surprisingly that is a big deal in terms of religions

islam stalled because they never could accept that idea

once you can accept that truth can come outside of faith, then you can respect the humanity of nonbelievers

if you want to shit on unironic Gnostics, which I have had to deal with, quote Plotinus to them

they are the most annoying faggots, worse than Fedoras, super antichristian and think they are woke

Plotinus and Irenus shit on gnostics

yeah and their "lost gospels" are just rewritten pagan legends

Plotinus himself was a neoplatonist and not christian

yeah

seriously, required reading for any christian https://www.amazon.ca/Bearing-False-Witness-Debunking-Anti-Catholic/dp/1599474999/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1527447892&sr=8-1&keywords=bearing+false+witness

the only response gnostics ever have is "boo hoo the church suppressed us"

it was the fact that people left them because it was so obviously full of shit

even if the inquisition did kill a bunch of heretics and jews, it was a good thing

modern day love for the gnostics is just to subvert christianity

the dark ages being an era of stagnation because of the church is also total nonsense, just worthless anti-christian bullshit

its like saying the great depression was bc of the church

@HotGore yeah

there is no such thing as the dark ages, it is a myth

i wish i still had a link to the article

historians agree that it was actually a period of awakening

but it talked about the times where the church suppressed scientists

that book I linked has a great chapter on the dark ages

and it showed that a lot of these scientists actually were occultists

and heretics

most of the scientists of the "dark ages" were priests

and they werent suppressed because of science but because they were literally dabbling in demonology

Bacon for instance

in history all the great scientists were devout christians

yeah

Galileo was just a cunt to the pope and most of the world did already think the world was round

galileo was the heliocentric

not just the world being round

Is shawn a socialist

Socialism worked pretty well for that one country in the early 1900s

No he's just fighter for the proletariat and enemy of the bourgeoisie

@NSJW galileo and bruno, the two epic martyrs of science, were actually just killed for retarded theological positions and fucking with the church rather than any "scientific" opinions iirc

Yeah the pope basically said "quote me in your book bro" and Galileo had his words coming out of the mouth of a fool
