danielpbarron: ;;later tell mircea_popescu gpg-gram : http://danielpbarron.com/church.asc.txt
gribble: The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron good work. so the practical question here is, would you be personally interested in running a us tmsr church ?
mircea_popescu: jurov lol why are they dressed in gay suits ?!
danielpbarron: not if i have to seriously worship a false god or something. Or lie about worshipping one. If I have full control of the doctrine and what is taught (strictly The Bible, specifically as it is interpreted by Darwin Fish on atruechurch.info) then I might be interested
shinohai: but conjuring demons is fun.
mircea_popescu: well, on one hand certainly one can't have a church worshipping a false god ; as far as practice goes you can't have full control of the doctrine cuz it being a church, it has to have a metaphysical component.
danielpbarron: in the sense that God causes everything, nobody has "full control" over anything, but I mean my control vs yours or anyone in here -- say if you wanted me to teach something that contradicted The Bible
mircea_popescu: well... nothing right can contradict rigthness, all right things are one. so in principle they shouldn't.
jurov: you can always use the simulation loophole, like "even some atheists say that we live in simulated universe, so it's likely God saved cycles and really started the sim for 6400 years ago, and other things Bible says likewise"
shinohai: if elected as leader danielpbarron, do we have to worry about you using tmsr funds to build a giant ark, or anything of that sort? :D
mircea_popescu: but more practically : at issue is the theological consideration of whether [so far mostly unstated] tmsr.theological-doctrine actually does or does not contradict the form of christianity you were importing there
mircea_popescu: (with which i'm personally not too familiar)
mircea_popescu: exploring this a little will certainly be beneficial, if for no other reason then because it'll force statement of the foregoing
danielpbarron: shinohai, God promised us that He would never again destroy the world with a flood (Genesis 9:11) so no ark is necessary
mircea_popescu feels pretty flooded in buterins.
mircea_popescu: arguable i guess if it's actually destroying the world or just making it smell bad
shinohai: perfect rebuttal (and actual biblical logic!) danielpbarron
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron theology aside for a moment, there's three major components in my mind here.
danielpbarron: my form of Chistianity does not forbid: drinking, drugs, gambling, slavery -- but it does forbid: adultery (taking another man's wife), murder (unjustified killing), homosexuality (sorry jurov), fornication (probably the biggest sticking point)
a111: Logged on 2016-01-03 13:08 mircea_popescu: but seriously - a dozen kegs is what ? nothing, for the finance almighty republic. get a dozen sluts to shirtoff with the kegs, it's a go.
mircea_popescu: next time something like that blows up, i'd much rather there's a whole church apparatus ready to go, rather than having to fish random people from portland for the purpose.
mircea_popescu: another is that, well, its a much better way to hold real estate than anything alf came up with to date. since he's decided he's not moving because he's ax-crazy or something, this is the logical next step
mircea_popescu: having a nice party house somewhere, free if you're in the wot sort of thing, can't hurt anyone.
mircea_popescu: and thirdly - you go to porcfest, right ? next time, you can go properly, set up a donation and ecumenic drive.
mircea_popescu: so, sensible it is. whether it's workable or not hopefully can be resolved.
Framedragger: jurov: heh. bible as a list of optimisation heuristics for simulating the 'verse
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron back to theology : it's one thing to forbid, it's another thing to enforce. does it also forbid, say, sitting in a room with "known fornicators" for instace ? up to a point it'll be their sin - their problem.
jurov: Framedragger: yeah, the fornication takes up most of teh precious cycles
danielpbarron: not for a time, but it's not ok to "have fellowship" with known sinners
mircea_popescu: how are they to be helped then ?
mircea_popescu: obviously teaching is fellowship.
Framedragger: jurov: clearly. too much irreducible qualia, or sth
danielpbarron: and yeah, obviously I'm not gonna enforce the death penalty for adultery and whatnot, just teach that it is wrong etc..
danielpbarron: I can't pray with known unbelievers. Teaching is ok.
mircea_popescu: i suspect much more serious sticking points will come the other way. specifically, i suspect tmsr to be a larger intellectual force than whosoever darwin fish is, as a temporal rather than spiritual matter. consequently, the sticking point will not be inferences from him limiting us, but inferences from us driving him up the wall. for instance, obvious possible sticking point being that in tmsr doctrine, it is a sin to engage
mircea_popescu: in "group" charity.
danielpbarron: Darwin invites criticism via email -- see his contact page :D
asciilifeform tunes in, takes in this very promising lulfest
mircea_popescu: well, but i mean what exactly is the relation there. does it matter to the symbol "a true church" what the person "darwin fish" says ? where exactly is your loyalty there or how does this work ?
mircea_popescu personally couldn't give less of a crap about the entire thing other than it being in danielpbarron 's wot.
danielpbarron: I agree with his interpretation, and have met him and his family in person
mircea_popescu: so if he tomorrow says white people must paint their skin black, do you follow or schism or what ?!
danielpbarron: I'd compare what he said to what The Bible says (i'm sure he'd cite chapter and verse) and if I didn't think it checked out I'd challenge him on it
mircea_popescu: so is your agreement to the interpretation the turning stone ?
danielpbarron: yeah, we must agree or else one or both of us is on our way to hell
mircea_popescu: suppose you figured out, entirely correctly as far as you can tell, and otherwise irreducibly in any manner, that indeed white people must paint black. and he says that's ridiculous. what do you do now, give it up ? give him up ?
danielpbarron: I'm not against changing my mind -- even recently thought I had to repent of something, although it turns out to have been a bit premature
mircea_popescu: so in the end, we've very little to work on here. do you figure this fellow could be enticed to show up here sometime ?
mircea_popescu: and meanwhile - all teh wot peoples, please do consider the matter to the outreach of your abilities. were there a tmsr theology, what'd it say and what'd it look like ? what wouldn't it say and what would it not look like ? and why and wherefore.
mircea_popescu: for that matter - CAN there even be such a thing.
mircea_popescu: traditionally this matter is approached by naming "a commission" but we're blessed with numbers low enough to have direct archy!
danielpbarron: heh, really hard to say. I haven't been keeping in contact with him at all. Come to think of it I'd want to ask him ahead of time if he thinks registering a church with the USG is against the Word or not (he's not a big fan of USG -- prolly a plus)
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron at the very least the devil can't testify. who cares what the usg thinks you've done, nobody's liable to ask it, nor may it likely acquire a voice without losing itself.
mircea_popescu: (this is yet another, if rather central, reason why plea bargains are so powerful, and http://trilema.com/2015/heres-what-they-dont-tell-you-when-they-bring-you-those-papers-to-sign/ ) : i couldn't give less of a shit what usg SAYS you did or didn't do or whatever. but if you say it yourself, well...
danielpbarron: I used that to my advantage in getting a traffic ticket dropped recently: the cop tried to get me to show remorse, I said nothing, prosecutor threw it out
jurov: For one, i'd like to see aliens and Our Lady Eris in tmsr belief system. but sadly i don't think that would work.

mircea_popescu: sounds more like homebrew libertards
mircea_popescu: "oh, why can't we all get along, look, mouth harps!"
mircea_popescu: but fwiw, they have them in the ozarks, slovakia, you name it.
phf: mircea_popescu: i think that's an american take. in 90s russia mouth harps distinctly meant "these kicks are nothing, some people out there in chuchka land or whatever have been getting some serious kicks for a while now"
phf: it was part of the whole influx of alternative knowledge that was pretty inaccessible during su (or in any case was a thing for select few), so some people got into zen, others mouth harps and muhomors
