When did you lads realize the Christian God is the plebbed-down version of Plato's form of the Good? It struck me as immediately evident and, in my humble opinion, is the finest of philosophical realizations.

The Christian God is a set of different lesser aspects of the pantheistic God. The Bible itself basically comes out and says so, but anyone who has studied and made use of the esoteric knows this very well. Io Pan!

That is far from true, lad; equating God with what Plato refers to as the demiurge is much more common.

When did you realize that the concept of "God" is real and only the words to describe it just change in all the world's ancient literature and religious texts

No shit, Plato (and Aristotle) were very influential for a lot of people, including the two most important theologians: Augustine & Aquinas.

This is not new, read more and stop trying to /lit/'s validation. It makes you look like a turbo-pseud

can we consider that the form of the good is a conception close to the holy spirit?

Plato had clever comebacks and decent answers, but he was very inconsistent. A bad philosopher

and who is to say that any description of god in ancient literature and religious texts is super accurate

like if i said some car in the distance is red and smells like poo makes it true when in truth it is red but doesn't smell like poo but i have no means of finding that out for myself (because i am locked in a cage). does that also invalidate what i said about it being red?

that's how people argue against the existence of god using scripture and it makes me laugh.

Just the version they can contemplate from the position of their lower Form. Different fingers pointing at the same thing.

>>8646024
Now you're either implying Augustine and Aquinas wrote the bible (which, as we all know, is nonsense) or your message is of no positive contribution to the discussion at all - in which case it must also be classified as nonsense. This, I am afraid, must lead to the conclusion that you are absolutely the last person on this board to call someone a turbo-pseud, lad.

Surely you're right. Now of course even

Certainly, lad. But this, we must now admit, goes for Christianity in general. All that is good is easily corrupted.

Good cannot be corrupted.

If it was corrupted, it was not good.

Not the good itself, of course, but every flawed ideology claimed to be modeled upon it certainly deserves to be called just that.
