            Is this what Gnosis is?

                And if the antichrist is supposed to deceive people into thinking he's benevolent...

                I HATE THE ANTICHRIST! :troll: I HATE THE ANTICHRIST! :troll:

              If you look at the history of human mythology there is arguably some basis for this

              Originally the Judeo Christian Islamic monotheistic god was the storm god of a larger pantheon before displacing the rest of the gods to become the only one

              Beyond that the history of storm gods themselves is deeply tied to the mythology of dragons as almost all of them are dragon slayers in their mythology going back to Marduk

              The history of dragon mythology is also important here, the oldest myths of dragons who were called dragons come from Asia specifically China and in those myths the dragons were benevolent and empathetic beings who care deeply for humanity and wished to alleviate human suffering by ending droughts and famines so that the people could eat

              When the myths of dragons moved from east to west something happened and the script was flipped, the dragons were now cast as the villains of the story first hoarding water then treasure and women

              Arguably the original dragon myth came from African mythology though the Rainbow Serpent wasn't called a dragon she shares many characteristics with the dragons of Chinese mythology

              In the myth the Rainbow Serpent created the whole world, the oceans were made from her own blood that she freely spilled, the rivers and other bodies of drinkable water from her breast milk, then she created all life on this planet all the plants and animals including humans

              Finally she gave humanity a task, to care for all life on this planet and preserve the delicate balance of nature and before she left she gave us a warning, that if we were to fail in this task she would return not as a creator but as a destroyer and then she would recreate the Earth but this time without humans

              What I'm saying is that much of the bullshit Jordan Peterson may actually have some basis in reality but that he's picked the wrong side, the side of evil storm gods

                "Henotheism" is the term I've seen used there, where you have what is basically a monotheistic religion existing with a mythos that is still pantheistic.
