Certainly not. But what rubbed me the wrong way is that it takes faith entirely out of the equation. It also place such great importance on the pagan rulers in the forming of the Jewish and Christian faiths. I think most believers make a much dimmer reading of his work than you: This is a...

I framed that very poorly. I would rather say that Nietzsches "explication" for how slave morality emerged in Judaism was very reductive. That he reasoned that the virtues in Judaism and Christianity, such as compassion, was glorified not for their own sake, but in a sort of spite of their...

I don't know enough about the guy to defend anything he says, but! This is related to what you two wrote earlier, that what he saw was a society that spoke of God but the words were empty. God was dead in so far that we had killed him though our hollow worship. Further, I find his...

This isn't directed towards the OP, who has an understanding of science that differ from mine, but to others. It's the 30 year old, single cell, lab based experiment. The cells get increasingly efficient at multiplying in the lab setting but then evolves in an unexpected way when it starts...

Please don't disrupt threads. If you have problems with how the [private] site is run you can do that in the proper section.

While I agree I think it was a poor example since apples are superior. Welcome back!

@Aupmanyav I'm so sorry for your loss

@Miken I'm enjoying the theology, but the history lessons are great!

I'm not Christian so it's not personal but I think these sort of comments are inappropriate here. This is the Abrahamic section and the topic does in no way concern the existence or non existence of divinity. If these are the topics you wish to express or explore there are other sections on this...

So many of your points are so completely warped and detached from the shared narrative. They are too many and too bizarre for me to try and argue against. If you, like Contrarian Deist, just assume that all authority are wrong or are lying than sure, what you say must be right. But besides your...

I see, 2020 was the good year...

Speaking as a non-Christian, it appears to me that you are attacking a caricature of catholicism and willfully ignoring the actual theology, this results in your argument not landing very well. Just an observation.

If it needed to be clarified, SWJ don't call themselves SJW, it's purely a pejorative term.

Why would I expect credit for it? It has been acknowledged, then comes the complexity. You do you, it doesn't make a good discussion though. We also don't support violence, racism or even cursing. What can be expressed is limited. Very, it has its own limitation set by the owners of it. I...

Oddly condescending, but ok. Since you seem so reluctant to acknowledge and complexity I present and are content to repeat the same mantra over and over again I will once again bow out of the conversation.

Here you go, I haven't seen it recently so it isn't fresh in my head. So if I'm going down this I should clarify my own view of the ideological spectrum I occupy. The idea that "we" are an ideology of tolerance is really widespread and I'm guessing it has to to that we are made up of and are...

Why would he!? Well, what did you call ContraPoints, an extremist? did and 1:40 long video on how it's a really stupid it can get and how it works. I'm sure she had a lot of reactions from that but the dislike on the video is a fraction of the likes. EDIT: called Canceling, posted in January

There was a lot of " " there, but I'm assuming that those were all quotes? I think that there is a lot of fair criticism to direct at any ideology, but this thread and you @RJM Corbet seem to conflate a lot of concepts like 'social justice', 'wokeness' and 'cancel culture' and then put them...

Oh great, Sweden is already culling their minks, because that's what they were going to do anyway...yaaaay...
