You can’t divide people into good and evil. In every scoundrel, you can find a particle of good and light deep within their dark soul. Similarly, a beast can awaken within a righteous person.
In my opinion, only God is perfect – He is the ideal and the guiding light; true good and perfection can only be found in Him.

P.S. I apologize if this doesn’t fit the topic, but I couldn’t help but express my opinion.

After your post, the topic can be safely closed.:cool:

Railag, my respect to you! HUGE RESPECT!!! I would also like to add that all races and peoples should live in peace and love each other, for God is love.

Hmm... if that were the philosophy of the heroes, then why are we fighting each other and taking resources from each other?

Death is the ultimate end; those who do not want to be like God, join us.

It all started so innocently, and now we've reached the point of promoting Christianity....

Hmm, that's interesting. Considering that the righteous go to Heaven after death, and the unrighteous go to Hell, you expressed it correctly. "Those who don't want to be with God, please join us as recruits, as ghosts, or in Inferno, where you will receive a warm... no, a hot... no... a BURNING welcome! As they say: everyone has their own Heaven and Hell ;)"

War is a necessity. Eternal peace kills much more effectively than the bloodiest war. In order to maintain the possibility of life on the planet during eternal peace, it is necessary to renounce procreation, pleasures, and everything else. Is that life? Wouldn't it be better to die with honor in battle, knowing that this will give your children the opportunity to live at least a little better?

War is a necessity. Eternal peace kills much more severely than the bloodiest war. In order to maintain the possibility of life on the planet in a state of eternal peace, it is necessary to abandon procreation, pleasures, and everything else. Is that life? Wouldn't it be better to die with honor in battle, knowing that this will give your children the opportunity to live at least a little better?

Is it good to die in an unequal battle, even for the sake of your children?

You have a strange logic. Why is war needed if no one will fight with anyone? There will be no diseases, no weeping. And there is no need to give up anything (except drugs, smoking, and excessive alcohol consumption;)), everyone will have everything: food and entertainment. And even the need for the undead will disappear. Souls will either find peace in the realm of eternal joy, or they will eternally suffer in unquenchable fire, in the land of eternal sorrow.
In general, you are reasoning like a well-fed person. The most terrible and meaningless of human creations is war. Have you ever been in a battle? ...Then don't rush to say that war is cool. Have you seen the movie "9th Company"? It doesn't even convey a tenth of the essence of war. Imagine a situation: an army of 15,000 people. Each has their own life, their own story. 15,000 stories. None of them wants to die, because each of them has a family. But all these people will inevitably die! Do you still think that war is necessary and cannot be avoided? I don't know if I managed to convince you of anything, but in any case, I tried.

Just as death is a part of life, war is a part of development. Imagine a world where no one fights, gets sick, or dies. How long would it take for an overpopulation crisis to begin? How long would it take for a crisis of boredom and indifference to begin? Death makes life worth living, and love makes it worth dying for. To perish in an unequal battle is far less frightening than to dissolve and disappear into a single, well-fed, content, and happy mass. It's easy to reason about such things while living in Moscow, but from Siberia, everything looks somewhat different and more frightening.

I'll tell you a secret: at the very end, there will be a great final battle between good and evil (read about the apocalypse). That is when, I think, everyone who desires bloodshed will finally have their fill of it. And as for what Siberia is—I know. My aunt lives there, and I know what wilderness and freezing cold are. Boredom sets in if there is nothing to do, but in Siberia, people WORK. After all, wars are truly started out of boredom. But in Heaven, there will be no boredom (otherwise, how could it be Heaven). The image of Heaven as a blooming garden is merely a symbol, an example showing that it is good there. For some, Heaven might be a library if the person loves to read; for others, it may be a quiet cell for prayers; and for some, Heaven will be a home where they and their family sit together at dinner. And this is what I'll tell you: you reason this way because you haven't been to Afghanistan, you haven't been to Chechnya, and certainly, you haven't been at Stalingrad. Ask any veteran: "do you like war?"

Counter-question: have you ever been to war? Have you ever woken up in the morning thinking, "Are we still Russia, or already China?" Have you ever felt that your fellow citizens are betraying and selling you out, and you can't do anything about it? It's better to die fighting for freedom than to live in constant fear. And there will never be a final battle. And there will be no Heaven. Because that will be the last point of development. After that, only existence will begin. When everything is good, it's already bad. Life is development, and if there is only one side, then it's not development, it's a swamp. And wars were never started out of boredom. I'm not for war, I'm against living in a swamp. Just like in Heroes: as long as the war goes on,

You're right about dying for one's homeland and faith. I tip my hat to you. But I didn't say that fighting is never necessary under any circumstances. When enemies attack your homeland, naturally you have to show them what's what so they don't try it again; I myself would gladly perish for such a cause (absolutely seriously). As for boredom and development—there are more interesting and humane ways to grow and keep from being bored. I am almost certain that for some, Heaven will be an arena where they will stand face-to-face with an opponent. Again, a clash, again victories and defeats, maybe even blood, but this time by own free will. Do you know how the Olympic Games began? The lands of ancient Greece were engulfed in endless wars. Most people didn't like them, but there had to be some way to settle disputes between kings and peoples, and besides, some means were needed to keep from falling into a depression. So the ancient Greeks came up with the Olympic Games, where every sport was a skill once used in war.

Comrades, you're here philosophizing about real war, not even fantasy war!
But I can't help myself:
AlexeyPank:
When the Motherland sends you to certain death and doesn't think about anything, that's called "the government doesn't care."

Nowadays, this is not far from the truth, but in general, if you care about the fate of your homeland, you won't be afraid to stand alone against a thousand.
