Why Christianity May Be the Most Logical Religion.

Post by Eodnhoj7 »

1. Man is the measure of all things.

2. Man is made in the image of Divine Reason through the capacity of measuring phenomenon, with this measuring capacity existing through the recursion and isomorphism from the source (ie the capacity to measure is inverted into another capacity to measure and repeated).

3. The first born of man would be Jesus Christ, as both the center point of reason, where all men and women in their capacity to reason are variations of this one source. Christ is God synthesizing with his own image.

4. All men and women are co-creators through the one source with creation being the measuring of phenomenon by the seperation and connection of phenomenon. God synthesizes to his creation where creation is a recursion of God. The source joins to its image as a means of measurement.

Only premise 1 is acceptable - Protagoras.

The rest of the premises 2-4 are false.

I do agree Christianity is the most logical and optimal religion relative the present circumstances given there are no effective alternatives to deal with the inherent and unavoidable existential crisis.
Whilst Christianity is optimal to the current circumstance it is not a universally foolproof approach since it has its baggage of negatives and cons.

However I am very optimistic, given the current progressing and expanding trend of knowledge, humanity will be able to establish foolproof alternatives to replace Christianity as the most optimal approach to deal with the inherent and unavoidable existential crisis in the future.

That is a quote from protagoras, I would hardly call it schizo-nonsense.

How is it possible to be the "most logical" when based on beliefs that are illogical to start with?

All religions, philosophies and sciences begin with assertions. These assertions are "proven" based upon their connection to other assertions, yet this still leaves the elephant in the room that these are still assertions.

Under the premise that reality is an replication from the source, and is reassumed by the source, both reality and the source are joined together as one. Christianity follows this premise and set of logical formalities. Creation is joined to the creator.

As creators, ourselves, we create constantly in endless forms -- and our creations are not replicas of us, nor do they belong to us -- nor are we sole creators.

So how is it logical to think that there's a sole creator (of some sort) replicating itself through us, and that we somehow belong to that? It doesn't fit anything else we see in nature. What it does fit is man's need to feel significant and protected. What if man were to move beyond that? Instead of digging in deeper and burying awareness in an inexplicable religious framework, what if we look to nature for an actual ever-present display of the fluidity and vastness that more accurately describes/represents us?

Do you think we see/perceive all there is? With all of our human limitations? So where are these "creation premises" coming from, and what are they really serving?

I don't care who you quote, it's still wrong and if you can't tell if he is wrong, then not only are not skitzo but flatline RQ!

Pretty much everything based on supernatural ideas and stories that have no basis in reality.

How about you tell me which beliefs are logical? That should be a much shorter list.

P.S. Claiming something is waffle when it's a reasonable explanation of logic is chickenshit. Show how your logic differs.

That right there is a fallacy. If God exists, then there is nothing 'supernatural' about it, there must be a reasonable account for its existence, we simply don't have one...yet.

Naw, a bit of a cop-out right there Lacey. Go ahead, list all or at least some of the illogical beliefs of Christianity.

Under the premise that reality is an replication from the source, and is reassumed by the source, both reality and the source are joined together as one. Christianity follows this premise and set of logical formalities. Creation is joined to the creator.
As creators, ourselves, we create constantly in endless forms -- and our creations are not replicas of us, nor do they belong to us -- nor are we sole creators.

We are co-creators through the source and our creations are extensions of how we perceive the world.

So how is it logical to think that there's a sole creator (of some sort) replicating itself through us, and that we somehow belong to that?
All is connected through a single source with all being existing as variations of it. For example all phenomenon, as having shape, are traceable loops...many loops as variations of eachother summited under one loop. It is the commonalities of being que being which necessitate a single source as a summation of it all.



It doesn't fit anything else we see in nature. What it does fit is man's need to feel significant and protected. What if man were to move beyond that? Instead of digging in deeper and burying awareness in an inexplicable religious framework, what if we look to nature for an actual ever-present display of the fluidity and vastness that more accurately describes/represents us?

If we turn to nature we still use religion as a sort of dogma to explain it all. Religion is innate within man's ability to reason as it necessitates a form of unity. Religion, through dogma of any type, is a move towards unity.

Do you think we see/perceive all there is?

No.

With all of our human limitations?
Even if we do not see all there is we can see commonalities underlying all of creation.


So where are these "creation premises" coming from, and what are they really serving?

Creation is the replication of one phenomena into a new form. This new form in turn is reassumed by the creator as the creator existing through himself.
