Ohtori Akio posted:from a protestant, modern, faithful perspective church architecture as a means of expressing the way in which one intends to worship is pretty badass. i sometimes attend churches from a wide array of expressions of that from "giant box with columns" to "tiny little timbered space" and it piuts you in very different mindsets as one looks to connect with god i tried explaining this principle to my local church and asked them to set up giant dick statuary, but they just told me no and that kinda bummed me out

I tried to be genuinely respectful to the Mormon missionaries who showed up to my door this weekend, and let them give me as much of a spiel as they had. I'm not impressed with the apologetics skills of the boots on the ground missionaries. "Don't you feel like without God watching you, you're tempted to do bad things" is D-tier material, boys.

One of my favorite cultural values of the Mormons was The Mission and how every young man goes out for 2ish years to be where God needs them to be. Makes for a stronger person to have your faith tested and proved by the world. Also, without work, faith is merely happy thoughts. I heard the personal stories of a couple of missionaries who did work to help people who might accept the word of Jesus Christ and latter-day saints if they had water and an English teacher. The language schools are top notch too, beat out the military spook language schools in performance and effectiveness.

I'm just saying maybe I wouldn't be an atheist if more people could present a coherent dualist analysis of the phenomenology of lived experience, and the apparent but unprovable value of induction.

If you put up with them long enough they send in a senior member to start the hard sell. I made the mistake of extending basic human decency to a missionary once and after two weeks I had a used car salesman coming around trying to pressure me into converting. You have to politely but firmly tell them to gently caress off

Per thread's title, I do sincerely wish more people pitching The Truth of Life, put in a little bit more thought on what the concept of truth means. It's definitely my biggest personal gulf with religious leftists, who are often more attached to the moral dimension of their religions.

FirstnameLastname posted:im not making a call to violence, FirstnameLastname posted:but pacifism didn't end apartheid, pacifism didn't end slavery, pacifism didn't end jim crow, pacifism didn't overthrown the ancien régime, pacifism didn't give india independence, or ireland, or mexico, or cuba, or indonesia, or algeria, or vietnam. pacifism will not free palestine, pacifism will not demilitarize the police, pacifism will not remove the ruling class from power, pacifism will not liberate the working class. being a nonviolent person is admirable and i think something people should strive to be, but as a group ideology, as a means to an end, pacifism is idealistic and cannot actually even exist without a violent counterpart ensuring that it won't be destroyed - look at how useful nonviolent resistance and protest was in nazi germany lol. peaceful protests only work, and are only even allowed, when that protest is backed up by an understanding that if the protest isn't allowed to occur, violence will. personally, i'm not gunna do poo poo: im gunna post and play video games. posting > *. it's simple as a press of a button

Xaris posted:how do you resolve the inherent contradiction to yourself here? you say there shouldn't be a call to violence, but pacifism doesn't work. why is being pacifist admirable and good, yet then also has never been meaningful? i mean this in an earnest question -- it sounds like you still have liberal hesistencies living in your mind Calls to violence arent allowed on the forums, so you have to hedge if you want to point out how violence is usually the only effective path to lasting and meaningful change. Theres a reason non-violence is pushed so heavily as an absolute good in society, and why every would be reformed is praised for their non-violent approach after their deaths - which are usually violent and often state sponsored - to a degree that eclipses anything else about their philosophy. I'm not going to do poo poo either because individual action is futile and video games are good ikanreed posted:As long as the next one can grapple with basic epistemology, they can have at it. The elder they sent was a true believer with all the mannerisms of a salesman. The answers were rehearsed, deviations were ignored, conversation was boring, and the guy mainly just wanted to know what it was going to take to put me in a new religion today. I think the junior guy was faintly embarrassed, but I guess the point was to either close the deal or move on, missionary work wasnt about questioning truths.
