The non-aggression principle is a negative statement. It doesn't say what's good, or how to get along better in society. There's a lot of good examples but none has a specific or clear authority over the others:
>Aristotle's "the good life" was a strong start >Tons of religions and faith based guidance systems >The golden rule treat others the way they want to be treated >Ayn Rand Objectivism (rational self-interest) >Maslow's positive psychology (hierarchy of needs and self-actualization)
All of those probably have something to contribute toward "not be a dickhead"

Yes, I'm religious, I'm a follower of Jesus Christ. I was raised by atheist parents and only recently converted. Christ is a pretty cool guy, eh overcomes death and hell and doesn't afraid of anything.
If you're attached to your body and the material world, sure. But that's kinda why he is smiling instead of screaming - He knows what we don't. I am only beginning to understand what he knows, and I've been in this track for a while now. A part of me absolutely needs to understand how a human can simple say 'Ah yes, this fire is burning me alive, isn't it?' And smile.
If you guys have logic for this, I would love to hear it. I still haven't found any. Logic is great, but we have to understand that logic, just like our perspective, is limited by - shocker here - our perspective
What is logical to one is not logical to another. To call illogics is to call opinion, unless we're discussing basic I/O or stuff like that. Even mathematics isn't 100% logistical, there are parts of math which entwine with spirit, as many many of our scientific forefathers observed

Pagan here, i considered myself Christian until i became more familiar with the contents of the bible. I refuse to follow a god that refers to my gentile birth as unclean and my personage as that of a lowly dog. Eg if he has no use for non jews then fuck em

Clearly, there are Demons in the world, so there must be A God that keeps them in check

I am only beginning to understand what he knows, and I've been in this track for a while now. A part of me absolutely needs to understand how a human can simple say 'Ah yes, this fire is burning me alive, isn't it?' And smile. People do illogical and irrational things all the time. That doesn't mean that they can't or shouldn't be logical.
>If you guys have logic for this, I would love to hear it. I still haven't found any. Logic is great, but we have to understand that logic, just like our perspective, is limited by - shocker here - our perspective There are lots of things we can't perceive. But that doesn't mean you can or should assume they're there. Read into agnosticism a little and understand what that word actually means. >What is logical to one is not logical to another. To call illogics is to call opinion, unless we're discussing basic I/O or stuff like that. Even mathematics isn't 100% logistical, there are parts of math which entwine with spirit, as many many of our scientific forefathers observed I'd love to see the mathematical formula for spirit. Can you write it down for me?

I need to read that damn book again. I hate being in fog with my own points.
