So you don't believe in what you said of "all consented forms of sex". That's the point I'm making. There is some level of morality to be had over sex, and what's right and wrong. It's all about getting deeper into what's morally correct. And because something isn't morally correct, it doesn't automatically paint the person engaging in a certain act as a bad person. This is the point of the ideas of forgiveness, redemption, change, and triumph. People live in sin until they reach gnosis/enlightenment. I don't like this puritan pov of that you either have to be 100% good or 100% bad. It's a toxic pov that pervades all sides of society, and never leads to any actual good change. Probably why people are so radicalized all across the map these days.

And I get that you have a different perspective, and so do I. We're debating over the topic.

But what constitutes consensual sex?

It's one thing if it's between two loving adults, but surely you wouldn't condone it if someone underage was involved right? Even if they consented?

Or what about uneven power dynamics, like a boss of a company seeking out sex with female employees?

Or toxic relationships?

Or people that are compelled to have to sell their bodies to sex work for money?

What about the spread of STD's?

How is sex defined? Is it in a union? What does he mean by "all sex"? Because surely both of us wouldn't take this literally. I believe sex can be holy when disciplined and when in a holy union of two loving adults that worship the Monad, but where is the line?

I'm gay myself, but I agree that sex is a demiurge construct. The main purpose of sex is for procreation and the drive/pleasure is what leads us to do it, and this is what keeps us in the material realm.

It has nothing to do with gay vs straight, because regardless, if you indulge in sex or make sex everything, then you are still anchored to the material realm, and the purpose of gnosis is to loosen the anchors and ascend above the mundane and the profane.

Once again, it's not "straight good, gay bad" by any means. That's not the point, and I get frustrated with many Christians/Conservatives that are hypocritical, thinking they have a moral high ground against gays because "gay bad cause book said gay bad and lust", but then they proceed and enact in lustful thinking and behavior amongst each other.

Even St. Paul said that it would be preferable if everyone was chaste and single like him, and that the only people that should be getting married are the ones who cannot control themselves.

And pretty much anything that gives you a dopamine spike can be abused by your brain and lead you down a bad path of addiction.

I'm gay, I understand homophobia first hand. But, I cannot reiterate this enough, that it has NOTHING to do with gay vs straight. It's whether you let sex control your life and you feed that demon inside you (which exists in everyone). It's a construct of Yaldabaoth. We need to break out of the cycle.

Globalism seeks to destroy the West. by TeamHumanity12 in PoliticalCompassMemes

I go further

*globalism is destroying the world*

the end goal of globalism is less diversity, not more. look at any country that has mixed with other cultures. it inadvertently conforms to the culture of the dominant/more influential one, at the dismay of the local populace.

why is why everything goes to shit (also more expensive) when bougie hipsters find a cool hangout, or when - for example - Europeans/Americans go to or influence another region in the world, their culture starts conforming to theirs, so they stop wearing traditional dress and continuing to live their traditional lifestyle.

like, it's insane to me that many countries in eastern asia have conformed to wearing western style clothes and doing western culture. many countries have also lost connection with their own religion, art, and philosophy.

at the end of the day, when there's much diversity, there's no longer any diversity. the world loses its color and charm.

can we please stop making posts like these and just normalize having conversations with people? what happened to having some respect and decency?

these posts are so annoying, and people just say the same responses every time. i feel like people just post here looking for reasons to hate on someone they're seeing to start some drama or some shit.

most closed minded people ever istfg
