Here we can see a fundamental clash of worldviews.

It is typical for pagan thinkers to blame ignorance for man's bad condition, whereas the Bible declares that the real problem is disobedience, against the natural law revealed in the structure of the universe and even starker disobedience to the written revelation of God Allmighty seen in the Bible.

Pagans think that man is essentially good, that if he were only educated and trained in a proper manner he would cease to do evil. This is the ideological basis of the entire Enlightenment project.

Christianity teaches that fallen man is essentially evil, and can well know what is right and wrong and still do wrong.

Nothing impresses fallen man more than flattering him like this and implying that godhood is within his grasp, that he should only realize the potential for goodness (God-ness) hidden in him.

This is Gnosticism, and as Eric Voegelin has pointed out, Gnosticism fuels all modern totalitarian ideologies.


This is Manichaeanism.
No it isn't. The sin has corrupted us as extensively as possible (none of our faculties, physical of spiritual, has been spared from it), but we are not all as intensively evil as we could be, that is, realizing the potential for evil lurking in us all.

No it isn't. The sin has corrupted us as extensively as possible (none of our faculties, physical of spiritual, has been spared from it), but we are not all as intensively evil as we could be, that is, realizing the potential for evil lurking in us all.Having a propensity for evil is not the same thing as being essentially evil, which was your claim.

But even they state in Genesis that man is made in the "image and likeness of God."

[Petr]

But even they state in Genesis that man is made in the "image and likeness of God."
Before the Fall, that is.

Blaise Pascal said most truly that only Christianity can explain man's current condition, this schizophrenic mixture of greatness and lowliness, benevolence and viciousness - our greatness comes from the fact of us being images of God, our filthiness from of the fact of our Fall and original sin.

It all makes sense only when taken together, as a one package.


Petr

[Basil Fawlty]

Before the Fall, that is.What fall? This is an element of Jewish mythology. There is no fall because man of his nature is already predisposed to confusing the appearances with the essences, that is, taking the sensible as the fully real.

Nietzsche liked to mock this scapegoating tendency of philosophers to blame those tricksy "appearances" for ruining everything:


"You ask me which of the philosophers' traits are most characteristic? For example, their lack of historical sense, their hatred of the very idea of becoming, their Egypticism. They think that they show their respect for a subject when they dehistoricize it sub specie aeternitas — when they turn it into a mummy. Everything that philosophers handled over the past thousands of years turned into concept mummies; nothing real escaped their grasp alive. Whenever these venerable concept idolators revere something, they kill it and stuff it; they suck the life out of everything they worship. Death, change, old age, as well as procreation and growth, are to their minds objections — even refutations. Whatever has being does not become; whatever becomes does not have being. Now they all believe, desperately even, in what has being. But since they never grasp it, they seek for reasons why it is kept from them. "There must be mere appearance, there must be some deception which prevents us from perceiving that which has being: where is the deceiver?"

"We have found him," they cry jubilantly; "it is the senses! These senses, so immoral in other ways too, deceive us concerning the true world. Moral: let us free ourselves from the deception of the senses, from becoming, from history, from lies; history is nothing but faith in the senses, faith in lies. Moral: let us say No to all who have faith in the senses, to all the rest of mankind; they are all 'mob.' Let us be philosophers! Let us be mummies! Let us represent monotono-theism by adopting the manner of a gravedigger! And above all, away with the body, this wretched idée fixe of the senses, disfigured by all the fallacies of logic, refuted, even impossible, although it is impudent enough to behave as if it were real!"

Exactly how?


Petr

[Basil Fawlty]

Nietzsche liked to mock this scapegoating tendency of philosophers to blame those tricksy "appearances" for ruining everythingNietzsche's polemics, so what?
Exactly how?One example. A man may have a reputation (appearance) for being just but may in fact be a throughgoing rogue (essence). To confuse the appearance with the essence, i.e. to collapse the former into the latter is the cause of much evil. Similarly, some opinion about the good or the just may be subscribed to merely because this is how it appears to be - "common sense" - but this is no guarantee that it is the truth of the matter. Believing that something is the good when in fact it is can only result in evil. Aquinas incorporates this Greek legacy into his theory of motivation - the will can only move towards the good but it is the intellect that supplies it with the knowledge of the good, the object of willing must appear to be good. This is not enough; the object must really be good. The source of evil then is a deception at the level of intellect. This is why in Christianity the devil is known as the father of lies.

Ping!

Are you going to answer this one, Fade? :)

My own secular worldview is a Bible-dominated mixture of conservatism and libertarianism (the Christian "law of liberty"), so I don't need to propound a 100 %-statist system as a necessary condition to maintain morality.

Now, Plato was not exactly wrong with his censorious impulses - he was only being a consistent statist who realized that in a totalitarian collective, the very concept of individual judgment can be very dangerous...

...and it seems that certain successful statist agreed with him on this:

“There is nothing more difficult to carry out, nor more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to handle, that to institute a new order of things”
Niccolo Machiavelli

[Helios Panoptes]

Such is not the course adopted by tyranny in democratic republics; there the body is left free, and the soul is enslaved. The master no longer says: "You shall think as I do or you shall die"; but he says: "You are free to think differently from me and to retain your life, your property, and all that you possess; but you are henceforth a stranger among your people. You may retain your civil rights, but they will be useless to you, for you will never be chosen by your fellow citizens if you solicit their votes; and they will affect to scorn you if you ask for their esteem. You will remain among men, but you will be deprived of the rights of mankind. Your fellow creatures will shun you like an impure being; and even those who believe in your innocence will abandon you, lest they should be shunned in their turn. Go in peace! I have given you your life, but it is an existence worse than death."

All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream at night, in the dusky recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity. But the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams, with open eyes, to make it possible.

Pagans think that man is essentially good, that if he were only educated and trained in a proper manner he would cease to do evil. This is the ideological basis of the entire Enlightenment project.

This is why pagans blame ignorance, not "good" or "evil," for human failings. Nonetheless, they believe such things are inborn: proof is our caste system which predates Christianity.

Christianity CAN work if approached in a certain way; as normally approached, it has been a disaster for Europe.

#8 [I]The Irish Nation is the whole people, of every class, creed, and outlook. We recognise no distinction. It will be our aim to weld all our people nationally together who have hitherto been divided in political and social and economic outlook…Whatever form of free government we had, it would be the Government of the Irish Nation. All the other elements, old Unionists, Home Rulers, Devolutionists, would have to be allowed freedom and self- expression. The only way to build the nation solid and Irish is to effect these elements in a friendly national way---by attraction, not by compulsion, making them feel themselves welcomed into the Irish Nation, in which they can join and become absorbed, as long ago the Geraldines and the de Burgos became absorbed…With all their natural intelligence, the horizon of many of our people has become bounded by the daily newspaper, the public-house, and the racecourse. English civilization made us into the stage Irishman, hardly a caricature…Mr. de Valera, in a speech he made on February 19, warned the people of Ireland against a life of ease, against living practically `the life of the beasts', which, he fears, they may be tempted to do in Ireland under the Free State. The chance that materialism will take possession of the Irish people is no more likely in a free Ireland under the Free State than it would be in a free Ireland under a Republican or any other form of government. It is in the hands of the Irish people themselves…The real riches of the Irish nation will be the men and women of the Irish nation, the extent to which they are rich in body and mind and character. – Michael Collins (Path To Freedom)

[The Retard]

Not only are Jews good in their eyes, but they are now seen as no worse than, or as good as, anyone else in the West. Consequently, 'antisemitism' is now understood as a highly pejorative term both by Jews and non-Jews -- which is what makes the charges of 'antisemitism" loosely defined, so useful a weapon in political discourse. So long as memories of the 'final solution' remain vivid the use of that special term of dark origin implies that there is something unsually and uniquely evil about any serious hostility towards Jews.

--Gavin Langmuir

[Helios Panoptes]

We must not omit to notice that the followers of this doctrine, anxious to display their talent in assigning final causes, have imported a new method of argument in proof of their theory--namely, a reduction, not to the impossible, but to ignorance; thus showing that they have no other method of exhibiting their doctrine. For example, if a stone falls from a roof on to some one's head and kills him, they will demonstrate by their new method, that the stone fell in order to kill the man; for, if it had not by God's will fallen with that object, how could so many circumstances (and there are often many concurrent circumstances) have all happened together by chance? Perhaps you will answer that the event is due to the facts that the wind was blowing, and the man was walking that way. "But why, they will insist, "was the wind blowing, and why was the man at that very time walking that way ?~ If you again answer, that the wind had then sprung up because the sea had begun to be agitated the day before, the weather being previously calm, and that the man had been invited by a friend, they will again insist: "But why was the sea agitated, and why was the man invited at that time? So they will pursue their questions from cause to cause, till at last you take refuge in the will of God--in other words, the sanctuary of ignorance. So, again, when they survey the frame of the human body, they are amazed; and being ignorant of the causes of so great a work of art conclude that it has been fashioned, not mechanically, but by divine and supernatural skill, and has been so put together that one part shall not hurt another.

Hence any one who seeks for the true causes of miracles, and strives to understand natural phenomena as an intelligent being, and not to gaze at them like a fool, is set down and denounced as an impious heretic by those, whom the masses adore as the interpreters of nature and the gods. Such persons know that, with the removal of ignorance, the wonder which forms their only available means for proving and preserving their authority would vanish also.

But let us not be fooled: objects are categories of objects which quite tyrannically induce categories of persons. They undertake the policings of social meanings, and the significations they engender are controlled. Their proliferation, simultaneously arbitrary and coherent, is the best vehicle for social order, equally arbitrary and coherent, to materialize itself effectively under the sign of affluence.

The light thus produced was deliciously soft, mysterious, and subdued; it fell equally upon all the objects in the room; it helped to intensify the deep silence, and the air of profound silence that possessed the place; and it surrounded, with an appropriate halo of repose, the solitary figure of the master of the house, leaning back listlessly composed, in a large easy-chair, with a reading easel fastened on ones of its arms, and a little table on the other.

"It is one of the commonest beliefs of the day that the human race collectively has before it splendid destinies of various kind, and that the road to them is to be found in the removal of all restraint on human conduct, in the recognition of a substantial equality between all human creatures, and in fraternity or general love. These doctrines … are regarded not merely as truths, but as truths for which those who believe in them are ready to do battle. … Such, stated in the most general terms, is the religion of which I take “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity” to be the creed. I do not believe it."
