does not the things in the beliefs ultimate lead to the destruction in any way of our species?

just trying to obtain understanding.
If you're talking about LHP beliefs then no... They're simply the destruction of mindless servitude, merit-less value, spineless fears, guilt paradigms, and world-views that can only be described as psychosis.
I find great irony that the free world is basically beholden to an imaginary friend that seems no realer to me than Santa Claus whom seems to at least in one's youth to be a similar creature. If you do what this Jehovah figure demands than you will go to heaven, but if you don't you will get kicked off some ledge and end up in the hell pit (no presents for you baddie!) . Unfortunately, what this 'god' character wants always seems to sound a freaking hell of a lot like whatever the person talking about him wants just like the bs that parents tell children so they will cooperate with them about Santa.
Look at the LHP as more of a human potential movement.
Its potential is possibly more expansive than that of the other more recognized philosophies, but then again it could turn out to be a total failure and completely annihilate everything.
Depending on how it is interpreted and applied, yes. However society does need some structures of which the LHP lack. If anything was applied to mankind from the LHP en masse it would probably be a synthesis of the LHP and a humanistic RHP. Society running from a purely LHP view is pure anarchy, and isn't possible since most people can't handle the bare truth of mankind and wouldn't be able to control themselves without some form of forced restriction.
Order versus freedom... not everyone has the sense to be responsible with their freedom. So to stop absolute and utter chaos and violence some freedom must be sacrificed for the sake of stopping everyone from murdering each other, raping and pillaging the neighborhood, blowing up people they don't like, or being psychotic drivers. Imagine how terrible the roads would be without traffic laws!
I don't have beliefs, I have thoughts. I try my best not use the word belief ordoes not the things in the beliefs ultimate lead to the destruction in any way of our species?
Well it is a complicated situation. In theory the LHP is about betterment of our species, which is pretty much as close to destruction and hitting bottom as it can go. The philosophies are based around individuality, evolution, freedom, etc. The problems we face mainly arise from heirarchy, power, control, enslavement, demonization, and so forth. The problem is that, in general, the LHP is as dogmatic, silly, and unevolved as we view the RHP. It dogmatically enforces individuality, it enslaves you to its freedom, stuff like that. Look through this DIR and you will find equally disturbing content, dogmatic thought, primitive concepts, reason abandoning philosophies, etc as in a fundy Christian DIR.
I'm preparing for some other LHPers to rip my face off, that happens when you stand out against dogma. My ideas contradict the generally set values of the LHP. They know how I feel and why I rarely come into the DIR anymore.
I'm not the one who contradicts it. It's not hard to find the coughed up Satanic Bible quotes, the theistic beliefs, the comfort over truth ideas on this DIR. I couldn't care less about people challanging my ideas, that's how you learn. But when I want blind faith, holy text quote flung at me, rejection of kbown science... I can get that plenty of other places.
Ha, inexperienced tone. You'd think I was having a discussion with a Christian and their childish little jabs.
We have huge LHP organizations with religious text, highly quoted as mentioned.
Orias, you yourself denied the truth of bi-polar disorder, known factual science! What's next, evolution is a hoax as well?
I am well aware of who I am speaking too, and how much more experience I have than them.
A wise person judges his meal off how filling it is, and not its taste.
We have CoS, ToS, Order of the Phosphorus, many many more that I couldn't care less about looking up.Where?
You specifically saidI didn't deny the truth of bi-polar disorder, I denied its basis for excusing one of their competence.
Bipolar is a nonexistent disease just like ADHD or schizophrenia.
