It's not my fault!
I'm not to blame
It was that gypsy ass
them cheeks that lit this flame
It's not my fault
If in God's plan
He made the thiccness so much stronger than a MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN

Either because life is supposed to be impossible to even break even in and the odds are rigged against us, our logic and understanding of the the good word is limited and flawed, and / or the people who wrote it are giant hypocrites and didn't give a shit about consistency.

God

Christ

Angels

Saints & the like of God

Outcasts & the like of God

Man

Everything else

thats the hierarchy, I believe. I think the idea in Revelations is that being all-loving is not without its fair share of complexity. Theres supposed to be a paradigm shift or something where man rises above demonic entities, the weak inherit the earth, and all that. Im no expert on Christianity though.

or Islam, Judaism, etc

Lucifer is not "stronger" than humans. In the Christian hierarchy, God = Jesus and we are co-heirs with Jesus. Basically intended to become gods too.

Every individual person has within them the power to resist Satan. People choose to sin, and thus renounce God, which is why we are punished for it.

how do you encapsulate important moral truths and warnings and lessons and blueprints, when the target is homo sapiens and they're barely emerging from the barbarism of homo erectus? you codify it inside stories that can be passed as oral traditions.

this is around the time when fire started. no tech or books yet. just oral retelling.

so it had to be stories.

i do not agree with your underlying premise - just because they are taught as oral traditions at first, doesn't mean they're not true in the most important sense of the word "true"

time is wonky. i suspect these traditions have been told orally for basically the entire time homo sapiens has been capable of speech.

generally for myself and my own mind's curiosity, i'm 100% sure it's not the end after you're dead. so they're true in the most real sense. because what they talk about afterwards is legitimately the case as a general idea.

we've all heard by now about how we could be in a simulation, right? maybe it's simulations for many layers up. like Inception.

anything which can be conceived of, can exist. ;)

Never be 100% sure of anything until you experience for yourself. There are ways to experience death without actually dying ;)
Also be careful with that Pandora's box you got there, there's lots of really fucked up terrifying abominations that even a child could conceive of. What could the most complex mind that you can imagine itself imagine if it were real? If all your sensory data is transmitted through the nervous system and reconstructed in the mind, everything you see and experience around you is actually just a simulation constructed of what our ever evolving biology deems the most useful information to survive successfully. Beyond the limits of your perception are the borders of your real head as your thoughts/the simulation occur within the brain. Pay attention to that for a while , )

So we've gone from a fun Disney quote topic to ProudClod's blathering nonsense.

Delightful.

Ego death. Basically the whole INRI (metapsychosis) experience through the brain's own DMT (or with...help :) ):_(:)))..).
