Revelation

Thomas believed that truth is known through reason (natural revelation) and faith (supernatural revelation). Supernatural revelation has its origin in the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and is made available through the teaching of the prophets, summed up in Holy Scripture, and transmitted by the Magisterium, the sum of which is called "Tradition". Natural revelation is the truth available to all people through their human nature and powers of reason. For example, he felt this applied to rational ways to know the existence of God.

Though one may deduce the existence of God and his Attributes (Unity, Truth, Goodness, Power, Knowledge) through reason, certain specifics may be known only through the special revelation of God through Jesus Christ. The major theological components of Christianity, such as the Trinity, the Incarnation, and charity are revealed in the teachings of the Church and the Scriptures and may not otherwise be deduced.[104]

@spaceplacenta from wikipedia

wasn't it the duty of an appropriate shepherd to shield his flock from such theological girthniess

He seems to suggest that divine wisdom is the path to God here

I have a seminary book on his metaphysics somewhere

most christians wouldn't be able to tell you about christianity

most real estate agents can't look after a house

Christians don't see nature as profane you oaf. They display a pervasive fear of the "nasty" biological realities of life/nature.

Most Christians do

The harsh nature of reality doesn't bode well

This is true for most people in general

As stated above

Most people are content gallivanting around

Shopping, talking about pop culture

They would see the bush people in the highlands of papua new guinea as profane

Well I mean keeping up with the Kardashians is infinitely more exciting than treking up a hill to stare at a bush

Do you blame people for wanting to be shielded from the profane?

Partially

perhaps life isn't meant to bode well with death

Better stated from the opposite spectrum

No exposure to unpleasantness

Entertainment remains in the foreground

That's not a Christian thing, that's a secular thing

and the permutation of unliving to living to dying to death is laid out in such a way that albeit is predictable, is unpleasant

it's offshoot religion which still harbors the same disgust at the mucous and blood of living in favor of a clean sterile existence.

as i have my doubts as to whether or not the soul desires captivity in a mortal shell

Would you agree that most Christians are secular at least in socialization?

i'd say most Christians have developed a taste for the secular

to desire such a thing, but to not actually have a feel for attaining it

The Christians of today aren't the same Christians from the dark ages

funny that is

the sky is still the same

the ground is still the same

life and death are both still the same

what do you reckon changed?

@diversity_is_racism would say the enlightenment (tm)
