I am slightly surprised no one has asked you to at least clarify your post.
I thought I was quite clear.
I am hoping I read your post incorrectly.
Then it's no wonder you misunderstood.
The Great One is asking for help, and knows he needs it.
Yes, but help with what? What is The Great One's problem? This is important, because we can't help him unless we understand what his problem is. The majority of users so far have not addressed The Great One's problem, but have instead just shared stories about their own struggles with theology, religion, and family. That's all well and good, but it's also besides the point.
The Great One expressed himself rather clearly. His problem is whether eternal damnation awaits him in the afterlife for his sins. It's a frighteningly pragmatic concern: he basically wants to know whether he can get away with being a lying cheat. That's the problem he wants Typology Central to help solve--do you want to help him? I say, 'fuck you, The Great One, fuck you and your lying and cheating ways.'
If this isn't the problem The Great One wishes to address, if this is all just a big misunderstanding on my part, then I hope he can explain himself better next time.
Is calling him a sociopath or hoping that his ultimate fate (death) will come sooner, going to help him at all?
I explicitly said that I don't want to help him.
Trying to tell him to re-examine how his lies affected others and needs to have his own morality besides hell is a valid point.
Do you think he is ignorant of how his lies effect others? I doubt that very much. He was quite upfront about his actions, and he understands they're normally considered sins. He surely knows what it is like to be the victim of fraud and deception himself, so this is not an issue of not understanding. The Great One is just exhibiting behaviours and values associated with sociopathy. This is not to say he
is a sociopath--I only ever claimed that he
sounded like a sociopath.
But is not hoping for another's death not hypocritical against your point of having moral responsibility include others?
I was being facetious. But, in any case, it's not hypocritical. I don't think I have a moral responsibility to hope that The Great One lives a long life, especially if that's a long life of cheating and lying to people for his personal gain.
If The Great One died in the soon to be future, would you have been happy?
Happy? No. Uncaring? Yes. Just taking him at his word, he sounds like a parasite on society.
As a sidenote, there is a difference between amoral and immoral.
Yes, I choose every word I use with care. When I said 'amoral' that's what I meant.
