Stop. I was not speaking to you.
Sure you were:
So what do you see as the next step?

That was directed at Sacrophagus, you can see that above.
That wasn't his quote, it was mine. See post #96 for details.
Post #95, please go and see who posted that. Post #97, please go and see who posted that. Neither of those posts are from you.

The second quote from Post #97:
...is clipped from the first sentence of Post #96. That wording is found no where in post #95 which means you quoted my post #96, deleted everything (including my name) except:
...and then claimed it was someone else's post when I replied to it. That quote-hustle took a fairly good amount of effort, but transient global amnesia isn't out of the realm of possibilities, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.
Thanks for contributing.
Quote-hustle is simply the multi-quote function - available to each and every person posting on this forum. Takes no effort, other than a single click.
Goy?
Aww, Flavia took down his post with his ravings about the Khazar empire (which didn't really address the fact that the narrator of the video has some interesting issues, to say the least). Shame. I would have had fun with that.
I'll just say that I see lots of Arabs that look like Jews and vice versa. And you have blond and red-headed Arabs, too.
Thank you, Julius. Please pray for my girlfriend and I that we are able to maintain our celibacy until marriage. Lust is especially a weakness of mine and I can use all the help I could get. Thank you, and God bless! May you and your family never see harm and keep you under His protective wings. Amen ðŸ™ðŸ¼
I'm quoting this so you don't delete this one, also.
THOT
That’s fine. Take screen shots, too if you have that option on whatever device you’re on. I deserve the name calling for I am a sinner. The worst one of all.

I agree. But the engagement he is getting is minimal. I'm sure he knew this before he posted the thread and already said...
So the neutral approach doesn't work. The moral superiority approach doesn't work. The engagement on the topic is minimal and somewhat hostile (mostly due to the moral superiority aspect). So what do you see as the next step?
Part of the purpose of this thread is that the "neutral ground" approach isn't working, obviously. If it was, this thread and/or the video in the OP wouldn't have been made.
Now, by all means if you do have a spiritual worldview with which to approach this topic, please share it. That was my point originally when it seemed like we got off on the wrong foot earlier in this thread. Please forgive me for being so cryptic in my messaging.
Approaching these symptoms scientifically (pharmacologically and psychologically) is considered "neutral ground" by those who hold to materialist metaphysics. A few pages back, I considered that we should be approaching these symptoms spiritually. The reason I'm approaching it through my worldview (Christianity) is because I am Christian, and that there is already a wealth of information and historical precedent in dealing with issues discussed in this thread within Christian history. It's actually quite a significant part of the Orthodox doctrine.
One of the main aspects of a religion that does not seek to control and subdue the masses to its will is to provide solutions to humans' problems.
Science, philosophy, and learning about the world through a neutral lens to find the existence of God in the details and trials was the path of the teachers who looked at themselves as students of life, and not as preachers.
"Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports.... It is substantially true that virtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular government." - George Washington's Farewell Address
“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.â€
