I work in hospitality, that's not happening. I'm late to bed and late to rise, not all can be so privileged as to have a consistent circadian rhythm in this job market

Okay, so postmodernism is a reaction to modernity, right? So the postindustrial cultural results of romantacism. The ideas that came from modernity features themes of cultural fragmentation, social evils and narrative authority. This lead to many consistent ideas of contomporary nationalism and...

Islam has fostered a great many ideas from mathematic to the economic... a rejection of modernist metanarritive I doubt is among them. If anything, seeing it is an Abrahamic religion, it pushes a single metanarritive and asserts its inevitability.

You honestly think an Abrahamic religion established in the 7th century was influenced by a 19-20th century critique of meta narratives as a backlash against modernism? I'm at the very least credulous.

I have my own issues with Jimmy (Mr Atheist) because I find him kinda reactionary to his restrictive upbringing - he lements him struggling throughout his Mormon childhood often - and overcompensates by being more of a libertine than a liberal. On the other hand, I'm actually very new to this...

Though I have been to a mosque with her and her to a church with me, of late we tend we haven't really had the opportunity to go much regularly unfortunately. See, I turned my back of the Roman Catholic Church quite some time ago because I found that the tradition and ceremony surrounding did...

She finds it ammusing, she asserts that the existience of a single God is evident and any one who would bother to get to know Him personally would know He is the Abrahamic God. She's not super concerned though, saying it's people in the earliest part of their life who wrestle against Him saying...

Of course, but I'm not in an environment that fosters it. You see, almost all those few who aren't either agnostic or atheistic in my agegroup in this area are like census-ticking Catholics or Anglicans. Aside from me, myself, my fiance is Muslim, my childhood friend is a Lucifarean Gnostic and...

It probably stems from them rejecting all aspect of what they would to assess to be an internally inconsistent position. It would be a strange thing for an opponent to see the preaching of love, grace and slavation from one side of their mouth while they limit access to healthcare, maintain a...

Again, it depends on whom you're speaking to. So I can think of two atheist mates I have who are moral realists. One is a threshold deontologist, the other is a rule utilitarian. The rule utilitarian cares about the outcomes of moral rules and takes up the ones that would eventuate is welbeing...

I have played with the idea of anarchism in my political framework and in terms of the achieving the millenium, as it is essentially stateless from the framwork of functioning nationstates today as in I would seek their absence. However, I still recognize a state as such, that of God's Kingdom...

But then there is evil. The majority of my friends are either agnostics or atheists. Evil in that context isn't some ontological force bur rather a descriptor of effect and outcome. I mean I disagree with them but if you want to talk about more secular ethical methods you kinda work with their...

I've wrestled with Him over the same deal. But I also remember what He is, his vastness and scope compared to my everyday experience. I remember Isiah 45:7 and understand where my experience and purpose is ontologically compared to Him.

Hi there, for about 4 years I have gone my own way away from the Roman Catholic Church. I found that the ritual and ceremony did little to facilitate my journey with God as a father. That being seid, I don't know many Christians my age who take the relationship as a way of life in my area so...

I think Manichaean, Gnostic and Mandaean sources also coroborate, aside from the other Islamo-Christian sources.

I suppose you have to be just wary of your suppliers. I happent to eat mostly halal due to my fiance being Muslim. Being in Australia, animals must be stunned (effectively braindead) before slaughter so they're quickly and painlessly bled not disimilar to kosher slaughter. We tend to look for...

For me an my fiance, we both just had the feeling that God was pushing us to tie the knot, which we're making plans to have happen soon. We have been together since we were 13-14 years old and since scripturely we both feel obligated to marry one's sexual partners, being together for 8 years, we...

I don't quite understand this... why would creatures on of this world care about what language we speak. Like does the dialect matter? Or how about the language group? So, say, somebody speaks to a demon in modern Hebew rather than ancient Hebrew, will it still be just as effective? A lot of...

So it's a lesson guide? Actually it might be a bit helpful. I've kinda been going it my own since I left Roman Catholicism and most churchs I've had a squizz at since then have been kinda void of much substance so I'll give this guy a look.

@genez Could you sum up that pdf? I don't understand what that table is and my dyslexia ain't helping.
