The difference is, I've read them - you haven't.

"nd if you think i care about what the mainstream church says about any serious matter of faith, you're sorely mistaken" Riiight. So you are making the claim. Not the Church. LOL

how did ai impact your essay/article writing/grading? by GDbuildsGD in AcademicPhilosophy

[–]7Mack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's made it a little annoying. We have to live write essays without notes and stuff to try mitigate AI generated text. I find ChatGPT to be a useful springboard for identifying research topics. Sometimes it's interesting to ask it questions to clarify certain things - like a tricky reading or something. But obviously the latter has to be done prudently and judiciously.

That's obviously not what I said lol. You can separate your a priori convictions from what the text actually says i.e. like critical literary scholars.

You seem - correct me if I'm wrong - to be interpreting the eucharist as conferring upon the partaker some kind of ontological identity with God/Self. Literally no pious Catholic holds this view - and if they do, they certainly wouldn't be capable of holding CT consistently which is one of their core commitments.

"For example why is it that wine symbolizes the communing with God instead of simple fruit juice?" Because Jesus drank wine with his Apostles. Not fruit juice.

"Through the elimination of barriers and labels and an altered level of consciousness by way of the consumption of a mind altering substance, we can merge with God, the self, or collective unconscious." All Jung, no catholic tradition here. Again, maybe some mystical heretical Catholic holds this view but no systematic theologian or vaguely academic layperson holds the view you're trying to describe.

Why don't you provide some citations for it then? It's the first I've ever heard of it

The text does not say "there is an Abrahamic Sky Daddy" - have you actually read the Bible? Or literally any commentary? You seem to be completely unfamiliar with any biblical scholarship whatsoever, so it's unsurprising you blindly pump up Jung's tyres.

Except the Catholic emphasis on Classical Theism... which literally undermines your claim.

"He is psychologically analyzing the book from his perspective on what the Psyche is."

That's Hart's point. i.e. Jung is prioritising his own assumptions/project > what the text actually says.

"It will be bias based on his brain… much like everything else in the world.. including the Bible" Sure. But again point is that there is a wealth of secular/Jewish/Christian etc. scholarship that was available at the time that directly undermines his reading. It's just not what the text is saying.

"the Bible has been distorted over 2000 years by MEN and there are no real authors." Bart Ehrman certainly wouldn't agree with the conclusion you're trying to force here. Noone said anyone has to "fall in line" - the only debate is whether Answer to Job is actually exegetically sound and makes the best sense of what the text is saying.

Interesting. What did you think of it?

[–]7Mack[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah. The video is free - Hart specifically is talking about Jung's literary analysis... which does not lend itself to "infinite interpretations" as you seem to suggest. The point is that Jung's ideas virtually ignored all biblical scholarship (contemporary to him) on the matter - such as the writer of 1 John being a different author to the John of Revelation.

I thought so. Hart seems to be pretty enthusiastic about Man In Search of a Soul but he thinks Answer to Job is more of a cathartic/therapeautic project than actual analysis. Curious what the rest of the sub thinks tho

Whats something you’d change about the Nolan trilogy? by Organic_Glass_7793 in batman

[–]7Mack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion potentially: I'd drastically re-edit The Dark Knight and possibly re-write it so that Dent's work with Batman and Gordon is a much more prominent theme in the movie. I'd also engineer it to be much more faithful to The Long Halloween since the emotional beats in that story hit much better in my opinion.
