@Michael You went to the seminary? I was contemplating doing so for a while but never did

2017-12-22 23:03:01 UTC  

I did, Kingswood University in Sussex, NB, Canada. I was trained in the Wesleyan Holiness Tradition. Reformation Theology knocked my socks off so I became Neo-Reformed Calvinist, etc. Nature's Eternal Religion changed the way I viewed some things and Nietzche's concept of the slave morality made me doubt highly.

2017-12-22 23:03:29 UTC  

Sounds pretty heavy

2017-12-22 23:04:21 UTC  

I haven't talked about this kind of thing in years tbh, it's like 1% of my life. Like I said, deconversion was never a great thing, I loved my time in the Church.

2017-12-22 23:04:27 UTC  

My Monsignor was encouraging me, but some things happened and I lost faith for a long time

2017-12-22 23:04:32 UTC  

What tradition are you @Hadrian

2017-12-22 23:05:07 UTC  

was Roman Catholic

2017-12-22 23:05:40 UTC  

Still am nominally, but I drifted into sedevacantist

2017-12-22 23:06:20 UTC  

One thing I will criticise the Calvinists for specifically is what they did to art. They literally robbed our people of glorious artwork.

2017-12-22 23:06:35 UTC  

Smashing statues, etc.

2017-12-22 23:07:15 UTC  

Fugg galvinizm :-DDDD

2017-12-22 23:07:17 UTC  

One of my father's coworkers is extremely Calvinist, I am always taken aback by the (negative) similarities with Sunni Islam

2017-12-22 23:07:20 UTC  

You Catholics and Orthodox have given the world some of the greatest artwork possible.

2017-12-22 23:07:46 UTC  

Calvinism is the reason I never play as the reformed faith in eu4

2017-12-22 23:07:56 UTC  

lol

2017-12-22 23:08:51 UTC  

I do respect certain Presbyterians though, before I converted to Catholicism I was very interested in Theonomy/Christian Reconstruction

2017-12-22 23:10:04 UTC  

On that topic, what do you think of the idea that Calvinism can serve a purpose in uniting certain ethnic groups racially; the church of Scotland serving as an example

2017-12-22 23:10:10 UTC  

But it's hard to apply the OT properly with a Jewish translation

2017-12-22 23:10:11 UTC  

I can't respect certain presbyterians on account of the whole Scottish thing

2017-12-22 23:10:18 UTC  

haha

2017-12-22 23:10:42 UTC  

All my ancestors were Congregationalists, I guess I get the ovens.

2017-12-22 23:16:18 UTC  

Regarding your question on Calvinism I think it's interesting to note that the "Mother Church of Calvinism" (I forget it's name, but it's famous) is functionally identical to a Catholic Cathedral in appearance, with a few obvious differences. Most later-built ones, on the other hand, are not.

Anglicans have a similar situation but they've made more of an effort to retain the aesthetic. Especially if they're the ones that LARP as Western Orthodox.

Good lord how I love Greek last names

2017-12-22 23:46:09 UTC
