In this day and age it seems very difficult to find any genuine/sincere people who actually care about anything other than themselves or their own family & friends. No doubt such people still exist (to an extent), but they definitely do so under the radar these days, as Western Society itself promotes individualism, fame and wealth. The Selfie Age, as it will no doubt be called.
Regardless, despite my aversion to religion one thing is certain: the people who have eventually changed things (socially) in the name of their God have done so because of their God. Social evolution driven by God. It's happening right now, every time a ruck-sack blows-up on a train, etc..
All social revolution, including the idea that no humans are slaves, was driven by the bible or suchlike (God). Alternatively, we could consider a character who fascinates me deeply, Henry VIII, who ultimately changed the course of Western History, by deciding that He had more power than the Pope, but only in God's eye.
Even the fuckin' Greeks and Romans, Egyptians, etc., had their Gods to dictate their own social movements. Social movements driven by Gods.
Where the fuck can you find social evolution not driven by God? Only in extreme fundamental atheists. Those who don't give two fucks for God. Those who have no reason to do anything other than for their own self and family/friends.
... Enter the The God of Essex. The God of the individual. An idiotic attitude, for sure, but still a social movement driven by a God.
I rest my case.
I bet you don’t.

Philosophy is a bit like business. You set your stall up and yet somebody will still want to shaft you unless you do xyz even when you've already done xyz. I sincerely hope that your business doesn't ecounter the shit I've endured here. Sincerely, again. Though there's a history of theists being shafted in this gaff, let it be known that I don't take it personal. Banter? You bet your life. But if I were the kind of bloke who was dependent upon support, as a lone theist I'd have been fucked-off much more than a decade ago in gaffs like this.
So, when I say something like "I rest my case" regarding a particular argument, it means that I (personally) think that I've said enough to justify a certain point, or the OP.
What it doesn't necessarily mean is that I'll henceforth be silent, completely. Such 'shit' should be obvious to anyone with a brain, and you have a brain. Yet currently you also have 4 thumbs-ups for making this brainless political mantra. Therefore, I felt that I needed to reply, accordingly, since it worries me that there's at least 5 of you out there that think (assuming it's not just metaphysical politics) that I'm not smart enough to know what you're all saying.
... Let me assure the 5+ of you, that I am. Let me also assure you all that I as an individual will still be arguing the same points here even if your thumbs-ups for your own post reaches 7 billion.
The primitivism thing, tribalism, doesn't work when you are opposing an army of ONE and when that army wants to recruit you.
You blockheads need to understand precisely why I can love you all yet still call you all blockheads, yet will still buy you a pint immediately after.
I've endured shit from you all. I've give you shit back. Banter, in my eye, just making sure that you all know the extent of my lion heart.
I'll be here tomorrow even if you can contrive amongst you to fathom some way of giving me a universal thumbs-down, because it won't be universal whilst I'm still walking the planet.
I'm quite accepting of the fact that james will endure all sorts of shit, as is he. He's endured this bullshit in atheist forums for close to two decades, and many of you have witnessed his tenacity for yourselves. I mean, some cunt even accused him of issuing a death threat about 5 or 6 years ago. Plenty of other cunts have tried to establish that he's just crazy. Most others just play politics and try to establish the fact that he's not intelligent or capable of anything. For those people especially, go fuck yourselves. If we review the state of religion and spiritually, james 'himself' would take a dump upon all and so do I (and why wouldn't I?), so you should bet your bottom dollar that if there's a God, that 'it' would invest itself in a charachter like james. Naturally, not many humans would. James himself, you should understand, is in a difficult position coming to terms with his own human circumstances. He's no Jesus, yet, so don't treat him as one. Personally, my own opinion is that his head is fucked with ideas of what the son of God is supposed to be like, etc., but I'll leave him to sort that shit out for himself. God did never brainwash anyone. Only retarded opinions of God were ever used as a base to create the history that we can currently review.
Before james knew of me of course, I am, however no consciousness is awarded this knowledge at its conception. I mean, what would be the fucking point?
Anyway the bottom fucking line is that jamest doesn't give two shits about your collective mockery and will still love you all regardless, even for another two decades. I mean, Fallible, Thom Esh, SAM, Cali, Thommo, LucidF, whomever fucking currently hates and/or mocks him, he understands. He still wants to buy you all a drink, regardless, because he knows the truth even if you don't.
There are treasures within dark places. james (that is, the consciousness of being him) is currently shining his torch upon his own mind. That's what you all should be doing, including the atheistic bullshit imposed upon you from wherever. Remember also that james is neither religious nor a slave to materialism/science, though previously he's been a slave of sorts to both of them.
In case you didn't know, the robes and sandals thing was a joke. God doesn't expect you to dress like a fucking idiot. Actually, God doesn't expect anything. Die as you envisage, or, conversely, understand that nothing dies except a particular experience. Just know that from the mouth that is james, the truth that there is no actual death is true.
james will carry on, regardless, because none of you can hurt me, and I ordain that this puppet will do so.
