I know that society has changed over time, but I don't see how this goes against my view. If you recall, in the thread of justice/morality/greatness, I said our views don't have to be perfect in tune with God's, but has some sort of relationship to it, and that the more we "twist" from it, or "go away from it", the more "condemned" we are. We have all sorts of reasons we go against that link to God that are not simply due to untainted judgement.
Quote:You seem to be in the throes of a naive and largely discredited Platonic idealism. If you're interested you might check wikipedia to see just how closely your point of view mirrors that one, and read the critiques it has received. It could change your point of view.
I will do some more reading, but I'm aware my views are very close to platonic idealism and even my mystic understanding of our perceptions is almost the same as platonic forms (the only difference is that I see the ideal form of everything is ONE reality and not many).
