@technicallydifficult @lizzie I think every being is very important, we are all ensouled by God

@sapphire @shibao @Owl when youre wrong and I'm winning at life I won't gloat as you would to me

@scathach @shibao thats just not true, genetic studies on Jews find a common Levantine paternal origin that predates the diaspora. this has always been the jewish understanding of ourselves as well. youre a fool if you think any jews are indigenous to central Europe, and they certainly werent treated that way. its a totally different ethnicity.

@sapphire @shibao @Owl if you want me dead so bad kill me yourself. you won't succeed, I'm sure of it.

@sapphire @shibao @Owl youre the insufferable faggot here bud

@eris an ice cop is significantly worse than a regular cop

@technicallydifficult @lizzie that church is really cool

@shibao youre right that Israels conduct makes chinas look mild, but Jews are still indigenous to Palestine, they should just share the land with others. and there are more "ethnostates" by your definition than you know, states with laws of return, official language, official religion, etc. and don't forget israel has armenians, druze, samaritans, and other ethnic groups, not just arabs who feel (are) disenfranchised.

@technicallydifficult @lizzie the world is beautiful and good (dat Jew in me), unfortunately in early kali yuga humans are neutral to bad. and the world can't come close to capturing how awesome God is, even the highest paradises can't, only the kingdom of heaven within us (highest samadhi) kinda can, and even then Ishvara is still transcendent above the Atman so even yogis can't really know Him (at least until they die in mahasamadhi).

@shibao most states are ethnostates, with a majority culture, religion, and ethnic group that dominates. its wrong to single out one of them. also I think no one should have nukes.

@shibao @awl they should give up on Tibet too

@shibao China would not be fine lol and there wasnt peace in the world before the state of Israel existed there were two world wars. but maybe I just say this cause I'm jewish and you say that cause youre chinese... hmmmm...

@technicallydifficult @lizzie I think everyone should just decide on a direction that day and do it and mix things up every so often. God is everywhere, facing the same place all the time doesnt fully capture His glory.

@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
