Faith and belief are not one dimensional binary scalars

Faith and belief have multiple definitions.  It is possible to believe something based on one definition but disbelieve the very same thing based on another definition.  There is also a matter of the possibility of considering qualitative vs quantitative measurements, one could say that belief in something is not all or none but one can grow or shrink in their degree of belief but even that is difficult to say because it doesn't seem proper to assign a number to it.

Bizarrely my belief in the existence of God has gotten less and less the more I study matters pertaining to God's existence likewise my faith as to which God or gods exist as opposed to other conceptions of the divine that do not fit reality is much less specific than it used to be.

None the less if I am not imagining the existence of God, I am more and more assured of my love for God and God's love for me and can tell that it such a God truly exists I am growing in my relationship with God.

Contemporary English Version
But if we say we love God and don't love each other, we are liars. We cannot see God. So how can we love God, if we don't love the people we can see?

Taxation doing evil so that good may result

Taxation is a necessary evil that I will gladly pay because it results in getting the services I want from other people even if I have to pay money to force other people to pay for the services I want.

King James Bible
And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.

Herbivores of other known species do not generally work for employers, plants grow on their own and they eat them.  Humans are fools who imagine the need for employment.  If a human sees a squirrel eating acorns from a tree it will not necessarily arrest it for vagrancy or trespassing or charge it rent or property tax or mortgage so the squirrel is free from the burden of employment but if a human goes into the wilderness to eat food especially if he grows crops there or makes a shelter who knows but that he maybe charged with vagrancy or some other law forcing him into employment.  In this specific way other animals are better off than humans for humans create numerous extra steps to get to food and shelter that are bureaucratic and not of real safety or life quality improvement in this way animals are more efficient than humans.  Do squirrels fear losing jobs?

The folly of worldwide open borders "anarchism"

If you can not agree to be peacefully divided you can not unite to fight the State and will surely continue to be conquered.

There is something  that most so called anarcho capitalists and so called anarcho communists seem to agree on and that is open borders.  But that is the one thing they should both reject if they wish for feasible peace and the hope to start even the smallest community let alone rule the world these crypto statists wish to dominate.

You can not force everyone to agree with you so open borders and a world monopoly of ancom or ancap will never work unless you kill all your critics like a fake anarchist.

Without closed borders how will you keep out statists and fake anarchists from a community of people that believe in the one true form of anarchy?  Since statists and fake anarchists outnumber real anarchists what can you do in the present without borders?  They could just walk inside your community through your lack of a border with guns in massive numbers and not shoot you so you are not allowed to attack them based on your ethics principles and then suddenly start attacking when they have a winning hand.  I am not saying it is impossible for a diversity of anarchist communities to defend themselves but when you claim to be the only correct way and have worldwide open borders it is not feasible to do anything unless you persuade the majority of the world which you can not without murdering dissenters.  The only feasible way to defend yourself is to allow communities to have borders and tolerate people with alternative economic belief systems within their own borders in order to avoid conflict over resource allocation between communities with fundamentally different beliefs.  If you just wish to barge into a community and force your preferences because you do not recognize their borders and you do not want to live according to their belief about what economic violence or theft is it will lead to violence.  Peace can not be achieved by what you believe is the only correct system on a worldwide scale and if you wish to impose it on everyone you are a statist.  You have to be arrogant and out of your mind to think if people were better educated they would embrace your way as the only correct way.  The fundamental difference between Statists claimed State territories and anarchist claimed community borders is Statists impose a one size fits all solution to a territory beyond those who wish to consent to it and no gaps of territory not claimed by a State exist in their minds.  And yes I am paradoxically implying a one size fits all solution of not forcing everyone worldwide into a single one size fits all solution.

False business vs government dichotomy

Ancaps say it is ok for businesses to do things that it would be wrong for the government to do but businesses receive government subsidies so the government can do horrible things in the name of a business doing such things not the government.

Why I am a everything denier

Whenever denying anything is punishable in order to know the truth I support at least proposing ideas that deny that which is forbidden to deny.  For when denying that which is true at least in a hypothetical form is outlawed, denying that which is false can be outlawed as well. You must propose hypothesis contrary to what you believe is true in order to have a track record of failure to disprove what you believe is true.

Fraudulent misuse of the word Church in Bible translations

Copyright Carl Janssen

This was in my drafts written at a unknown date during or prior to 2024

The word Church has been misplaced into Bible translations to justify the belief in the moral legitimacy of using a social institution known as a Church for purposes of undue influence.

The word Church is not in the Bible except as a improper translation.  It is used in place of Greek words found in the Bible that do not properly translate to Church.  It is not used in places where the word Church might properly appear although I am not sure they should even appear in those places I shall list due to how it is declined and in absence of a second word next to it.

Legislation as counterfeit morality

Many people whether than trying to live a moral life simply claim it something is legal according to legislation it is not morally wrong to do and if it is illegal it is morally wrong to do.  If something is required as a mandatory action by law they claim it is morally wrong not to do.  This simply can not be true in any morally coherent value system as there is nothing to prevent one law from contradicting another and in fact such contradictions frequently occur as such laws are voted on by people who possess irreconcilable moral value systems instead of a single person with a single coherent moral value system.

Nor is there any serious attempt to prevent contradictions with previous laws as no one has read all laws in the past before voting on current laws to check for contradictions.  The proper interpretation of such laws is very much so unclear as a series of judges may conclude different rulings about the application of such laws each over ruling a lower ranking judges deliberation not does the supreme court understand consistently as their voting is often not unanimous showing disagreement.

Furthermore which so called country has jurisdiction is highly disputed as in the case of revolutionary wars and civil wars in which  case any new government formed can not be morally obligatory to obey simply by being called the current government because the formation of the new government  hinged on it being morally acceptable to disobey another government.

How Osama Bin Laden won

When the United States pursued bin Laden, Bin Laden won the war on terror if he ever really planned to terrorise the United States.  When you consider how many resources were redirected to hunt down Osama Bin Laden that could have been used to save lives, the United States let more people die than Bin Laden ever murdered.  Also firefighters and soldiers that die collecting corpses that they believe are dead are not heroes they are just suicidal blind order followers who increase the body count.  Those who try to save the wounded who they believe are alive are different and can be heroes.

Government is like an imaginary friend who is a charismatic super villain

Government does not really exist except as a figment of people's imagination but it is like an imaginary friend that gets people into trouble if they hang around with it.  It seems like a super hero that can solve any problem but it is really like the most charismatic super villain ever.  It is charismatic because it uses a person's own imagination to persuade them into thinking it will give them whatever they want but actually it can provide nothing because it does not exist but believing it exists can get you into trouble when it effects your behavior.  The mind control powers of government are infectious because once someone tells someone else government exists people will use their own imagination to interpret what they see as evidence that exists in whatever way is most persuasive to them personally because they start persuading themselves it exists through imaginary logic that is fallacious in the most appealing way to them personally since their own mind is constructing it.
