All ideologies are corrupt, never mind corruptible.
I don't agree, because many people who invent an ideology have the best of intentions to be kind and selfless.However if you were to push me to name who I cannot.
Corruption and kindness are not mutually exclusive.

I not sure people set out to invent and ideology. I think ideals tend to emerge into ideologies, but "ideology" is most often intended as a word to indicate a situation when a set of ideals have broken through the barrier of reason, and has become a single lens through which people tend to see the world, blinkered.
Blinkered is better than blind :wink:

Dude. Jesus is already here, but he ain't gonna bother with this 'second coming' bollocks by revealing himself.. He hangs out with the sages, watching the world being run by morons.

If a sage is a wise man, nobody is a sage unless he is an active agent on behalf of good. This Evangelical belief that Jesus X will return and sort it all out is too fatalistic for safety.

yes. If Jesus revealed himself now...with the amount of global communication...pulling bread out of a basket by the million, making wine out of water on par with a Coonawarra shiraz, chaos would ensue..

The job of Christ is done. (fuck nose wot name he is using now.)
