To: Salvation

My tolerance for pain is very high. I have been putting up with liberals for MANY years and have done nothing productive about causing that pain to stop.

Well, for one thing, there is a boatload more pain in the world than pleasure. Which is why we instictively seek pleasure!
It is religions’ “goal” to encourage ways of pushing us towards the problems and pains of short-term pain to get long-term gains.
Phrased another way, it is the goal of EVERY religion to encourage long-term salvation by fore-going short term profits and pleasures!
