If I remember you're also a socialist. How do you constellate your societal institutions without some form of authoritarian monopoly on violence, ie. a state?

Democratic institutions such as cooperatives and communes -- which I assume are the goal -- only function when dissidents are kept in check. Can't be "anarchy" unless by "anarchy" you mean a specifically narrowed down definition whose only defining trait is being against the status quo nation-state and pro its own form of rule.

I didn't choose to find anything to feel better, i just lost faith in idiocy that is atheism, as time went by I started to feel much better and attributed it to being freed from the shackles of atheism.
There is a good reason why vast majority of people obsessed with Harry Potter are atheists, it is a story about people having some kind of physical powers in a material world, Harry Potter has nothing to say about what's beyond the world which is physical, it's just a story in an "enhanced" version of our world.

We must free ourselves of the shackles third wave feminism has imposed on us.
We must accept that the idea of tabula rasa is thoroughly debunked.
We must accept that equal outcome is unachievable and promoting the idea causes significant harm to society.

After all of this we might stand a chance.

Yes, the way I interpret it is that Kierkegaard is talking about hope. Kierkegaard is talking about hope. Living in the passionate sense of potential is living with hope.

God can involve himself with the human race on one of two conditions, either in such a way that individuals are found who are willing to venture out so far in hating themselves that God can use them as apostles, or in such a way that the true situation is honestly and unconditionally admitted. The latter is my primitivity.

As far as the former is concerned, this is certainly the instruction of the New Testament. But with respect to venturing out so far, the following must be noted. This is something so dreadful for a human being that it is permissible to say: I dare not.

I do not think the word nearly as well fits the sanitation department workers for whom it is used. But journalists are really night-garbage-carriers. They do not carry the trash *away* at night, which is both a noble task and a good work; no, they carry the trash *in* during the day, or to describe it more accurately they spread night, darkness, confusion over men -- in short, they are night-carriers.

No, they didn't, this is a /pol/tard meme. The revolution did enable liberal elements to do what they wanted, but Lenin was a bit busy dealing with a civil war and its recovery at the time to deal with them. The only reason homosexuality was 'legalized' after 1917 was that Lenin abolished all the Tsarist laws, he didn't specifically legalize it. Lenin always had disdain for these liberal social causes.

>An Ohio farmer, Roscoe Filburn, was growing wheat to feed animals on his own farm. The US government had established limits on wheat production, based on the acreage owned by a farmer, to stabilize wheat prices and supplies. Filburn grew more than was permitted and so was ordered to pay a penalty. In response, he said that because his wheat was not sold, it could not be regulated as commerce, let alone "interstate" commerce (described in the Constitution as "Commerce... among the several states"). The Supreme Court disagreed: "Whether the subject of the regulation in question was 'production', 'consumption', or 'marketing' is, therefore, not material for purposes of deciding the question of federal power before us.... But even if appellee's activity be local and though it may not be regarded as commerce, it may still, whatever its nature, be reached by Congress if it exerts a substantial economic effect on interstate commerce and this irrespective of whether such effect is what might at some earlier time have been defined as 'direct' or 'indirect.'"

Aristotle could be considered a first among thinkers that became Deists. He didn't even believe in an afterlife or immortality of the soul.

Plato's entire last third of his corpus is entirely ABOUT the afterlife, the soul, spiritual attainment - purification and perfection. Everything he taught up to then was merely preparation for shedding the materialist view that Aristotle was fond of and seeking knowledge about the immaterial using intuition and introspection.
