Re: Social Acceptance vs. Self Acceptance

The part I was referring to specifically was "there are no half-measures in rejecting self-loathing"

I'll defer to the Patriarch of Venice:

Mark 9 [NIV] :

43 If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the fire never goes out. [44]

45 And if your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two feet and be thrown into hell. [46]

47 And if your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell

A hand of self-loathing, a foot of self-loathing, an eye of self-loathing, they will cause you to stumble one day.

And very surely if you don't amputate them hell will arrive next.
