@lizzie @apophis @patchuun this is such a truth nuke

@apophis @lizzie @patchuun this is fucked up, God is the most loving being. this is why mystics/Buddhas/yogis look on all with equal compassion and see equal inner divinity, seeing themselves in everyone and everyone in themselves and sharing their suffering in perfect empathy.

@lizzie @patchuun I think hell is a real physical place of great suffering some people who live lives very far from goodness go to, a place where the presence of God is much harder to feel than earth-like planes. I believe in a countably infinite multitude of varied existences and universes some better and some worse, where we are (re)born into account of our karma. however I think all achieve liberation eventually through karma yoga, jnana yoga, bhakti yoga or a meditation discipline like raja/laya/etc yoga. (or some combination of them) all the illumined mystics of the earth pretty much agree: the ultimate goal is union of the soul with God, and the easiest way to do this is through pure selfless love. thus all become one in Him, no one is left behind to suffer forever.

@lizzie I like luke-acts

@scathach kind of the height of christian mysticism and saintly virtue imo

@lizzie I knew you'd like them cause love plays such a role in the johannine literature

@scathach the catholic counter-reformation produced much better fruit, like the Discalced Carmelites

@lizzie do you think the writings of paul are divinely inspired? I prefer first peter and james myself, and the Johannine epistles (or letters?). I guess its that Jew in me.

@lizzie what do you think of jesus casting the demons into the swine? do you think it was an act of compassion for the demons even though it killed the pigs? this part of the gospels bothered me more than any other, except of course "his blood be upon us and upon our children" lol

@feld saltines and oyster crackers
