A God created the universe in such way that it would generate sentient life. He did such thing because he wanted entertainment: observing the choices of mostly illogical creatures is the only thing that he cannot anticipate by sheer logic and thus it is the only thing that can surprise and fascinate him

Augustinian theology makes pretty good sense.
That whole "problem of Greek rationality" thing really helped medieval philosophy out in the long run.

>>9187953
augustin was a genius, but he could not produce a theology indipendent from christian values and his morality, and was thus doomed to be wrong

>>9187955
there isn't anything more than that

probably true. problem is, i came to that conclusion long ago.
now how to make this into the next big religion?

>> No.9188040

>>9188022
not possible and not meaningful.

if he truly exist he doesn't give a shit about being revered

religion's existance is based on the comfort it gives to those who follow it. and what comfort would this realization give to the ignorant and the weak?

no thank you. i'd make a religion that doesn't set up stupid rules (because there are none) and encourages their devotees to develope the ability to think independently and critically

you are right, I should have used it.

>>9188090
religions are appreciated in the way that they give you something to believe in, without putting effort in trying to find your own answer. a "religion" incouraging free tought would be an oximoron first and secondly would not be appealing to the larg majority of the human race, the one that is usually the base of religions worldwide

>> No.9188116

>>9188103
well, the idea of a god that doesn't give a fuck about morality and isn't going to judge you gives some structure. the structure of having the divine permission to do whatever you want. which will give an air of guidance but will provoke the process of finding out what it is you actually want to do

>> No.9188141

>>9188116
ok, then why should they follow you? if this thing you are putting up is merely a tool to become a powerful religious leader, it goes against your own aims to have a god that simply says: "do whatever the fuck you want".
