This, but with Origenism. Both "Origenist Crises" and the branding of Origen as a heretic has been a disaster for the human race. The only saving grace was that the Desert Fathers remained committed Origenists and passed their wisdom down.

His stuff on Numbers as the stages of Christian development is pretty great too. One of the best exegetes and a martyr of the Church.

Origen already did that bro.

And some guy at my ex's hospital did it with his eyes while high on meth and having "become Jesus," to keep from looking at dirty videos.

Origen probably didn't really cut his dick off. It was more a slur leveled at him by those who thought he was too gnostic, even though he was fairly adamant against gnosticism.

My main dude was so hardcore into attaining Gnosis and staying free of sin that he chopped his own dick off to stay free of thots. An iron willed volcel chasing the Logos.

Meanwhile, Nietzsche was a a fucking incel who got friend zoned and spilled his spaghetti with the one woman he talked to. He got talked into seeing a prostie, had sex once, and died of siph. Losing his mind over a horse being beaten after railing about the value of "master morality," is just the final kek.

Are Moses and Solomon really the source of all the ideas in Greek mathematics and philosophy?

Not going to lie, the arguments about the dimensions of the Tent of Meeting and First Temple demonstrating a mastery of the quadratic equation and knowledge of irrational numbers/the Golden Ratio, or of parts fitting the Fibonacci Sequence and shit.

I also recall some astronomy shit being dug up from Babylon where they were essentially using calculus, or at least proto calculus for predicting star movement, but I don't recall if it dated to the time the Jews lived there.

And the stuff about Nous and Logos being in the OT do sorta make sense.

>How much of an issue is the truth of evolution to Christianity?
Not an issue in the slightest anon.

>gets called a heretic by the church
Why are christians so astonishingly sadistic and hateful? The more i read about the history of the church the more i realize christians were always dishonest scheming kikes who needed to peddle their eternal fire boogeyman narrative to gain authority over the ignorant masses.

Anyone else find that if they overeat carbs the night before they cant focus or read the next day?

nigga are you kidding me? arguably a significant chunk of authors throughout history were hermits or otherwise not living in typical social conditions. while the "writers are solitary obsessive personalities who chainsmoke and pull their brilliance from the aether" meme isn't necessarily comprehensive, there is some grain of truth to it. consider the fact that in many cultures, ascetics/hermits/monks were considered the best advice givers and some still are today. people literally went on pilgrimages just to hear the words of some guy locked in a room praying all day. catholics confess their sins to dudes who spend all their time thingken bout god and never having sex.

so while some of that might be tied up on superstition/hype, ultimately writing is a solitary activity (unless you collaborate) and many solitary individuals still produced something that interested other people. don't use your autism as an excuse, if you want to write something then ask yourself why. maybe you want to write the wrong thing, and should instead work on writing what you are capable of. every single person in this shared human experience contains a world in their own head. if you could capture that world in a particularly convincing way, your work would be valuable even if it's different from the worlds of others. I think the reason there isn't a pulitzer winner about a man eating popcorn and jerking off to anime is because nobody has had the writing chops or gumption to do it. git gud.

On a metaphysical (and cybernetic) level, that would be Origen.
