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

2017-02-19 16:21:59 UTC  

I have a seminary book on his metaphysics somewhere

2017-02-19 16:22:20 UTC  

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

2017-02-19 16:22:54 UTC  

most real estate agents can't look after a house

2017-02-19 16:25:03 UTC  

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

2017-02-19 16:29:34 UTC  

Most Christians do

2017-02-19 16:29:53 UTC  

The harsh nature of reality doesn't bode well

2017-02-19 16:30:01 UTC  

This is true for most people in general

2017-02-19 16:30:06 UTC  

As stated above

2017-02-19 16:31:08 UTC  

Most people are content gallivanting around

2017-02-19 16:31:29 UTC  

Shopping, talking about pop culture

2017-02-19 16:32:45 UTC  

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

2017-02-19 16:33:12 UTC  

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

2017-02-19 16:35:06 UTC  

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

2017-02-19 16:35:26 UTC  

Partially

2017-02-19 16:35:32 UTC  

perhaps life isn't meant to bode well with death

2017-02-19 16:35:38 UTC  

Better stated from the opposite spectrum

2017-02-19 16:35:49 UTC  

No exposure to unpleasantness

2017-02-19 16:36:32 UTC  

Entertainment remains in the foreground

2017-02-19 16:37:20 UTC  

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

2017-02-19 16:37:45 UTC  

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

2017-02-19 16:38:07 UTC  

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

2017-02-19 16:38:12 UTC  

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

2017-02-19 16:38:42 UTC  

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

2017-02-19 16:39:19 UTC  

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

2017-02-19 16:39:48 UTC  

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

2017-02-19 16:39:49 UTC  

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

2017-02-19 16:39:57 UTC  

funny that is

2017-02-19 16:40:03 UTC  

the sky is still the same

2017-02-19 16:40:06 UTC  

the ground is still the same

2017-02-19 16:40:20 UTC  

life and death are both still the same

2017-02-19 16:40:27 UTC  

what do you reckon changed?

2017-02-19 16:40:50 UTC  

@diversity_is_racism would say the enlightenment (tm)

2017-02-19 16:41:41 UTC  

The herding nature of people in the abstract

2017-02-19 16:42:04 UTC  

tech

2017-02-19 16:42:06 UTC  

duh

2017-02-19 16:42:21 UTC  

i'd wager reformation had the negative side effect of instilling salvation through belief

2017-02-19 16:42:26 UTC  

instead of salvation through suffering

2017-02-19 16:42:32 UTC  

as suffering is endemic to life itself

2017-02-19 16:42:41 UTC  

reformation divorced nature from the divine
