The problem of religion

Is that what I said Dave? Perhaps you might want to link to the posting where I said that the Holy Spirit is not the Spirit of Truth. Short of providing such a link, I can only assume that you are performing yet another misinterpretation of what is written.

Your quote made in your closing comment is not my words... so you must be quoting your own self.

 

You mean YOUR facts, which are not the same facts as others .. you have already displayed numerous times your love of placing your own interpretations onto scripture.

BTW you are again begging the question . .what and whose facts is he denying and what evidence is there that they support the truth .. in fact please define "the truth"

 

Just to point at that one of the primary definitions of a fact is something that actually exists; reality; truth:

 

Yes, Reality and Truth both point to the same thing for us all.

One is really not the other.
But for us, they are the same thing.
This is base of the idea of Trinity.

This important observation is what will destroy Islam's preaching against Trinity, and will refute the JW's Christians, the Mormons, and any other Arian Christian.

 

Literature & Sociology


We could investigate the cultural impact of religions by examining the sentimentalism symbolism inherent in literary characters representing theism and monarchy which present a challenge to atheists.

Such characters include the following:

1. Oliver Twist -- orphan character from Charles Dickens' "Oliver Twist" [1837] who represents sentimental virtues

2. Fernand Mondego -- betraying rival of the ambitious hero Edmond Dantes in Alexandre Dumas' retribution novel "The Count of Monte Cristo" [1844]

3. Grendel -- fictional brooding monster from John Gardner's pensive re-interpretation of the epic adventure poem Beowulf


These characters re-present religion in terms of values, ethics, moral conundrums, and spite, ideas that challenge assumptions held by anti-religion nihilists and atheists.

How can we use such literary characters to discuss anthropological folklore of evil?
