>'The reason the very concept of God has become at once so impoverished, so thoroughly mythical, and ultimately so incredible for so many modern persons is not because of all the interesting things we have learned over the past few centuries, but because of all the vital things we have forgotten.' - David Bentley Hart, The Experience of God: Being, Consciousness, Bliss

How can Dawkins even recover?

>One cannot, alas, remain an infant forever; we must all sooner or later put away childish things; toy-land, toy-land, once you pass its portals . . . (and so on). In the end, if we want to think deeply about ultimate questions, Dawkins is not the man for us. We all have to outgrow him and his kind and all that they represent. Happily, the buoyant callowness of his most recent book invites us to do just that. In a sense, it gives expression to a degree of self-awareness on Dawkins’s part that has never been conspicuous in his work in the past, and of which he had seemed until now incapable. It suggests that, at some level, he has learned to recognize his ideas as essentially idle diversions for unformed minds—something on the order of a birthday-party clowns or miniature ponies or balloon-animals—and in this way it gives us license to ignore him with more geniality than we might otherwise have been able to manage. He means well, after all; he simply is not—and never will be—a thinker for adults. So, though outgrow him we must, we need not do so with rancor or disdain. We can even, if we wish, pause one last time before departing the nursery to appreciate his awkward but earnest ingenuousness, smile at his artless games and rambling stories, and perhaps fondly pat him on the head. In that sense, this book is a gift.

Nah, it's more that people got tired of performing mental gymnastics to explain God's hiddenness.

Explanations for the existence of God are plenty. Explanations for the existence of the Christian God - that's where Christians get in trouble. The most cogent explanation I've heard was that the Christian God is perceived in the heart. Of course, internet Christians never make this argument and instead huff and puff and act like retards. I swear they'll make atheism cool again with their faggotry.

This book frustrated me. I really love DBH! He's my favorite theistic writer! But I think this is one of his weaker books - he really showed in this book that he's primarily a polemicist, not someone who's, well, very good at putting forward a philosophical argument for theism.

To his credit, he does say that's not his main purpose: his main purpose is just to explain the classical theist conception of God rather than defend his existence. And he does that somewhat, though unfortunately I ended up walking away more convinced of the untenability of the classical theistic God than I was before (DBH's explanation of divine simplicity and his waving away of its well-known problems does not do divine simplicity any credit). I was also bothered by outright errors in explaining concepts like the principle of sufficient reason and necessity and contingency, and these errors seemed basically fundamental to his arguments in part I. Really, I had issues with this book all around.

Marxism is a heavily Christian doctrine, despite being atheistic. Bertrand Russell had noticed this, although his scheme is too small. Many other parallels can be traced:

Garden of Eden : Primitive communism (i.e. golden age myth)
Evil Spirit/Devil : Self-interest
The Apple : Private property
The Fall : Beginning of agricultural society
Periods of Captivity in Egypt, Babylon etc. : Economic history before capitalism (slavery, serfdom etc.)
Rise of Rome / John the Baptist : Industrial Revolution and capitalism
Jesus Christ : Karl Marx
The Apostles : Engels / Marxist philosophers
The Gospels : Das Kapital
The Church : The Party
Missionary movement : Marxist education
Missionary internationalism : Communist internationalism
Conversion: When you become a Marxist / party member
The martyrs : Gramsci and others
The sacred shrines and relics: Lenin's Mummy etc.
Festivities : Worker's Day, parades etc.
The Anti-Pope: Trotsky and other dissidents
The confusion before the Final Judgement : Late stage capitalism, accentuation of its "contradictions"
The Final Judgement : Communist revolution
Hell : Punishment of the capitalists
Purgatory : Transitory state between the revolution and "real communism", in which the remaining sins are slowly washed away as the system gradually attains perfection
Paradise : the completion of the process, i.e., perfect communism

"The first will be the last, and the last will be the first" : "The rich will be gulag'd, and the poor will be rich"

The Logos of God is like a grain of mustard seed (cf. Matt. I3:3I) : before cultivation it looks extremely small, but when cultivated in the right way it grows so large that the highest principles of both sensible and intelligible creation come like birds to revive themselves in it. For the principles or inner essences of all things are embraced by the Logos, but the Logos is not embraced by anything. The grain of mustard seed is the Lord, who by faith is sown spiritually in the hearts of those who accept Him. He who diligently cultivates the seed by practising the virtues moves the mountain of earth-bound pride and, through the power he has gained, he expels from himself the obdurate habit of sin. In this way he revives in him self the activity of the principles and qualities or divine powers present in the commandments, as though they were birds.

- Maximus the Confessor

My Self within my heart is smaller than a grain of rice, smaller than a grain of barley, smaller than a mustard seed, smaller than a grain of millet, smaller even than the kernel of a grain of millet. The Self in my heart is larger than the earth, larger than the mid-region, larger than heaven, and larger even than all these worlds. He who is the sole creator, whose desires are the desires of all, whose odours are the odours of all, whose tastes are the tastes of all, who is everywhere, who has no sense organs, and who is free from desires—he is my Self and is in my heart. He is no other than Brahman. When I leave this body, I shall attain him. He who firmly believes this has no doubt in his mind. This is what Śāṇḍilya has said.

I've been enjoying Edward Feser, CS Lewis, and just ordered a bunch of GK Chesterton and John Hick. Will this fit nicely into my growing collection?

>Harvard professor and popular science author Steven Pinker is not out of his depth in Enlightenment Now, as he is perfectly suited to the intellectual shallows.
>While reading Steven Pinker’s Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress I was comforted by the knowledge that I would be compensated for my opinion of it. Here it is: Don’t bother.
>Enlightenment Now is the latest book by Pinker, a Harvard professor of psychology and prolific writer of pop academic books and articles. It is really two books for the price of one, but this is a burden, not a bargain.
>Throughout the book he misinterprets and misrepresents figures ranging from Burke to Hitler, and retcons anything he likes into the Enlightenment, and anything he dislikes out of it (i.e. attempts at the rationalization of society that failed horribly, such as communism). His historical and philosophical narratives tend to have more narrative than history or philosophy.

Where in the Bible is it actually written that everything that happens happens according to God's design? There seems to be pretty random stuff happening God doesn't approve of, like Adam and Eve eating from the tree of knowledge, people being sinful leading to the flood, etc

God doesn't really seem all-powerful in the Bible, in the sense that he controls everything. He just smashes the chessboard from the table every now and then.

most christians believe in that lie that god loves everyone. if this were the case he would not send most people to hell. you don't put people you love in a concentration camp to be tortured for all eternity

noah's flood suggests god hates mostly everyone. he'll save a few people like he did with noah and his family and then kill everyone else. this is what judgement is gonna be like

all these right-wing christians who think they will be saved with be destroyed

right-wing christians never preach what the bible teaches

all throughout psalms, proverbs, isaiah it talks about defend the poor, the fatherless, the widow and the oppress. i never hear right-wingers talk about that shit.

They're just fundamentally so similar in ideals, minus any worship of God, that I don't know how more Marxists and Christians pick up on this. They're natural allies, if only they could get over the dispute about God.
