Thanks for a link that even with it's basic knowledge of gbosticism, proves that Christian gnostic doesn't know what he's talking about.

Just to clarify. If point one is true, point 2 is unlikely to be true about their motives. If point two is true, point one is unlikely to be true. Usually it is just one of those motivations not both.

The o ly thing that matters is facts, and tranny is not a derogatory term. I first met one in the mid 90s who referred to herself as a trannie. Calling it offensive now, is merely playing the euphemism wheel game.
Just like how we go from toilet to loo, to John then back to toilet. It is a euphemism wheel and it's dumb to engage in it. The terms you find acceptable bow, will be replaced with euphemisms later. Some of the terms you find offensive now will be the same euphimisms we use in the future to avoid hurting feelings.

Which system of morality system do you use?
Kantianism
Humanism
Egoism?
Consequentialism?
I just want to know how comfortable you made yourself with philosophy? Or are you just completely uneducated on morality and have no ideal what any of those things I listed are?
More importantly, how were those ethical systems arrived at?

I am explaining their actual motives which are subconscious to them, so I can actually state their true position better than they can
Created:
Claiming trannies is a bad word is just playing along with what is referred to as the euphemism wheel. I could and have explained the transgendered reasons for doing it elsewhere, but it boils down to 2 reasons generally.
1. They have a fetish they believe it is a turn on to be a woman
2. It is self hatred. Destroying themselves they think will turn them into new people. This is why so many commit suicide, they think once they kill their old selves, they will be happy. However, they are still there, even when their dixk is cut off.

Korean society screams paranoia.
Perhaps, but not every action is based on paranoia though.
So why they do what they do is all relative.
I am sure that is somehow relevant to your first point, in your head some how.
We can become complacent with own our conditioned sensibilities, and also expect everyone else to behave as we do.
Okay, sure. Not exactly relevant here though as I am asking what their motivations are, and not insisting they think like us.
What motivated Otto to go to North Korea.
Irrelevant, but I will answer. It was obviously because it was an adventure. He wanted a fun adventure and the travel agency he used claimed it was safe.

You don't understand what Libertarian means. Libertarians seek to minimize state power. Dictators by definition hold maximal state power.
The dictator in this scenario would enforce a philosophy of negative rights, therefore maximizing freedom, which in turn would create a virtual utopian state.
The ability to do something is not the same as actually taking advantage of that ability. We can see in democratic states the break down of society.
People are now voting to take away the rights of others. Democracy is 2 wolves and a sheep, voting for what's for dinner.

Only dictators that have a libertarian bend.
A dictator that will require freedom by having a philosophy of negative rights, would be ideal.

I don't think this is accurate. If you grab random women's butts (I think it's gross because that's where the poop comes out of), they won't be turned on by it. Your more likely to get slapped than to have a woman like you for it.
Consensual domination genius. What you are referring to is assault.
Also women's bodies are beautiful, stop with the blasphemy.

Don't you think it's a little biased to tell women to "totally and completely submit to" men?
Maybe, but I am discussing what is going to lead to the happiest relationships. I think men have this opinion where because they will hate to submit, it is wrong for women to submit. Or maybe they think women don't want to submit. They do want to. They will rationalize things and try to pretend to be men, but they love being dominated. It's a turn on, and if they try to dominate you, usually it is a test to see if you are man enough to knock them down a peg, if you do, they'll want you.
Women are recorded as being less happy overall now than in the 1950s, and all of the reasons for this, is the false notion of egalitarianism.
First for the advice. Start lifting, start being assertive and eat nutritious food. If you aren't craving sex your hormones are out of whack. Fix it with the above advice.
I lift. I eat food more nutritious than the typical person. I'm not that assertive I think though.
I don't want to comment further until I know your individual situation. A lot of things could be at play here, such as eating too many estrogenic food, or lacking magnesium. I can't help you publicly.

I'm playing Devil's advocate: If there are more requirements to adopt, it will lead to less people adopting. But if you advocate more requirements to be a foster parent, what particular additional requirement(s) would you add? I think there are restrictions that ban child rapists from adopting for example, yet child rape still occurs.
You are conflating fostering with adoption. Most kids end up returned to their biological families.
How do you plan on ending child rape within the foster care system? It seems (at least to me) that everyone who wants to end child rape anywhere doesn't have a good plan for how to do it.
In a free society, you can't end any crime for the most part. Foster child advocates have longed pushed for states to stop putting vulnerable children with children more likely to be abusive.
Not being able to entirely eliminate a crime however, doesn't mean we shouldn't pursue things that make the crime less common.
If this happens, then it will lead to single mothers setting their kids up for adoption because they can't afford them and then the children (who at least had 1 biological parent taking care of them) now don't have any. Single motherhood is better for a kid than being an orphan.
Studies show that the rate of single motherhood has went up after we started barreling towards a welfare state. All evidence points to the opposite of your conclusion.
Only about 18% of prisoners are in jail for drug use. If every single drug user was freed and rehabilitated, America will still have a lot of prisoners
Let's think about this for a minute. Most first time offenders are those with drug charges. Now they go to prison and since they are only among the 18% they start making connections to the underworld and now have new things they can do such as stealing or fraud.
When the 18% gets out of prison, then they cannot get a job because of a felony, they have no skills because they were in prison instead of learning them. Now they are in a position where the most logical course of action is doing illegal things to make money.
Instead of looking at stats about what percentage of prisoners are for drug charges, it would be more accurate to look at how most people get their first charge whether it lands them in prison or not. Did most people get their first charge as murder and car theft or more likely was it petty stuff like drugs and shoplifting etc.?
Who tends to be more promiscuous, alphas or betas? Because I would think alphas are the ones who are more promiscuous (think Donald Trump). I'm a beta according to many people and I don't want to have sex.
First for the advice. Start lifting, start being assertive and eat nutritious food. If you aren't craving sex your hormones are out of whack. Fix it with the above advice.
It's not about how many women somebody sleeps with, it is about keeping a woman happy and loyal to you. Being a bitch is not what makes a woman's pussy wet. Be a man, keep her horny and jealous, treat yourself and her with respect and you'll have a lasting relationship. Women are usually the ones that initiate divorce, so I am telling men to be somebody worthy of loyalty.
If I had advice to women, it would be to be choosy about men, not in the physical sense, but in the quality of their character and to totally and completely submit to them.

I also watched a kid get raped in foster care, but other foster kids. He was 6. So good job government, taking an abused kid and apparently believing their wasn't enough abuse with their parents so putting them in a more abusive environment.

) "Lets reform/fix up the foster system". My concern with this idea: All the people I met that advocate this idea have no idea how they would do it. How, specifically, are you willing to reform the foster system?
I've seen it first hand. I have about a million ways to do it. First off, pay social workers and do not put too much on their plate, require a bacchelors degree. The average social worker moves onto a new less stressful job within 2 years kf becoming one.
Social workers are predominantly stupid and First generation college students. They are also overzealous or lazy. Nothing in between. Paying them enough will attract better people. Stupid and overzealous means many kids and families are unfairly persecuted. Stupid and lazy means abused kids often aren't saved. Eliminate Stupid people in the job.
Foster parents are shit tier quality. Almost all of them are abusive. Not forgetting about foster kids when they get into foster care would prevent a lot of this. Maybe incentivizing good people to foster or going back to boys homes and leaving foster parents out of it. I can tell you I received less abuse in a boys home than in foster care.
I actually can't stand foster parents who bitch about too many requirements to be foster parents or to stay parents. It cannot be simultaneously true that they receive too many requirements and that too many are abusive.
I would also like to see more charitable donations go to groups like boys town. Boys Town was the only people useful when I was in foster care. My guardian ad litem was useless, and decided her incompetence was true and quit, then went to being a 911 operator, which kind of pissed me off. Given the choice of an incompetent guardian ad listen and 911 operator, surely the incompetent guardian ad litem is better. Every element of the system made my life worse, and the life of my siblings worse. The only exception. The only people who cared and did something was boystown. They got me out of an abusive foster home, got me back with family that actually loved me and were the only reason I didn't kill myself. So organization's like boys town need more charitable contributions.

1) "Lets reform education." --- First of, make education fair. Simply living in a poor neighbourhood should not be reason for your school to lack necesary funding.
Poor schools get more funding. Look at Washington DC where 7x the normal rate in the United States is spent on public schooling per child.
Yet private schools that spend below the normal rate per child get better results. This is the problem with liberalsnin general.
Black kids are not performing worse in school because of lack of funding. It's because of a lacknof a prefrontal cortex that allows for impulse control as well as having lower IQs in general.

Lets end single motherhood." My concern with this idea: All the people I met that advocate this idea have no idea how they would do it. How would you end single motherhood.
I think you are not only disagreeing with people's whose views you don't understand, but you are doing a but of straw manner without realizing it.
You would prevent a lot of women from being forced to raise a child alone, by doing things that encourage a nuclear family type environment. For example Ending too many government subsidies that give women a safety net that allows them to remain children and screw around with no consequences as opposed to staying with their husband's.
You would prevent over incarceration by reforming drug laws and having prisons become a rehabilitation system as well. Also make laws that stop employers from being prejudiced against felons, and forcing them back into a life of crime because their options are eliminated, and thus taking them out of the home.
Society should also stop praising single mothers as heros. They should be ashamed to be single mothers for the most part. Choosing a partner that will leave them because they are turned on by "bad boys", engaging in premarital sex, these are not good things.
We can also prevent a lot of single mother hood by making it hard for women to just deny their baby daddy the right to see their kids by playing games with the legal system. For example, damn near every single mother in a custody battle, once they feel like their husband is getting too many rights will claim the husband molested their kid.
We also have a lot of women who don't like the father seeing the kid at all and will engage in parental alienation syndrome, which can make the kid hate their father.
Men need to be more masculine as well. Masculine is attractive to women, and they are just less likely to fuck around on an alpha male. Not being a beta bitch boy will just save a lot of relationships.

When I was gone for a few months he sent me a message showing concern. I can share the screenshot on discord. He likes masculine men that will put him in his place. If I got him alone, he would be making me sandwiches and calling me daddy within 3 minutes.

@Polytheist-Witch
I'm really sick of atheists deciding what theists are welcome here and which ones are not. You're the intruder, not the theists.
This is actually true. I always felt like the more general religious arguments like "Is God real" belongs in the philosophy section. As do arguments like the problem of evil, kalam cosmological argument, modal ontological argument, duality etc.

I have a sneaky feeling that religious people dont mind the idea that others will spend eternity in hell.
This isn't true. Christians that believe in hell, are often in deep regret over not doing a good enough job trying to save a loved ones soul. It can give you crushing guilt to know you could save a life, but didn't because you were afraid sharing your religion would hurt a friendship.

@Stephen
Has it ever crossed your mind that these ancient stories may simply amount to nothing more that a initiation of sorts and were not "miracles " at all?
It in fact has. I was an atheist until my late 30s. I still feel like when I was an atheist I had a better understanding of the Bible than you. I mean you know a lot of passages, but I don't feel like it comes from a place of understanding what they are trying to say.
Even when I was a kid I acted like I believed in God, but I never did until recently . So, yes I have considered that they are bullshit and was thoroughly convinced of it for a while.
I think what we are discussing right now has nothing to donwith whether the stories are bullshit or not. There are a few possibilities here, and belief is the least interesting one.
1. Your interpretation of the Bible is correct and the Bible is real.
2. Your interpretation of the Bible is wrong and the Bible is correct
3. Your interpretation is correct but the Bible is wrong
4. Your interpretation is wrong and the Bible is fake.
I think we are discussing something separate and addressing the hypothetical why in the op.
If God is real, why does this happen. We branched off,into if God is real Than why is Jesus curing individuals, when it would benefit the world more for him to heal all blind people and lepers?
It's my interpretation that the Bible is saying that Jesus was like a lucky charm that helped these sick people have faith they could be healed and they were essentially healed by faith. You pointed out times when Jesus did not credit faith, but he credited it in enough instances where it us safe to assume we can credit it to the other instances.
I guess I am just more comfortable than you speculating as to things that happened, which aren't explicitly stated in the bible.
As far as faith of a mustard seed is concerned. I think you have some initial impressions that it means "small amount of faith", probably because a mustard seed is small. I think big things come in small packages though and the faith of the mustard seed is probably pretty deep.
You did ask me if I can move a mountain. The truth is I can, but I won't. We have a limited amount of time to do things in this world, and I don't feel like spending the next 50 years planting dynamite all over a mountain.
Have you ever looked into the gnostic Christians. When the Bible was being put together, they really did try to keep all the gnostic texts out of it. However a lot of the gnostic ideology remains and the Bible really is saying something similar to what you would hear on that law of attraction movie, called "The Secret". The secret is just the 2nd step in occult understanding and is a tiny piece of the puzzle.
