>>did I get that right?
>What you have said is interesting, and speaking only of it in itself, may have some value in the sense of a poetic expression, but you are wrong. There is really no singularly "right" Christianity in the sense of the different sects, like protestant or Catholic. But you are wrong in thinking Jesus was an anti-OT, this is factually a mistake, though you can say Paul may not have exactly been Christs beliefs, or any of the sects. Traditionally and that is historically however, the Catholic church is the Christian religion, but the greatness of that religion is not limited by its worldly foundation.
>I believe that a return of Christianity to Zoroastrianism synthesized with a gnostic-Christianized "German Idealism" would lose what Wagner had called "the purely human", though not singularly a thing of the human, it is rather an awareness that the centre of the Christian religion rests on the heart of man, rather than a pragmatic-logical truth necessarily present within it. Almost like the difference between a Schopenhauer and a Hegel, but of course this is a radically simplifying comparison. What your professor apparently advocates for is already found within the Christian religion and tradition, and of course the unique identity of a Mithra must necessarily forever hold its uniqueness, we must say that this image of a suffering Christ is far superior. And Gnosticism seems to me that it would too much lose the real emotional character of Christianity, with its extreme emphasis on the transcending divine. A Carlylian sense of God unifies these things best, as Wagner himself became aware of in his later life.
>>Only the love that springs from pity, and carries its compassion to the utmost breaking of self-will, is the redeeming Christian Love, in which Faith and Hope are both included of a—Faith as the unwavering consciousness of that moral meaning of the world, confirmed by the most divine exemplar; Hope as the blessed sense of the impossibility of any cheating of this consciousness.

Lmao women dontlike retards like you who 'respect' them lol. I hate women, and admit to being mysoginist and violent whenever they dare ask. I have hit some of my partners too, and guess what? The ones I mistreated the most are the ones that gave me the longest relationships. You failed as a man only getting used goods, I am thriving.
