Why would everyone have to go to paradise?
I believe Tengriists follow the philosophy of determinism
The Tengriist believes in a god without standards.
Which is the reason they use the different paths for different cultures argument
But why does a perfect God have to deliver everyone to paradise?
Why does god necessarily need standards?
Why does a perfect god not délivrer everyone to heaven?
The Absolute, be definition, is beyond us. We are like children asking why we can't all have candy all the time.
Of course, I don't agree with any of this nonsense
I am simply making my case that the two religions are similar
This is a theoretical argument, sure.
In their fallacious logic
The both have problems, but for different reasons.
I am pedantic about why things are wrong, not just that they are.
My logic is that if we can make the case that two logics can be disproven on the backbone of similar logical failures, then one cannot reasonably choose one over the other
Religions*
It would then be illogical to pick one religion over the other
There can only be one primarily correct religion, but it is possible that some religions can co-exist as a subset of another.
Tengri is one example, Islam may be another grey area.
The issue is that in this case Tengriism and Christianity clearly contradict
They do.
From the perspective of Christians
@TAbell Welcome, comrade.
But if the fatal flaw for both can be pinpointed on one error, "god is mysterious and perfect and can therefore make this worse", and if they contradict, they cannot coexist
One is wrong and the other is correct
No one can reasonably decide which one is correct
So that destroys any attempt to prove one religion until the "god can make it work" part is dispelled
Not with 100% certainty. But you can propose natural reason to show why your religion is more coherent than all the others, and why it contradicts.
@TAbell Don't look Chopin in the eyes or he will try to baptize you.
Alrighty then
She's a beauty.
You can tell how much the T34 traumatised the Germans by the fact all their new tanks after the invasion of Russia favoured sloped armour over their traditional 'folded steel'. It was an irrational response to a real nightmare.
You cannot underestimate the psychological damage the T34 had on the Wehrmacht leadership.
Imitation is flattery.
