He's probably not real anon, that's the simple answer. This board has plenty of boomers who will cite esoteric literature they themselves have not read to prove that there's a god but those works themselves tend to pressupose a whole lot of unprovable shit.

Prayer is not some medium that can be used for the reciprocal exchange of values with God - regardless of how you imagine that happening - it is a solitary rite of faith that is practiced to express love for God and its children.

He won't talk directly with just abour anyone, Moses, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, was one of the only prophets who got that distinction. Normal procedure is to use angels.

Yes, of course. The abandoned child that cries himself nauseous is the metaphor for existential Crises

>Moses, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, was one of the only prophets who got that distinction.
Moses was contacted by YHWH/Satan/Jupiter, not God.

>Normal procedure is to use angels.
Angels do not reveal themselves to humans - demons do, in the guise of an "angel of light".

>> No.13260534

>>13260441
I would say you’re disagreeing with him here, because an ‘abandoned child that cries himself nauseous’ sounds like an atheist.

That’s not you of course, is it? You wouldn’t be taking antagonistic stances towards me would you? :3

>> No.13260622

>>13260513
Satan is a concept from Scripture, no other original source on him, and both Testaments and the Qur'an distinguish him from Who spoke to Moses, the peace and blessings of Allah be upom him.

I’m with this gentleman.

**I think we should all agree to consider God as the same being in the Old Testament and New Testament.**

Not only that, but Satan I believe to be the same force as in Job as in the Quran. Satan’s paradigm may be associated with capital (greed) in some way and may be why philosophers like Nick Land think they are on to something by saying ‘Capital is Sentient’

I think we are starting to get a hang of what’s really going on here :3

Being associated with the direction of capital in any way is greed. I think if you associate yourself in some way with the direction of commercial industry then you could say this is not greedy but simply blindly following where capital goes for certain is.

If I said that wherever the money goes, that place is best, well I should hope you’d call me greedy. I, for one, have definitely left positions where I would have made more money solely to have more time with the people who matter in my life.

And that is what is most important. :3

Actually Capital is always realizable into money. Literally always.

It’s because capital produces wealth. Go ahead and name me a time where you cannot monetize capital :3

>> No.13260798

>>13260768
So in early christians days if you wanted to be wealthy you needed to be productive, physically or mentally, there was no making money on loans unless the investment itself (e. g. some building being financed) was able to produce a profit afterwards, but no money being made directly from money, specifically interest

A banker would have been a lower class of person in the eyes of their god

Yes that is how Muslim banking works, except in Egypt which, after outsing the Muslim Brotherhood, introduced a definition of usury that doesn't include all interest, which has been rejected by the Ulema
