Is Jeff James the messiah? Is Jeff James the savior? What IS the savior? If it's one that actively attempts to saves others, then Jeff James the savior cannot be. If, however, the savior is one that simply exists, allowing those in need to save themselves, then that a savior Jeff James does make. This touches upon the teachings of Axel Hägerström. His studies into the quantifiable nature of justice may quite possibly be the essence of the subject at hand: "Words such as ‘right’ and ‘duty’ are basically meaningless as they can not be scientifically verified or proven. They may have influence or be able to direct a person who obtains such a right or duty but ultimately, if they can not stand up to a factual test, they are mere fantasies." Perhaps Jeff James' insistence upon choosing no face/heel affiliation is simply Hägerström's words in practice? Axel Hägerström is automatically disqualified from the discussion because he was heavily influenced by the Marburg school of Neo-Kantianism, which was a German invention. We need to look at this from purely Swedish metaphysics. I draw your attention to Swedenborgianism, whose central beliefs are: 1. That there is one God and that He is the Lord Jesus Christ. Within the single Person of God there is a Divine Trinity. 2. That a saving faith is to believe in Him and to live a life of charity. 3. That all evils originate in mankind and are to be shunned. 4. That good actions are of God and from God, and are therefore necessary for life and should be done. 5. That these good acts are to be done by a person as if from him/herself; but that it ought to be acknowledged that they are done from the Lord with him/her and by him/her. 6. That one's fate after death is according to the character one has acquired in life; specifically that those governed by the love of the Lord or the love of being useful to others are in heaven, and that those governed by love of self or the love of worldly things are in hell. Hypothesis: I propose that Jeff James is a metaphorical construct for the ideal Swedishborgian life in practice. Warrant: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedenborgianism

Wow holy fuck. I picked Sweden because I had Daniel Gildenlow as my poser and he's Swedish. This comment makes it painfully clear to not only I, but any and all philosophical observers, that you're a rank amateur who lacks the sophistication to handle such a complex persona. As we've delved more and more into this character in this very thread, to his core, Jeff James has revealed himself to be an exploration of Swedish philosophy at the most intrinsic and practical of levels. You, sir, are not qualified for the task of writing for such a phenomenon. I hereby declare I, Big Chief Fidel Cashflow, shall undertake the task of writing for the most important efed character in the history of modern times. To quantify my credentials, I quote the basis of the character itself, Swedenborgism: "Early missionaries also travelled to parts of Africa, as Swedenborg believed that the "African race" was "in greater enlightenment than others on this earth, since they are such that they think more interiorly, and so receive truths and acknowledge them." Being a man of African descent, I'm clearing the only option.

Good sir, I support your cause. While I do wish I was worthy to carry such a burden, I shall simply watch from the sidelines with quite awe as you delve into the depths of one Jeff James. I can only hope that you survive the task and carry this character to it's full potential. May Jeff James be with you.

Was this supposed to be funny? Because it wasn't.

A profile was turned into an unfunny mythological discussion resulting in another member claiming to take over the new kids character, and WE need to lay off?
Please, Freeman. Shut the hell up.

It actually was a very funny discussion, the line about taking over his character was clearly a joke albeit a hilarious one, and now they're just being attacked for no reason.

It's clear that Freeman has a horrible sense of humor if he found this idiotic exchange funny.
You're telling us to lay off yet you don't even know the two other guys. For the most part if you say anything even remotely negative (OR positive for that matter) they'll do their best to NOT lay off in every topic.
As soon as I saw that Freeman had replied to this topic I knew that he will always be completely against anything.

It was obvious the character claiming was a joke, which continues my point... that this entire thread was a giant failure of humor. Nobody but them, and Freeman apparently found it funny, and we all know how bad a sense of humor Freeman has.
