    Ooh you know I actually didn’t, I was just assuming he was being serious considering the non-secular time he existed in. But I didn’t exactly think he was talking about the results being literal eternal suffering or paradise either. In my misconception I had thought he was proposing to live as a functional faith practitioner and just reap the tangible benefits of that when you’re alive. So thanks for prompting me to actually look at it.

    You already know I love youtube. I’ll get to that first before the books but probably not before the further Wikipedia articles I got recommended in this thread. Is it cool if I message you any thoughts she stirs up? I definitely appreciate people who can identify pro-social and useful facets of problematic ideologies.
