counterfeitsaint posted:What do you think about Islamists or "political Islam"? I mean specifically "the belief that Islam should guide social and political as well as personal life". I'm sure that fringe christian analogies exist, but I don't think it's unreasonable to say the concept of theocracy is far, far more widespread in the Muslim world than anywhere else. Christian Reconstructionism, which still is big in areas of Protestant Christianity--you'd be surprised how many right wing American politicians are fine with people who want America to run on their interpretation of biblical law

Pellisworth posted:Yeah, politics seems to play a huge role both in early Islam and Christianity. There were a number of councils called to debate early Christian doctrine and that's largely where the major theological divides develop. As much as I'd like to think I'm distant from Rome, holy crap has my exposure to Orthodox Christianity made me realize that the more significant divide is between Eastern and Western Christianity (which again I think is largely due to how the Roman Empire collapsed) quote:Again this is probably a big difference between scriptures that are an oral recitation and ones that are constantly translated texts. Martin Luther didn't have earth-shaking ideas out of nowhere, he was largely building on the legacies of Jan Hus (Czech) and John Wycliffe (English). The Reformation was successful because Martin Luther was a huge goonlord who couldn't resist posting a lengthy academic disputation of official Roman Catholic doctrine (95 theses but ________ ain't one). Cue invention of printing press spreading his and other Christian reformers ideas across Europe. Tendai posted:This IS a really big difference. Every Muslim is encouraged to read the Qur'an; hell, we are encouraged to memorize it and people who do are called hafiz/hafiza. Edit: My mother is Catholic and she's always wanted to die during Mass, but not because she'll then do it forever, because of the grace that it would bring. She also envies the people whose bones built the Central European ossuary churches, because they'll always be part of a Mass. HEY GUNS fucked around with this message at 09:30 on Oct 16, 2015 |

religious dietary laws always rest on rules lawyering and dubious science, i can eat invertebrates during Lent but not meat (if I refrained from eating meat when I should, which I don't) because they aren't "animals" according to what people believed in the Byzantine empire in the 6th century AD

Immortan posted:Isn't interesting how historians and apologists differ on this issue? edit: Amon Khonsu, I know how your family feels: when I was in high school one of my teachers made reading the Bible mandatory, which was fine since it was a literature class and most English-language literature is heavily influenced by the Bible, the problem was she wanted us to read a Protestant translation, which I was not OK with. It took a lot of work for me to be able to read a Catholic translation instead. HEY GUNS fucked around with this message at 20:44 on Dec 26, 2015 |
