One should also question/wonder why if the spirit realm is better/greater/higher and the life/state on earth is worse/lesser/lower; there exists possession. The entry & control of spirit of human body. Why would one in a better place/state seek to enter a worse place/state as if there was human(higher being) who sought to become an insect(lesser being).
You've brought up a point that refutes the central thesis of Gnosticism and other esoteric pagan cults. They hold that matter is fundamentally evil and spirit is fundamentally good, but this is manifestly false when you consider the existence of hell, fallen angels (i.e. devils), demons, possessions, accursed souls of the dead, etc.

Both matter and spirit are capable of being either good (according to their original design) or evil (fallen and dysfunctional). The two modes of existence (matter and spirit) are complementary and unified, rather than in a dialectic tension with one another, as Gnostic heretics claim.

You arrive there through a strange way Liberal Maxie, but I agree. If you are a Dualist and believe in good and evil (which is pretty much a prerequisite for Christianity), then it becomes fairly obvious that both the physical and the spiritual world contain both good and evil, pain and joy, sin and virtue.

For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things. If not so, my firstborn in the wilderness, righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad. Wherefore, all things must needs be a compound in one; wherefore, if it should be one body it must needs remain as dead, having no life neither death, nor corruption nor incorruption, happiness nor misery, neither sense nor insensibility.

Wait. Different cult.

Depends on what you mean by "dualism". If you're referring to the idea that good and evil are two different and opposite substances, then Christianity unequivocally rejects this heresy, and this sort of dualism comes from Hellenic paganism and not from Christianity. Evil has no substance of its own, it is merely a privation of good.

Can't we get a Liberalirium?

A place we can use as a containment chamber for the current Liberal iteration while we wait for him to pay for the access to GD. That way, he won't be constantly shitting all over Site Feedback.

Come on, do you really want LIBERAL to be the thing that new users see whenever they say "hey, I wonder what's the feedback on this site"?

I see this place as a venue to talk about RPG's. Mostly because there's only a few places I know where there's such a concentration of cRPG enthousiasts.
There's a gazillion other places out there where people will gladly write slightly incoherent 5000-word monologues on politics and whatnot, so I don't think that's the allure of the codex (at least it isn't for me).

Why exactly do you think the RPG Codex is popular while censored shithole sites are not?

These """people""" unironically deserve death. They are a cancer in our society. That pic perfectly encapsulates clown world, a bunch of phone brained zoomers sitting in an auditorium, state enforced cuck masks positioned uselessly on their chins (not that they are any more useful when worn "properly"), one of them is dressed as a transvestite giving his 50 year old teacher a lap dance.

And Then, One Day, For no Reason at All, People Voted Hitler Into Power

The reason the people voted for Hitler is clearly explained in the science books about race.

White people voted for Hitler because they are born evil.

Please stop denying the science and educate urself.

I will offer Kruno's soul to either A DEITY or THE VOID at 666 posts: come claim it with your best arguments, Zibniyat, InSight, Fedora Master

My friend InSight is high on Byzantine incense and unable to participate.
Wise Zibniyat offered a moderate, peaceful take.
Kruno's soul now belongs to the godless void and Fedora Master. Enjoy your nightly rape, Fedora Master!

Stop projecting your anime induced homolust.

he grunted, between screams, as Kruno's strong Hebrew hands held him mercilessly down and enriched his 40% Turk DNA with the seed of Israel.

"PLEASE SPARE ME, JES..." he blurted out in pain, before stopping himself, recalling he's atheist.
"HELP, RICHARD DAWKINS!" he shrieks.

To his surprise Dawkins appeared and told him "Don't worry, I will help you out alright." while he unzipped his pants and a lewd grin appeared on his aged Emma Watson lookalike face. The sopping wet sounds of meat slapping against meat could be heard all the way to kāmadhātu for aeons as Kruno had his fill.
