>malum ex prohibitum is a cause for celebration
Imagine being this much of a bug man.
Imagine having your morality come from laws instead of God.
Imagine being this pathetic. People like you were born to be slaves and serve their betters. You do not know right from wrong. You do not know what to celebrate. You're a confused creature that has no place here.

THE LAW OF FRICTION

AS ^ SO v

JUST AS FRICTION IN THE PHYSICAL PLANE CREATES HEAT, FIRE; SO TOO DOES THE FRICTION OF ONE THING RESISTING ANOTHER PRODUCE THE PRINCIPLE OF FIRE AS SUCH. THE PHILOSOPHER'S FIRE. 'I INDEED BAPTIZE YOU WITH WATER UNTO REPENTANCE: BUT (...) HE SHALL BAPTIZE YOU WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT AND WITH FIRE' ETC.

AGONY AND SORROW ARE, WHILE NOT A SUFFICIENT CAUSE FOR SPIRITUAL GROWTH, A NECESSARY ONE. WITHOUT THEM THERE IS STAGNATION. LANGUOR. PARALYSIS AND ATROPHY. MODERNITY IS NOTHING MORE THAN A MONUMENT TO THE REMOVAL OF PAINS AND THE PERVERSIONS AND STUPIDITIES THAT FOLLOW. EXISTENCE IS PAINFUL BECAUSE PAIN IS THE CREATURELY SPIRIT RUBBING UP AGAINST THE LIMITS WHICH ALLOW FOR ITS PERCEPTION IN THE FIRST PLACE. WHICH ACTIVATE IT. MIND IS THE PROGENY OF FRICTION.

HOWEVER, ONE MUST REMEMBER THAT THE LAW OF FRICTION IS ULTIMATELY THE SATANIC MODE OF PRODUCING HEAT. THE IDIOT RUBS HIS CHEST TO KEEP FROM GETTING COLD WHILE THE SAGE BREATHES CALMLY AND CONTROLS HIS TEMPERATURE BY FORCE OF WILL. SO TOO WILL YOU LEARN THAT REASON ITSELF IS THE TRUE AND MOST EFFICENT AGENT BY WHICH FIRE IS PRODUCED, AND THEN YOU SHALL BE TRULY FREE.

Read the church fathers guys, seriously I’ve had it with these atheist and Protestant ignoranuses shitting up discussions of theology. St Isaac the Syrian said:
>I also maintain that those who are punished in Gehenna are scourged by the scourge of love. For what is so bitter and vehement as the punishment of love? I mean that those who have become conscious that they have sinned against love suffer greater torment from this than from any fear of punishment. For the sorrow caused in the heart by sin against love is sharper than any torment that can be. It would be improper for a man to think that sinners in Gehenna are deprived of the love of God. Love is the offspring of knowledge of the truth which, as is commonly confessed, is given to all. The power of love works in two ways: it torments those who have played the fool, even as happens here when a friend suffers from a friend; but it becomes a source of joy for those who have observed its duties. Thus I say that this is the torment of Gehenna: bitter regret. But love inebriates the souls of the sons of Heaven by its delectability.

Hell and Heaven are the same, except the presence of God is torture to the wicked and paradise to the righteous.
