The literal word of god as delivered to Muahmmad by the archangel Gabriel

The bible is more equivalent to the hadiths which are just a compilation of stories etc. about the life of Muhammad since he's deemed the perfect man

However at least the hadiths are open to interpretation/questioning as they're not the literal word of god

A muslim might argue that the hadiths which mention Muhammad being a pedophile aren't authentic or whatever for example

But you can't do this with the qur'an

If the qur'an say to kill apostates (which it does) there's no arguing about it

Perhaps. Never forget that Protestantism- the source of most degenerate/withered Christianity- was founded on Sola Scriptura

If various powers could wear that down overtime, the same can theoretically be done with Islam

Well yes. It's birthed the most fundamentalist and liberal churches

And it actually is somewhat similiar in islam

Like moderate mosques are pretty much doing the same thign as Ahmadiyya by avoiding the uncomfortable Suras

Whereas Ahmadiyya is the extreme end of it

There isn't an authoritative head in islam outside the Ayatollah in Iran afaik

The Turkish sultan used to fill the role of caliph/head of sunni islam too

Hard to say how it'll turn out in the end

At least in Tunisia you can see that tourism has made a more liberal islam win elections over the muslim brotherhood

Yeah, could be interesting

It really comes down to what power is able to leverage it's international infrastructure quicker

I don't think so

As far as I can see leftist that turn "pagan" just maker it abotu giving into their bestial nature

They want to fuck around and whatnot

It seems like a repeat of the matriarchal fertility cults

I think you would expect to see a Cult of Dionysius in any legitimate pagan practice. A machine cult would probably be a Cult of Apollo, but this would trend towards Christianity anyway. While there might be a small section of Apollonians devoid of Dionysianism, I think the Dionysian element would quickly overtake the Apollonian and act in opposition to Christianity.

It'll be fun to see all sorts of space cults pop up once it's been demonstrated you can just live on Mars or whatever
In a way it might be a chance for the more upstanding elements to leave a morally rotten earthy behind

Can't wait for a Martian theocracy to yeet earth with an asteroid causing shitlibs to go extinct

I'm joking

There's actual potential for escaping this mess though

Btw Zeon did nothing wrong

whats so bad about sola scriptura. all that means is that all that's necessary for salvation is contained within scripture

i dont see why catholics disagree with this

because whenever we debate practices

they always use the bible to justify what they do

Something something papal infallibility in case he's speaking ex cathedra

they try to justify the traditions of church through scripture

protestants just disagree

the council

The main strength about catholicism and orthodoxy is the strength that comes from organizing, however treating it as anything other than an administrative issue has lead to all sorts of nonsense

I think something broke when imperial authority over the church was sidelined

It gave it more cohesion

And stopped stuff like a bishop callign himself infallible and whantnot

In a way I dislike dogma not that I necessarily disagree with its points about morality but because it's not flexible
I'm a strong believer in good being something real but intangible and belief in this would sort of be a self correcting mechanism
