>Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

Natural theology is alien, if not opposite, to the Gospels. In fact, the most sardonic remarks directly condemn it: per natural theology, the Father and Son comprise a kind of "epinoumenalism" whereby "God" is literally emergent from their partiality, indistinguishable from Phenomena and, as Materialism - also a Catholic idea - claims, the Mind itself both arising from similarly partial Phenomena. The man being harmed by the Father and healed by the Son is as Morally as it is Theologically bankrupt. It is, in fact, pure Phenomenology toward claiming God as participating in, equal to, less than the Phenomenal, in turn toward his aspects that do not lend themselves thereto being done away with altogether by being perfidiously claimed "ineffable". Perhaps the only rebuttal to Gnosticism is that it is not Gnostic enough, far from being ignorant of God, Yaldabaoth yearns God the most, to put him, above all, in the flesh prison. This being revealed indeed in this verse.

The annoying quip about God being "above human reason" might be incidentally true in that the people parroting it are below Reason in general.

>men that cannot refute a woman

Pathetic.

Please, go back to your Reddit echo chamber where the people are dumb enough to even discuss such spook incel terminology as "fourth wave feminism", and then go jerk off to your imagined saviour Milo Yopadopaloop or something.

There's a lot of sword fights and choreography in Fritz Leiber's Fafhrd and Gray Mouser books. I heard the author was a keen fencer. These are mostly short stories - any longform fiction with exhaustively described fights would be boring. For the wider readership, emotions, reactions and motivations of characters is far more interesting than the angle of a sword thrust, or manner of parrying, or footwork. If this isn't true in your case then you may be genuinely autistic or have the wrong idea about reading.

Does anyone have any recommendations of other artists from the 19th century that deal with imagery as dark as Goya?

I know they're not incompatible. I just have shit social skills and depression and anxiety so it was always easy to pick up a book and hide in my parents house but difficult to talk to a person. I have started to sort my shit out but it's going to be a long road.

Nothing would be more divine than to eternally return to face any hardship that is thrown at me
