Here’s your theological neoplatonist bro

>> No.17446097

>>17446083
Shit like this is why I despise Neoplatonism so much. They literally just hide behind paradoxes so they don't have to have a substantive ontology.

Well, there isn’t any god, so it makes just as much sense as the Cathlick

All based thinkers and traditions agree upon the idea that God transcends being.

>> No.17446510

>>17446150
This attitude from atheists is quite silly. Even if you believe that religion is false, you can still recognize that certain false beliefs are more probable than other false beliefs. It's quite obvious, for example, that saying the earth is a perfect sphere instead of an oblate spheroid makes much more sense than saying that the earth is flat, even if both of those things are false.

but having no substantial (that is, pretentious) ontology is the only way to approach it through through being, that is, other than through a word.

Pretending to a substantial ontology is equivalent to saying that the word fire, burns.

ELI5: god has to be to be god, but super god is god because he doesn't have to be

ELI500: the godhead is a positively charged nothingness, being is grounded by non-being

it's more that sense transcends reason, because the latter is merely the mental aspect of the former.

>> No.17448088

>>17448057
This correlates to the western/eastern difference in paradigm between transcendence and liberation; to transcend reason is merely to get to the root of it, not to actually realise a higher, but the deeper dimension of being, which is non-referential experience.

transcendence of self is just the effective aspect of it's realisation as insubstantial and thus immanently absolute; supreme self is no-self.

People focus on being original, not realising all this to be pure origin.

I think you have some personal investment in deluding yourself that there is no God. I can't even imagine what you are running from that a concept of the absolute makes you seethe.

I don’t seethe over this. I try to inform the young and impaired minds around here of the good news, the mindset that will set them free of the torment of religion. I do this out of love.
No god can exist, no god need exist. The thing you’re looking for is a storybook character, an invention just like Superman.
