In memory of gods glory?
Something like that, @NotDarkMagician. <:tiptip:462282246695419934>
what is this file
Oh
@NotDarkMagician you better tell me
It was supposed to be audio
Of a traditional Korean instrument
yeah sure
I think I fucked it up
pee pee poo poo
You're familiar with Latin, eh, @NotDarkMagician?
Hmm. Not really. My old school had a Latin society and I ment to go but I didn't really have time
It translates to "For the greater glory of God," a Latin Jesuit motto for the Society of Jesus, @NotDarkMagician.
One of many mottos I'd adopted after my dive into theology.
Oh
Isn't theology just shite
Perhaps you should take the time to find out for yourself.
JBP has a decent series, if you wish to introduce yourself to the subject.
That isn't the purpose.
Yes I understand it's the study of religion but Still. I would rather study something that happened or else I might as well study Harry Potter
It has to do with metaphysics and the underpinnings of Western knowledge, our civilization.
Yes but do a master's in philosophy and you'll come out thinking we don't know anything, nothing matters and there's no good and evil
Ah, the anti-philosophy conclusion, where one ends as a normative relativist and finds no sympathy for his fellow man.
I once harbored such a perspective.
I do think that the triple nihilism conclusion is probably correct
But I don't think it's useful
The conclusion of that worldview is one I turned away from, as it is most nihilistic and excusatory of those acts which harbor no empathy for other members of our species. It's not a good framework to begin with.
Of course it's not useful.
Isn't theology the study of old Virgin men and child molsters views about fictional events
Seems like a meme to me
The ultimate conclusion is one that was with you all along, and that is to choose your path, what you value, and I believe most of us inherently wish for what we'd define as good, focusing with an empathy for your fellow man anyway.
And no, @NotDarkMagician, I already outlined the summation previously.
I used to be nihilistic.
Now I'm not.
Objectivism may draw you away from nihilism, if you find you've the time, @NotDarkMagician.
