Thank you, Corey!! You made my day! Now I'm going to make yours.
In Bhakta Corey’s latest hilarious “liberals are all evil” rant entitled “Liberalism is a mental illness” he writes:
But the liberals want to make everyone equal. The result is that the women become prostitutes and everyone goes to hell.
this made me so happy.
thanks, Corey.
Everyone is equal, buddy.
Here, check this out…
The humble sage, by virtue of true knowledge, sees with equal vision a learned and gentle brahmana, a cow, an elephant, a dog and a dog-eater [outcaste].Purport
A Krsna conscious person does not make any distinction between species or castes. The brahmana and the outcaste may be different from the social point of view, or a dog, a cow, or an elephant may be different from the point of view of species, but these differences of body are meaningless from the viewpoint of a learned transcendentalist. This is due to their relationship to the Supreme, for the Supreme Lord, by His plenary portion as Paramatma, is present in everyone’s heart. Such an understanding of the Supreme is real knowledge.As far as the bodies are concerned in different castes or different species of life, the Lord is equally kind to everyone because He treats every living being as a friend yet maintains Himself as Paramatma regardless of the circumstances of the living entities. The Lord as Paramatma is present both in the outcaste and in the brahmana, although the body of a brahmana and that of an outcaste are not the same. The bodies are material productions of different modes of material nature, but the soul and the Supersoul within the body are of the same spiritual quality.
The similarity in the quality of the soul and the Supersoul, however, does not make them equal in quantity, for the individual soul is present only in that particular body whereas the Paramatma is present in each and every body. A Krsna conscious person has full knowledge of this, and therefore he is truly learned and has equal vision. The similar characteristics of the soul and Supersoul are that they are both conscious, eternal and blissful. But the difference is that the individual soul is conscious within the limited jurisdiction of the body, whereas the Supersoul is conscious of all bodies. The Supersoul is present in all bodies without distinction.
You might want to pay the most attention to:
“As far as the bodies are concerned in different castes or different species of life, the Lord is equally kind to everyone because He treats every living being as a friend yet maintains Himself as Paramatma regardless of the circumstances of the living entities.”
So maybe if you focus on things like, you know, spiritual stuff, you might finally get this. But as long as you’re focusing on materialistic designations like “liberal” and “conservative,” what advancement can you possibly make? I really don’t know, I’m asking. Maybe you can become the sadhu you think you are by focusing on these materialistic designations. Who knows. However, Srila Prabhupada seems to think a bit differently.
Oh, and you may want to check this out.

I think Bhakta Corey should try reading Prabhupada’s books a bit more.

Of course, since we are westerners, generally we have been brainwashed into this myth of “equality without any discrimination whatsoever” from the day we are born.
Here is a common sense answer to your present post:
If everything is equal, why don’t you go embrace and kiss a poisonous snake?

I didn’t say everything was equal. I said *everybody* is equal.
So does the gita.
I’m going to go side with the gita on this one. Smell ya later, buddy.

Everybody is equal? Is that why Krishna says in the Gita that I create this system of the four varnas? Because everybody is equal? If everybody is equal, why do some people have the qualification of brahmins, whiles others have the qualifications of sudras?
The idea or concept of equality is a complete illusion. Even in the spiritual world, there is variety, distinction. Krishna has His own mother and father. It’s not that “everybody is Krishna’s mother and father”.
You said “smell ya later”. Why, what a mature comment we would expect of someone who has been performing devotional service for over 10 years. As I have told you in the past, perhaps it is time that you got a little bit serious about spiritual life and took diksa within ISKCON.

Also, the verse you quoted, here is a verse from Bhagavatam where Prabhupada quotes it in the purport:
sb 7.12.10 p
“The humble sage, by virtue of true knowledge, sees with equal vision a learned and gentle brāhmaṇa, a cow, an elephant, a dog and a dog-eater [outcaste].” (Bg. 5.18) On the spiritual platform, the learned person not only gives up the duality of man and woman, but also gives up the duality of man and animal. This is the test of self-realization. One must realize perfectly that the living being is spirit soul but is tasting various types of material bodies. One may theoretically understand this, but when one has practical realization, then he actually becomes a paṇḍita, one who knows.”
But what does Prabhupada say after this? Let’s see…
“Until that time, the duality continues, and the conception of man and woman also continues. In this stage, one should be extremely careful about mixing with women. No one should think himself perfect and forget the śāstric instruction that one should be very careful about associating even with his daughter, mother or sister, not to speak of other women.”
So, your concept of equality is thrown right out the window (unless of course you are actually on the stage of spiritual realization, which I highly doubt). And then after that, Prabhupada says:
“Unity in variety is real knowledge, and therefore giving up variety artificially does not reflect perfect knowledge of monism. According to the acintya-bhedābheda philosophy of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, there are varieties, but all of them constitute one unit. Such knowledge is knowledge of perfect oneness.”
So, there is indeed variety. It is not that “everything is equal, everything is one”. To try to discard discrimination and distinction is simply mayavada philosophy.

Everybody *spiritually* is equal. That is all I’m saying. That is all I have been saying. Disagree if you want, I honestly don’t care. You are not worth my time.
Have a good day.
Or don’t.
I don’t really care.

Everyone is spiritually equal, but you are not qualified to see on that level. Do not try to mix materialism and spiritualism to try to justify material equality in the name of spiritual equality.
If I am “not worth your time”, as you say, then why have you taken the time to write articles against me, attempting to refute my points?

Rephrase – you are no longer worth my time. This was written in March. MARCH. You did a little google search on “Bhakta Corey” to find what people are saying about you (saw it in my stats). Seriously get over yourself. So long.
