>Would you dare to tell us which denomination is the correct one, the sole owner of this singular and blemishless truth?
Read my post faggot. I'm not a Christian. I'm explaining the rhetoric behind "blasphemy".
>The fact Christianity claims to be the sole truth doesn't make it such, since that is it's own claim about itself
I agree.

>If Christianity were true, in the sense that Jesus was Divine and there's a Theistic God, etc, this does not negate the insights on consciousness/ego from the East as being incorrect.
Yes it does.
"Eastern thought" which is a wide range of various beliefs all have beliefs that contradict Christianity. They absolutely cannot both be correct.
If Christianity is to be believed. Then you're one life is due to God, an absolute God, which expects worship and praise. Specifically to God. As well as an understand of God's man-made self, Jesus Christ, and his sacrifice towards humanity and forgiveness of "sin".
If Christianity is to be believed. Then you're one existence should be spent repenting for your sins against your creator, appeasement of that creator, and following his will: outlined by the son, Jesus Christ
Eastern concepts such as: ego, reincarnation, meditation is useless and baseless, unless of course they lead you closer to, the one true, God.
Meditation? Not as good as praying or repentance.
Reincarnation? Not real, false doctrine.
Taoism / the way? Not real, false doctrine.
Ego death? False, the ultimate truth is God not your own, limited mortal consciousness.
Wise ancient teachers such as Buddha, Laozi, fucking ect? Again, false doctrine.

The doctrine is not inherently false. Since everything in this life is about the one true Christian God. Fulton Sheen explained it pretty well. These other ideas are not completely without truth, because God is all things. So they have, parts of the Truth. Almost like having a sliver of the pie (the whole pie being, the truth).
However, in the Christian belief, the only truth is the truth of Jesus Christ and the one true God. No pussyfooting around it. Repent or be condemned.

I recognize you. We were arguing on a certain imageboard not long ago and I've never gotten around to phrasing my reply.

Evo-psych is notorious in the scientific community for being a source of unverifiable "just-so" stories made to fit current ideas and nothing else. Even going by the argument in the paper you've linked, it isn't readily apparent that feminism should necessarily follow as a negative development as it increases selection pressures on males to innovate. Neither does it necessarily follow that the heterosexual mode of family arrangement is even the most practical given productive activity derives from the factory. The devolution of the family unit is only the latest in a longrunning trend of decentralization from kin-tribal units, and would not be happening if pressures did not exist propelling it in this direction.

Feminist theory is irrelevant
