Job accuses God of either not listening or not caring.

A monk approaches a 1990s American teenager and aks: Tell me, how does one describe zen? The teenager raises her right arm, and says "Talk to the hand." And the monk was enlightened.

Admittedly that says very little about the historicity of the historical Jesus. But if I was too worried about historicity, I wouldn't be a Bible believer.

Throughout the synoptic gospels, Jesus identifies his personhood with the community that follows him. So the loving account of his life provided by his community is a direct extension of his personhood. Jesus as lived by the church IS Jesus of Nazareth.
Matthew Guertin@ghostowlredux
Currently thinking about how there is no good line of reasoning that isn't viciously circular (whatever the "orthodox" may claim) for thinking John's Gospel is an accurate reporting of what Jesus of Nazareth actually said and taught.

@M_Christianity @2Philosophical_ I keep looking for good fiction books to read, but so many things that claim to be novels aren't actually novels! I had the same issue with the carona virus.

There are professional exorcists with centuries worth of acquired knowledge and experience. Anti-AI technologies are nascent and ineffective.

St. Andrew’s University in Scotland has a centuries-old legend about a student who is struggling to write an essay, when the actual devil appears and hands him the essay fully written, if you were wondering how people in the past would have felt about cheating with AI.

The word God is simply too vague and broad to be negated as a whole. Certain gods may lead to certain atheisms
Natural Theist@AleMartnezR1
Is atheism a reasonable position? Why?

Many more recent liberation theologies have slowly moved away from personalist God-language. I utterly get this move. But it feels like taking away my best friend.
English
I often ponder what a loneliness liberation theology looks like.

Oh, also. I think some folks confuse subjective/objective dualism with mind/body dualism. These are extremely related issues, with lots of interlapping concepts. . . but there is a difference. (same with the materialism/idealism distinction)
English
And this isn't just a modernity problem. Philosophy was born struggling with this dichotomy.
English
Lots of folks challenge metaphysical dualism. Which I totally get! But some of these folks seem to practically ignore the distinction between objectivity and subjectivity. Even if you think there is a unity, there is at least a perceived difference between internal/external.
English
I do think there is a certain uniqueness in the Gospel of Christ that can't be found anywhere else. But I think that's quite a different statement.

I took that job to share my love for Scripture. Mostly I simply served as a shield against creepy religion.

I once had a co-worker who made students write 'There is no salvation outside the church' 10 times in English and Latin as a form of punishment.
Steve Skojec@SteveSkojec
I understand why people feel that they are obligated to believe and profess that “Outside the Church there is no salvation.” But why would anyone WANT to believe it? Do they have so little regard for the souls of non-Catholics?
