In christianity, there is virtually no logical reason for some people to be worldly hedonists chasing after worldly wants and satisfying their worldly desires while a handful dedicate themselves fully to God and self-abnegation other than "But God told Noah to have sex therefore I can fuck my sexy wife and play in the world!"
Also, tge world would be prettier as a smoking pile of rubble and my face upon seeing it would look something like this.

Yes I'd say you're right on the money.

False dichotomy between unrelenting hedonism and absolute monasticism

Idk nigga, who gives a shit, just do what you want (try not to hurt others tho)

Why?

Literature?

>>24579211
It seems reasonable

How so? Pain is much more beneficial than pleasure and it is a real shame it has to be so unevenly distributed.

Everything requires suffering. On the other hand:

inflicting pain on others arbitrarily is not good though and should be avoided in the same way hedonism should be avoided

>>24579459
Pain is gonna come anyway, so you can do whatever you want and solve your pain in the meantime. You can't escape pain effectively anyway.

Mental retard. All kikestians believe they are saved no matter what they do, same with kikes they both have muh unbreakable covenant with god. They are the worst hedonists on earth.

Just stop. You are moving the goalpost, thus embarrassing yourself.

>>24579620
My nigga, that's just pain in the pursuit of pleasure. Like everything in life has pain adjacent to it, doesn't mean pain = better.

>>24579207
This anon is talking about not inflicting pain on others.
>>24579801

>>24579658
I agree.
>>24579537
Pain demands an explanation. Makes you realize uncomfortable truths. Brings up yh dreaxed "why" as Camus called it. Pleasure just numbs your mind.

>>24580895
The dreaded "why"*

>>24579927
Mayhaps. But it certainly means that pleasure = bad and that we should structure society in such a way as to make people experience the minimal amount of pleasure possible.

>>24579647
That isn't arbitrary. Inflicting pain on others while in the pursuit of pleasure is arbitrary though. And since your pleasure largely depends on other people in various ways, inflicting pain pain on others is unavoidable when pursuing desires. However, there are good and skillful desires which are aimed at pain and not pleasure. Inflicting pain on others is just such a desire. For they largely benefit the people involved who, being sinful, disgusting, and egotistical rats, rightly deserve all pain that comes their way. It's just a shame that this beneficial experience should be so unevenly distributed.

>>24579651
Very true. However, some people manage to effectively escape or nullify it and avoid the true weight of reality by sedating their minds with copious amounts of pleasure, which they gain by no real merit and solely via external fortune.

To be fair, an unrepentant hedonist would have to choose to love God, as it is the greatest pleasure ultimately, and a hedonist has to pick the greatest access to the most pleasure

Bad argument. Hedonistic actions feel good, it is animalistic to want to feel good and although we are human we are still animals. Christianity elevates humanity from the beasts by curtailing hedonism and warning of its dangers.
