SUFFERING IS CHEAP | 2005-09-21
It is no accident that theologians, including Communist theologians, talk almost exclusively about how the people need to make sacrifices.
Jesus preached one single commandment when it came to the question of how you should treat all human beings, including yourself:
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
So early Christianity responded by tens of thousands of people going out into the desert and whipping themselves and starving themselves and imprisoning themselves and humiliating themselves.
What exactly does all this self-immolation have to do with the golden rule?
How about the other of the two commandments? If you torture yourself, does it show you love God?
You are showing you love by taking one of his children and torturing him.
If that makes sense to you, you need a long rest.
So why do all religions, including Marxism, love sacrifice and suffering so much?
The reason is obvious. Any retard knows how to torture somebody. Torturing yourself is even less of an intellectual feat.
It's easy to hurt yourself.
On the hand hand, the golden rule is far more challenging. It takes talent to put a smile on someone else's face.
Like the Communist "intellectual" the theologian has absolutely nothing to offer anybody. So he prescribes suffering. He tells you you should suffer gladly.
Neither the theologian nor the "intellectual" has anything to sell.
So they sell you pain and sacrifice, the easiest and cheapest commodities there are.
