depends on the context tho

>implying the initial context of the story isn't the only one that should ever be considered

@Lotus Calme Perhaps when it is both since they convey the reality of sacrifice, but as you see in many religions of the past with indoctrination systems, people do bad things from the literal context

"bad things"

hey my god is the truth from my holy text, your god is bad and must be killed off

I agree, My God is Truth

and your god is a demon

you must turn from your ways or be subjugated

the way we can determine on what holy script is right is by three factors

is it the old testament?
is it the new testament?
is it Christ-centered?
😉

im getting to that

@Lotus Calme
See the issue from that thinking is it stems from a church system much like your opponent

lemme finish

hang on you two

the three factors have to do with the four questions in a theological setting

What are the three ideas lol?

Hang on computer crashed, now on my phone

kkk

The three ideas are correspondence, coherence, and provable falsifiability

And each of those are tests to the theology of a religion

And a religion’s ideology is based on four questions mankind asks itself

Morals

Destiny

Meaning

And origin

Each answer to the four fundamental questions must be coherent, must corespond with reality, and must be provably true

okay, that falsifiability was throwing me off there

Ye

To give an example, if Christ said he’d return as a spirit rather than a body he wouldn’t be provably falsifiable, because you have no we to prove or disprove a spirit

That’s what I mean by provably falsifiable

If it is wrong, then one can prove it

It seems like a pretty solid definition of what makes a religion, as the attempt of it is to try to comprehend truth. But there also exist paradoxes too from our lack of understanding

So it's ideology is narrow minded despite it's efforts of trying to make sense of the order of nature

Yeah, the fix to most parodoxes in this case though would be to study further and absorb more information

that too can help with advancements

Exactly

You guys catch on fast

Most of the people I try to talk to about this seem mostly from r/atheism

fuck plebbit honestly lol

Damn straight
