doing the other one first

I looked into Mastery

looks real good

It even has a trailer on Amazon actually lol

Yea, Mastery was great. I couldn't put it down. Had me totally focused on all the things I wanted to do for probably a few months after. I should re-read it.

So you're doing How to Win Friends and Influence People?

Ya

is there anything i should read before Revolt Against the Modern World

Siege

@🎭🎵 Have you actually read it? I made it through one or two chapters and was bored to death by it.

What are some good religion books I should read?

<:jesus:417536063540559872>

The God Delusion

Idk if the religious books Nick has suggested are a part of his blog book list but these were mentioned after the Styx debate

Not pictured is C.S. Lewis' Mere Christianity which I believe he said is a really good introductory book.

Gonna be the first I check out once I finish what I'm currently reading.

Summa is rough

Even the kreeft takes

In the original language

That's awesome @Dr. Ron /Pol/#7878 are you reading it currently?

I have an english copy I haven't gotten to yet

@Polybius Mere Christianity is great, it has the best explanation of the moral argument for God that I've seen

And CS Lewis' writing is beautiful

Whomst up? It's time we delve into the hard questions fellas

Interested to hear your takes lads

howdy

I tend to think of life as a crucible and God as a smith providing cleansing fire. Every single thing that happens happens for an innumerably greater reason that the human mind cannot begin to fathom. Somethings he does are simplistic, and some he does are almost extra dimensional in their reasoning. Everything has a purpose, a place, and a time. Inevitably every event which befalls man is to further purge undesirable aspects from our spirit and soul. Life, and subsequently, evil, is akin to slag, it must be purged and separated by fire.

There is an unbelievable amount of theology dedicated to this very question. This is simply my understanding of a portion of it.

I like it

Oh that was just me.

But I’m fairly sure Thomas Aquinas puts it better than I can.
