Religion is a type of philosophy. It is a specific answer to the questions of metaphysics and epistemology, an answer involving supernatural metaphysics and faith/intuition based, generally leading to platonic kind of rationalist ethics involving intrinsic value and absolutist ethics. It does in anyway come before philosophy or did it inspire it.

I'm kind of fed up with the whole "let's take X and make it ghetto" type of keks.

Like pic related, I really really hate pic related.

>haha gucci man hood rapper and then le philosophical term like so haha

Kill kill kill.

The idea that god exists and that his holy book should be taken as literal fact seem to go together. The idea that holy texts should be fudged, should be selectively interpreted, that the word of god should be treated as mere suggestion sounds practically heretical. Given, I'm incredibly thankful that most Christians are very inconsistent and that half of them haven't even read it. It's a very violent book that could very easily be used as the foundation for a completely miserable, impoverished, execution happy Theocracy that would slowly throw us back in the Dark Ages.

But it's still really awkward that people call themselves Christians and don't actually believe in the book that their belief structure spawned from.

Yo /lit/, can we have a penpal thread? Seems like Sunday evening's a good time to do it, as you'd have plenty of time to compose it and throw it in the post for tomorrow.

How could you be creepy asking for a penpal in a thread for that purpose?
