That is, ironically, basically the answer I got from my high school religion teacher when I asked him about Christianity's views on Aliens.
basically, yeah
when Jesus is asked about who is going to heaven and stuff he basically says "mind your own business"
Abrahamic religions, apon meeting with extraterrestrial sentient life forms, who conceivably have their own religious truths and perhaps even their own all inclusive Jesus, will fall over each other doing one of two things:
1. Finding new reasons in their dogma and scriptures to accept this as part of God's plan.
2. Angry anti-alien heretic mob bullshit. Aliens can't exist because they weren't in the Bible.
Eastern religions on the whole, when meeting extraterrestrials, will bro-fist their tentacles or what have you and offer them their hospitality. Because to them, it's like their just meeting reincarnations of humans past or future humans or just sentient beings doing their thing like we are, sharing the same burdens and shit.
maybe you should go fuck yourself, shank, it's one thirty in the morning and I'm not changing the world with my stupid jokes any more than you are with your righteous indignation
The practical effect of a thought has no bearing on the moral value of the thought!
Do you know, to this day, I get the two of you mixed up?
Along these lines, you know what really pisses me off about the US political system.
The whole "dems vs repubs" bullshit. Its like, to get involved in politics or "be taken seriously" you have to be for or against one of them. "OMFG the dems are sooo stupid I love the repukelicans" etc
Like is it so hard to see that the whole fucking system is corporatist? They are 2 sides of the same rotton coin
fffffffffffffffffffffff

yes because Hindus and Buddhists and Confucians have never ever persecuted other religions or ethnicities
Any good "corporations" have done has absolutely been outweighed by all the evil they have created and are constantly perpetrating in the world, sorry. A token donation to a small town does not balance out training death squads in South America, stealing African aquifers, using child labour, using sweat-shop labour, etc. It just doesn't.
Right, because treating people like dirt didn't exist before big corporations. Get real.
Every major society and every major form of government has done plenty of deplorable shit throughout all of human history. If you fault big corporations, you need to hold every thing to the same standard, and everything would fail.
You're right, it would! I believe that humanity is certainly better off than it was under agrarian dictatorships, feudalism, and the various economic systems that followed that. But I believe there is a far more humane, and much BETTER solution than Capitalism! There are people working towards that, but like I said, its not happening fast enough. I am doing what I can here to help, so I am not just words, here.
That's good because in truth, a corporation cannot be bad because a corporation isn't really anything. It's the people who run it (same as the politicians in any government) that make it bad.
Get good people to run it, and good things can happen.

You're right, it would! I believe that humanity is certainly far better off than it was under agrarian dictatorships, feudalism, and the various economic systems that followed that. But I believe there is a far more humane, and much BETTER solution than Capitalism! There are people working towards that, but like I said, its not happening fast enough.

This is my favourite post of yours that you have ever made.
I agree with it in principle and I look at capitalism as a stepping stone to something even better. That's me being optimistic, but shit I might go into Social Policy one day if my degree and career take me that far so it stands to reason that lights at the ends of tunnels, even if it's a light into ANOTHER, broader tunnel, are good things.
That said, it is not corporations that make capitalism or, really, the status quo bad, but individuals with influence and power using influence and power badly

not to defend sweatshops but doesn't the money a lot of them pay their workers make them VASTLY more wealthy, comparatively, for their region?
I'm not talking about the sugar plantations that force people to spend what little they have in company-owned stores with jacked-up prices
I mean it's not a United States defined minimum wage, but the cost of living in the US is astronomical compared to the cost of living in areas with sweatshops
