how do u reconcile jesus' sacrifice with Randian philosophy? @4 @2 @ all
Post by twetch#6920
Jesus remains my idol despite all (Not raised Christian)
Not because I believe he was part man part god but because I think the concept of self sacrifice for the good of posterity on any scale is the measure for which we all subscribe to for posterity

The narrative is powerful in itself not any specificities of the gospel
Again, not a Christian, but the archetype of a god fearing, god loving, man of the people, of the sick, the indigent, who loses everything for them is a strong archetype to aspire to
Also convinced he was a shaman and had extensive experience with psychedelics and out-of-body experiences connecting with the non-physical realm of spirits and entities
Just in case any Catholics were excited about my devotion
The archetype you referenced is ABRAHAM. If you are Christian or Jewish, you believe he was going to sacrifice his son Isaac, if Muslim, his son Ishmael . All three religions stem from this event. Christians just repeated it. The Father sacrificing the Son
No I think Jesus represents a progression of that archetype. Sacrifice for your blood is not the same as sacrifice for posterity in general. The former is ingrained biologically and the latter is a moral development in human culture
“If thou be the son of god, command that these stones he made bread. But Jesus resisted the temptation.”
Lol as if anyone could do that if they wanted to
Mans starving in the wilderness resisting the urge to magically turn rocks into food
There needs to be some balance between accepting the challenge of Satan and wealth (materialism, angel fallen from the sublime into the rational) and submitting to a higher power that views humanity in a scope beyond competition and capitalistic success
That said, I like the idea of Jesus’ final temptation being his sacrifice and the final veil of Satan, and his resurrection as a folly that has driven humanity towards the moment we are in now.
