Spiritualization of passions: human desires are spiritualized, castrated or denied, says that the church is guilty of this. Hostility arises from spiritualization of passions: the church does this in 2 ways: Make yourself the enemy: both methods are sick-minded b/c they put christians (or at least makes christians think they are) higher and more worthy than their enemy. Shows an unjustified sense of authority: solution: do not destroy your enemy. Love them as someone who contributes to the fact that you exist. Declining and ascending life: when you attack the root of passions, you attack the basis of life at the same time. Everything comes into existence though the power of his will.
