More protests Against The Theocratic Regime in Iran

[Angrboda]

BrianSoddingBoru + Thumpalumpagus:
 
- It’s still a classic among books on spirituality. I’ve only read the first book of the series. So you may be right. There are more interesting and “to the point” books on the market anyway
 
Angrboda:
 
- These are entire systems of spiritual growth and something called conscious living. There are entire books that are written on these subjects. Yet one of these principles is to assume responsibility for your actions and for your life. I’m not saying that atheists cannot understand such principles. In many cases they understand it more than us. But that is still one form of universal spiritual principle. And that’s “Being responsible for your own life” or “”Being or acting like a grown up”.
 
/Today everyone is on the back of D. Trump because of the war he started together with Netanyahu:

- I’m not saying that these people are wrong. I never said that.
 
Still: The principle I am talking about applies to nations as well. Why does a nation not act so that it and its people are not involved in such a catastrophic / destructive situation? What would King Solomon do in that situation?
 
/Vietnam was a different situation. Yet people like Kaddafi, Saddam, Bashar al Assad or the IRI they all saw it coming. Why didn’t they act on that and try to avert all of this destruction? In sum, why is the state apparatus not doing anything to keep bombs from falling on their cities? (Israel does try to minimize losses from missiles falling on its own people – Teheran doesn’t. Why is that so?)
 
- Another example is being logical. Being rational.
 
And because these things are usually easier said than done, most of us are involved in one or more of these systems of spiritual growth, just to try to get there rather sooner than later in our lifetimes.
 
But this is group 3. I’m not talking about 1 and 2.

What does taking responsibility for yourself, and being logical and rational, have to do with any supernatural aspect of the world that is different than doing so under the assumption of naturalism?
