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...

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.

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

I'm glad you're feeling better! I hope you have things set up so you can get well again!

I'm sure he'll wander in like nothings happened soon enough!

Hi Catholics and assorted Christians. I want to check out the Young Pope and heard it has received some backlash from Catholics. Not unheard of of course. But I'd like to keep this criticism in mind while enjoying the show. So, do we have some opinions we would like to share?

Treated, sure. "Fixt", rarely. Jupp, us* leftists are saying that there are resources to help people who can't help themselves and that we should expand on this. For the sake of the individual and the community. One could even call in "socialism" :o *only speaking for myself here

I just found this, so I'm just going to put it here with the rest of our musings.

@Old Faith It seems we have bogged you down with many political issues, but you're here to talk about your faith. What do you think is most important about the Old Faith, the first thing people should know. Are there many adherents? Do you have a relationship with the author of the book?

This turned political quick! Though I have no love for the President, I don't wish him sickness. I also hope he gets well soon.

Since we don't have someone representing the perspective of Chinese citizens.

I think this is so relevant. Language can potentially lose so much in translation. I don't know ancient Greek though, so I'll just have to trust authority on the issue.
