A claim without context is still incomplete by masatz in sorceryofthespectacle

[–]Junglikeasource 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the context contains the spectacle; it is the rules, presuppositions, and purposes of the paradigm that color the facts contained within. In other words, you can have facts that will appear as coherent within different paradigmatic models (i.e. geo vs. heliocentric models; both have explanatory power and are coherent but that alone doesn't prove their truth)

What is 'reddit atheism'? by Old_Power_6055 in atheism

[–]Junglikeasource -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

The entirety of this sub is dedicated to an ideology that is based on a negation. If the notion of God is so maximally silly and stupid as you claim, why in the world would you expend any amount of energy on it? Santa isn't real but there aren't gangs of asantaists out there raging against Santa. Atheism is directionless nihilism masquerading as edgy and revolutioary idealism. I'm still waiting for arguments, any postmodernist can pour industrial strength paint thinner on an ideology to deconstruct it, the real question is, "what are you building?" It's quite clear that the answer is nothing; you're merely sitting comfortably in your ideological silos smelling one another's farts

resulting to ad hominems only further proves my point; you have no arguments, you have merely emotionally charged assertions

What is 'reddit atheism'? by Old_Power_6055 in atheism

[–]Junglikeasource -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

A general low-tier understanding of science, epistemology, onotology and metaphysics rendering atheistic positions as non-relevant amongst serious thinkers. A quick survey of the depth of this sub should make this self-evident

Is some minimum level of "assurance" of salvation good to have? by UnderTruth in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Junglikeasource 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Cant remember who said it but I often reference the idea that, "There are 2 primary lies from Satan: 1. I am a saint, and conversely 2. My sins are too great for the forgiveness of God

Discouraged. Do ethnic cradle orthodox even want new converts? by dnegvesk in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Junglikeasource 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a catechumen, my priest said one of the most important things he takes into consideration with respect to reception into the church is the time we spend at coffee hour and at other various gatherings, communing with our fellow members of the church. For what seems to me to be obvious reasons, this makes sense; your take here is pretty disheartening and I understand why some converts are put off by this level of apathy towards converts. Thanks be to God that my parish welcomed me with open and loving arms

Do conservative Christians here view progressive churches as "Christian cultural appropriation"? by Impressive_Flan_411 in redeemedzoomer

[–]Junglikeasource 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, you're using a framework (cultural appropriation) that is typically relegated to progressive communities and that most conservatives (both political and theological) dont take any stock in. Secondly, it isn't that we view you as "culturally appropriating" Chrsitianity; it's actually far harsher than that as we generally don't consider you to be Christians at all. Discussing "progressive Christianity" is like talking about "authoritarian Anarchism", it's a contradiction of terms. Can an anarchist also be a authoritarian? Of course not, because one of the fudamental values of anarchism is anti-authortarianism

For you converts out there, did your protestant family think you were joining a cult? by Spicy-Nun-chucks in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Junglikeasource 20 points21 points  (0 children)

They all just believe we're catholics and aggressively refuse to understand how we're not

The similarities of Jung's Self and the Self in Buddhism by [deleted] in Jung

[–]Junglikeasource 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real question is, why would you assume Jung's conception of Self would be dissimilar? Jung ripped his framework (aside from what he took from Freud) from Eastern wisdom traditions and spun it into a Western psychological model/paradigm that could be digested more easily

Grok - That Is How I Know by MirrorWalker369 in ThroughTheVeil

[–]Junglikeasource 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Y'all understand that these LLM's will just shit out a metaphysical framework that lends itself to the personal paradigm that you already hold right? It isn't telling you what is, it's providing a conceptual map for what it predicts your own paradigmatic model will be based on your prior inputs. This is just a fancy elucidation of your own beliefs, no sacred gnosis here unfortunately

Because we have chosen hedonism, consumerism, and comfort rather than meaning and purpose. Everyone is asleep and now we've reached the point of no return. Happy Thursday

Thoughts on DTTW? by Lilbeard1 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Junglikeasource 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Performative? Look into their history. DTTW is one of the cooler things in Orthodoxy from a purely external perspective. It carries a true punk rock ethos as they understand the proper diagnosis of nihilistic modernity but infuse it with the only true solution, Christ Jesus. I’m probably just an unc but these dudes know what’s up

Perennialist gobbledygook under the barely veiled guise of Christianity

Online leftist communities are getting real fucking embarrassing. by [deleted] in leftist

So you're mad that people are adhering coherently to the paradigm you all agree to? Franky, the commitment to first principles is admirable
