basically simon magus tried to cast fly for the likes, and was compromised to a permanent end by jesus's counterspell. died because his insurance wouldn't cover compound leg fractures from losing a wizard contest to the son of God. that's capitalism folks

It seems dubious to try and draw a connection from "the one woman in the village who knew about herbs, and midwifing, and germs" to "well off white girls messing about with cards and pretending star signs mean things" and act like that's a meaningful historic throughline, honestly

I got a witch for a mom, and thanks to DNA being a dick I got it passed down to me from birth. I gotta admit, one of my first real post-9/11 crack-pings was being in the last stages of my "Magic's not real, gently caress you mom" rebel phase while watching meme-magic literally send TUETNRO into the white house.

This is gonna be some dumb gay goonrant, BUT LET'S HOP ONBOARD MY WILD RIDE ANYWAY~!

Let me get straight to the point:

Raise your hand if you've killed the cop in your head. Good.
Now, raise your hand if you've killed or are killing the colonizer in your head. Many of you are asking "w-what...?", "lol are you serious?", etc. We all know about the entity called "the cop in your head", and it's death is a necessary part of unchaining oneself and others from the prison of Capitalism. There's just one problem, especially if you're pale, there's another entity implanted in you called the Colonizer. This entity's actively driving you to not just hate non-Christian faith, but to destroy it in whatever ways you can. As above, so below, just like fascists use liberal free-speech as a Trojan horse to deliver white supremacist An Orwellmaidenheirazilneworltheylivatrix's Tale, the Colonizer's favorite horse for ecocidal Christendom these days is ~skeptical atheism and loving loving science~. I don't know if you've been paying attention, but scientists are as listened to by the government as Indigenous elders.

There's a reason natives are screaming from the rooftops for y'all to listen to them, cause if you keep ignoring them, you're literally going to continue the colonial cycle, but this time forcing the "superstitious savages" to surrender their ways and adopt the immortal science. That's exactly what the colonizer in your head wants, and why you must kill him.

Not sure what else to say on this, again, sorry if this came out a dumb goon rant, just my observation

one of the big differences that brings is who has access to it. The contrasting example is the Stoic Logos which is pessimistic about who can follow the word. They even have a theosis like condition, the logikos. instead of the anybody can be a little christ because of the humanity of the Word, they have that only a few very very few can be the logikos the “determined by the word” or the “determined by reason “.

the humanity of the deified Word changes its accessibility. It’s family. Not metaphorically, but literally. To me if one is taking Christianity seriously, there are three statements that I think are often metaphorically interpreted that are actually literal. We are all children of the Father. We are all the brothers and sisters of Jesus. We are all mother’s children.

that’s the fundamental difference in the relationship with the Word to most of the other places one sees the Logos. It was spoken as a person and in Christianity it is related to as a person. One can go out and meet a person and encounter the Logos in them.

there’s another metaphor I don’t remember where he uses it, but Tillich compares religion a treasure chest hidden inside of a mausoleum.

tristeham doesn’t like that I think support of Donald Trump is support of fascism and then thinks that’s an appropriate to do about it.

to be fair it is a conclusion about Trump that is directly resulting from my love of Tillich.
