In a protracted struggle absent of physical suppression (torture) to engender a different epistemology, can voluntary and rational decision based on pragmatic outcome be justified on the basis of a long term tenable solution?

The struggle is within family units, close friends, elected and unelected governments and the people who elect them.

Taken from present legal correction institutions and non-physical behaviour that are deemed acceptable:

- Stigmatism, Isolation and Exile
- Fines and Jail

Coercion to remove enslavement to an identity that is deemed negative is moral.

In the sense that one’s passion to make other people live by one’s own values, can be more or less pronounced.

For lack of better phrase,“Might is right” if for the right outcome.

Kindly phrase in theories in the positive, as opposed to what is amoral or without.

Breaking the will of tribes to mold it into the betterment of the collective is generally the right unifying solution given the immediacy of an emergency.

- Say, thinking the "right way" as prescribed by an authority is the one and only right way. Perhaps all religion is wrong, secular society with science is the only way.
- Immediacy could mean a span of now to say, fifty years.

Choice of context (geographical, political, social boundaries) and issue of contention for illustration at your discretion.
(Religion as an example above is not mandatory, perhaps no smoking policy or suing for defamation.)

Kindly phrase theories in the positive, as opposed to what is not correct.

I'm not looking for a controversy, I just want to know where the closest message to Jesus' orginial intentions is to be found. It's clearly not in Catholicism. I mean the original ideals. In my understanding, Christ did not beleive in giant cathedrals and ecclesiastical nonsense and complex corrupt church "government". It seems like most of "Christianity" has gotten away from his original ideals. So where is the simplest, purest message to be found? The unfiltered Jesus with the love and tolerance, minus all the doctrine and dogma and intolerance. Gnostics? Greek Orthodox? Tell me where to look.

Is there something that you fear? If so, why do you fear it? Was it something that happened? Or, just a fear that has always been there.

Why am I one person out of millions that care? Why Do I cry when terrible things happen to my fellow human beings? Why is my heart broken more times then it is healed? I love to care and I love to love others, but why do I feel alone when it comes to giving a damn? We have all been put on this earth to make it better, but it seems to be declining? WHY?

We understand the concept of happiness because we have lesser emotions and feelings to compare happiness to, such as sadness, pain, regret, etc. But if badness and all these negative emotions ceased to exist, would happiness still exist, since we would have nothing to compare it to? Think of it this way: if there was no badness or evil from the beginning, would the concept of goodness and happiness exist?

Imagine a super intelligent alien race where to invade our planet, say Independence Day style. Now like in the movie we are able to beat them back and save our planet. Now obviously a large portion of the pop will have been killed in the process, but will those remaining find peace? Will the now undeniable knowledge that we are not alone in the universe be enough to bring about peace? Will race, creed, and color all disappear in the new idea that we are all but human and not this evil alien race?
