Do Not Read This

Why Are You Reading This?

        If I told you not to eat an apple, would you want one? Is it human nature
    to be disobedient? Suppose sin is genetic, then there would be no guilt.
    Adam and Eve ate the Forbidden Fruit and all their descendants were punished
    with death. Is this justice? Penance requires the sinner to accept responsibility
    for their trespass by confession and practice to sin no more. But, how can there
    contrition for an inherited sin?

      The "knowing" is intuitive. The good accomplished unwittingly is not meritorious.
    I recognize it to be undeserved. Socrates defined a universe as a place which
    ought to be as impossible. Nature determined perfection: "evil actions are only
    produced by ignorance, and no one is ever bad of his own free will."
    The ethics of Socrates was a "motiveless volition."

    THE ORIGIN OF THE FAMILY, PRIVATE PROPERTY AND THE STATE
    by Friederich Engels.

    1) Marriage and the family changed with the economic development
        of society.

    2) The fall of allegargy: Greek, Romans and Germanic came from economic
        collaspe.

    3) The growth of productivity of labour and disintegration of tribal systems
        and formation of classes; arose from class struggle and conflict.

    4) The state did not always exist, but appeared at a certain point of economic
        development.

    5) The state in the hands of capitalist exploiters will always cause oppression.

    6) The classes will disappear as inevitably as they appeared in the past with the
        dissolution of the state.

    This is historical materialism.

    Tribal paradynes:

    "What is it makes us attribute to pre-modern Semites a universal wisdom,
    and makes us assume that their written words are free from ignorance,
    or prejudice?(Living in Sin; Bishop Spong). The problem of ethics, is then reduced
    to functionality and natural selection.

    Saint Thomas Aquinas called the problem of sin "the shadow on the ground."
    The sun in heaven gives light, but obstacles cast shadows. "God, therefore, cannot
    be the cause of evil, for evil is an obstacle to good and cannot be the origin of
    a positive creative act."(Divine Providence, Fr. Downey)

    Consider a bystander, who has nothing to do with a stranger in need of help.
    Should the bystander risk his safety? What is the natural solution? If the
    bystander does help the stranger, but causes both their deaths; is this good?

    A heroic act is selfless and for the benefit of another. Here stands an unjustly
    convicted man on the gallows. He has confessed to a crime he did not commit
    to save a love one. He is hanged. Is the guilt absolved?

    I have observed that bad people prosper. If they are prosperous, then is this not
    good in itself? What if a good deed was punished, would the consequences of this
    action be bad?

                                Is it a good idea to read this?
                                You could be tempted to do something
                                socially unacceptable.
                                Maybe, you should forget what you read.
                                Ask someone you respect for their opinion.
                                Then, do nothing that will upset the authorities.
                                You will be rewarded for not thinking.
                                Nobody likes a trouble maker.
