This is supported by Biblical readings. The order to be fruitful, to multiply, and to subdue the earth was an order to be productive, to produce abundance from scarcity, and to do these to continue God's creation. This phrase orders us to engage in capitalism and, by extension, to build civilization, to maintain it, and to be prosperous.
This describes the purpose behind why God gave us life, liberty, and property (pursuit of happiness).
We're givin a blueprint to do just that... Through God's commandments.This is how we maintain a civilization, to maintain our prosperity, and to maintain our freedom.
God gave us a warning. We follow his commandments, we enjoy his blessing. We fail to follow his commandments, we end up cursed. We see this with countries that reject the principles that our founders embraced.
In fact, our founders designed a system that made sure that we followed God's intent/blueprint.
Note also that their ideological beliefs directly contravene all of the above: homosexuality, materialism, divorce, feminism, disrespecting your parents and accusing them of having ‘outdated beliefs’, focusing on egotistical urges like ‘mental health’ and ‘happiness’ instead of productivity and fruitfulness, submission to your vices, allowing moneylenders to profit off of you and your people; and so many more!
Just to clarify a point, mental health isn't necessarily an egotistical belief when we're talking about trying to keep a schizophrenic rational, or evening out the mood swings of a bipolar, or helping someone suffering from depression through the lows when the world turns grey.
I’m sorry to have to give you a downvote brother, but we must resist the urge to take the communist’s ideas and encourage others to believe them.
Mental health is a lie. Obviously feeling sad is a part of life, but a life filled with honest productivity is the only way to happiness. Note that ‘honest’, that’s the important part.
Happiness is a result of fulfilling your obligations and contributing to your community with honest effort. This is all literally stated in the bible. Honesty is a huge part of resisting the urge to use vices to give you a false sense of happiness. And it’s also an important part about contributing to your community (you may feel happy by gaining vast sums of wealth as a moneylender, but your dishonest work will ultimately lead to your own internal unhappiness. Replace moneylender with anything else that’s degenerate or useless in a productivity-sense.)
Also emphasized heavily in your bible is the importance of emotional maturity and dealing with the hypocritical thoughts that all humans experience. (As an example, if somebody disrespects you, the urge to murder them is strong, but you must overcome that urge because it is you that will pay the ultimate price when you must live the rest of your life with a guilty conscience. Or consider vices like procrastination or narcotics or materialism, all of which give a an easy hit of ‘happiness’ but ultimately, they are a waste of your time and do nothing other than waste your money and prevent you from spending that time being productive and contributing to your community.) Another part of maintaining your ‘mental health’ is also related to ‘honest effort’: after periods of honest effort, the bible encourages you to relax and party and enjoy your leisure time. Religious holidays codify that idea by mandating that everybody gets to chill out for a few days every few weeks, in addition to the weekly weekend/sabbath where we have at least one entire day to spend in the loving warmth of our families.
The bible also warns against believing propaganda that could insert thoughts thst could make you believe ways that you are unhappy, that you’d never have imagined by yourself in a properly functioning society. The bible brings this topic up in a number of ways. By warning against doubting your elders’ advice. By warning that, while we should aspire to be welcoming and friendly to strangers, we should not believe everything a stranger says entirely. But particularly by discouraging idolatry. Idolatry as a notion is much misunderstood thanks to decades of propaganda (ironically) but it’s basically an expanded form of not believing weird things that strangers may tell you, expanded to something that your entire population or social circle may hear. Stuff like: Celebrity A says “we need to stop global warming!” Celebrity B says that “faggots are people too and they should be championed instead of viewed as subversive!”. Celebrity C says “we should all throw out product and spend our money on new-product!”. Celebrity D says “I hate life, why am I always so sad, aren’t you always depressed too?”. Negative thoughts like these are entirely artificial and the bible urges people to recognize that fact and to raise their kids to distrust and resist anyone who tries to make them believe stuff like this. One huge problem with our cut propagandized world is the amount of cognitive dissonance that people experience: that is, a belief that one thing is good even though it directly contradicts another one of your beliefs. In a society without subversive propaganda, people work, raise families, party during leisure time, and surround themselves with trustworthy friends. In our current propagandized society people (libtards) are encouraged to support wars despite their pacifist nature, to distrust close friends in case they are MAGA, to distrust their parents and grandparents who they’d ordinarily look up to with respect, neglect to stay informed about or worry about anything other than the MSM’s ‘concerns of the week!’, ingest and believe all sorts of fear-porn, and so on. Many such cases!
The only way to resist propaganda is to distrust the source. The best way to do this is to be sceptical about everything that you hear, especially information that you are not equipped to verify by yourself. Propaganda literally only works when the victim trusts the source. (Which is why the propaganda in the media and the propaganda spouted by teachers are especially criminal: because some people inherently trust the media, and children’s brains aren’t even fully formed yet so they inherently trust their teachers even though they’re, for the most part, too young to even decide whether they should trust or not.)
All of the above is literally all a properly functioning brain requires to be happy.
Everything the left says about mental health is so subverted and false that it’s a disgrace. Particularly the idea that people who get brainwashed into believing artificial thoughts should actually be treated as we would treat normal people. It’s all a ruse to divide your society and claim power over the population.
As for your meme edge-cases: bi-polar and schizophrenia. Yes, some people’s brains are physically injured. That is sad. But that does not mean that a physically injured brain is in any way equivalent to a normally functioning brain that has simply absorbed artificial thoughts.
Look, that was a long read, I hope you got my point. Please don’t believe libtards have anything relevant to say. We don’t need them. Their ideas about mental health are barbaric. We need you to resist the urge to believe that maybe the libtards are right about something because they’re not. And believing so will ultimately hurt you, but worse, it’ll hurt our movement. They can’t be given any inch or they’ll take a mile. Particularly on this very specific point because in this case they really are very wrong and deluded. They’ve effectively turned the innate human strive for internal happiness and subverted it into a myriad of vices that are noting but detrimental to anyone dumb enough to fall for their tricks.
Mental illnesses ARE real. You are a horrible ignorant science denier if you think they aren't.
I do believe most leftists lie about their mental illnesses to play the victim, but people like me are NOT lying. We do suffer from depression, anxiety, etc. And it's not fucking fun. I never used to want to wish this suffering on anyone, but lately I do. People like you will never understand what we have to go through until you experience it yourself. It's the only way for you to change your ignorant views.
"egotistical"... this is an idol. Doing what excessive pride drives one to do is "worshiping" the lord of pride. People that do this usually violate one or a combination of God's commandments. When they displace God, they are placing themselves in the place of God... Effectively munching on the fruit of forbidden knowledge (pride based definition of right and wrong).
The communist regimes claim that they worship no god, but that's false. They worship an idol of their own making.
Congress passed the Northwest Ordinance in 1787 offering land grants for public schools, saying "Religion, morality, and knowledge being necessary for good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means for education shall ever be encouraged."
It's almost like Religion is important to our founding or something.
It definitely is. :D Our Founding Fathers were familiar with what was in the Bible, and understood the connection between God's commandments and "being blessed"... Having a free and prosperous society.
God's first commandment, the part about having no strange gods before him, was an acknowledgement that there were idols/gods that had different rules... That if we were to remain free, we will do what God wants us to do at the expense of what one or a combination of these idols/gods would have us do.
God's commandments are basically our "instruction manual" on how we could remain free and prosperous (blessed).
One connecting statement between the Bible, and the Constitution, is a statement made in the Declaration of Independence... About life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness being rights given to us by God. These three could be traced to verses in the Bible.
This was Benjamin Franklin’s firm conviction and he personally supported many churches of different denominations. He saw churches as crucial institutions. And for all of the Founders who weren’t Christian you still find a respect for Christianity. Even noted skeptic deist Jefferson realizes the moral teachings of Christ endured as sublime truth. “Jefferson’s Bible” was simply stripped of anything supernatural and miraculous.
Once a large portion of the population has almost no conscience it’s really game over.
Jefferson said he was a Christian. This large portion of the population with no conscience are the ones that have abandoned humanity, are domestic enemies of the Nation, and
That's easy. Take the mandatory vaccine without question, and sign onto the great reset which forfeits all right to own property for the rest of your life. If we don't like them apples we need to be heroes before Biden gets inaugurated.
And then move to a Red state after the people you voted for made your city into a junkie-filled shithole with rents that nobody can afford. And then? Then you bitch and moan about how awful it is that your new neighbors didn’t get vaccinated so you vote Blue to bring in politicians who’ll force vaccination on everyone!!
Soon there won’t be any Red states left. Just junkie-filled shitholes that nobody can afford to live in.
All it takes is knowing humans are humans, meaning flawed. The rest is just common sense. We would be far better off following these values, but there’s many religious and non religious paths to that answer!
In short, don’t be a dick and don’t think you’re perfect... that would solve a lot.
You might not personally be religious, but unless you’re ethnically Asian, everything good in your civilization was created, sustained, nurtured, and passed on by Christians and Christianity.
I’m not religious at all but it’s obvious this country was much better off when we followed Christian values.

Celebrity culture is effectively idolatry too.
And that’s not even mentioning their atheism.

They may mean transtrendism or faking having a mental illness. Seeing a vice as a virtue. Aka Tumblr.

If I remember correctly 1/4 women in the US are on antidepressants, and I'm guessing that's not the conservative women with a loving family.

How’d they do in the Vote Count?
Dispooted
That's easy. Take the mandatory vaccine without question, and sign onto the great reset which forfeits all right to own property for the rest of your life. If we don't like them apples we need to be heroes before Biden gets inaugurated.
How exactly does one “sign onto” it?
Forfeit your property? Your home etc?
