Tuxedo Catfish posted:The wrong word. "Misotheist" is also a word, though it means that regardless of a/the deity's hostility, the person actively hates it. A misotheist could be a dystheist (they hate a god because it is bad) or an eutheist (they hate a god even though it is good), or, presumably, could have no position at all on the/that god's goodness/benevolence. Misotheist is even the older word, having been coined in the 1800s, whereas dystheist (and its opposite, eutheist) weren't recorded until 1990.

HEY GAIL posted:tuxedo catfish, do you hate god or does god hate you I think the appropriate stance of a human being towards the universe is defiance. If I went a step further and ascribed the universe a will, then I would have to commit to an answer here.

The Whale is Death; none of what I'm saying maps cleanly onto God unless he lacks most of the properties a Christian would describe as divine. (Otherwise why would I be an atheist?) Plus Ahab believes he can win which honestly kind of disqualifies him.

CountFosco posted:What does defiance look like? Seeing the universe for the fact that it spins on pain and suffering and then forcing oneself to be a moral superior to any being that set it in motion. Be that through working tirelessly for the common good or otherwise. Its why I personally dislike Isaiah 45:9, because YES the pot should ask the potter about what he is doing.

Senju Kannon posted:so in this death as a giant white dick discourse would ahab be that guy who wants to live forever so he can gently caress sexbots As an undergraduate I wrote an essay about how Ahab was a cyborg. His whalebone leg slots into a socket in the ship, fusing them into a single biological-technological entity. Also the ship is part masonry, and the try pots are fueled by whale oil, which was important for some reason.

Yes but the Catholic position will be that you have to put the eucharist into the optical media drive and pour wine into the ethernet port. Protestants will use USB or firewire instead depending on denomination, radical theologians will suggest that communion can be given over bluetooth which will cause another schism.

So, more random questions from me. What do people here think of "Gnosticism?" I know it's a semi-useless umbrella term but I'm mainly just wondering if you would regard them as fellow Christians? What do you think of certain non-canonical "Gnostic" Gospels?

NikkolasKing posted:So, more random questions from me. I probably would, but I'm certainly a little more loosey-goosey when it comes to that than our liturgigoons. I've felt drawn to Gnosticism in the past. I think it has a lot of appeal. The idea of the demiurge is useful for explaining the harshness of the God as seen in the OT. It also has that seductive allure of secret knowledge, which I've always been drawn to. However, I do think Christianity is critically engaged with both issues of the body and of the soul. Gnosticism tries to eschew the importance of the body entirely, which I don't think is particularly fruitful. I like reading the gnostic gospels. I think it's worthwhile to explore how other people have engaged Christ throughout history, even if their conclusions are fundamentally different than (or even opposed to) mine. The ultimate failing of Gnosticism is, of course, its lack of explanatory power.

Gnosticism can be quite different depending on the gnostic. I would regard them as fellow Christians, although I think that philosophically there are some pretty big errors going on there. It strikes me as the wrong answer to the right question (the problem of evil).
