The men so high in their castles, resplendent in their grand array,looked down upon the earth and reflected this upon the day.


That men were so easy to be held under their sway.

Their minds never made, today's diamond is but tommorow's spade

Then a magi walked onto the castle balcony,and the wise men, having spoken with him for some time, were thouroughly convinced that the magi was right. For of course the men now realized, the magi had always been right . The magi then preceded to show the men now how the world should be viewed from the lofts of the tower. And with that, the peasants toiled, the soldiers died, the priests exhorted, and the magi was right, for the men knew he was.

ive basically come to that conclusion as well. Really doing the will of god is not easy, comfortable, or even "possible" for most people. The gritty reality of what god calls us to do is honestly frightening sometimes

How can I become more educated on Christian Philosophy/Thought? preferably books on the subject

I started this thread :^)

"injust" "evil" is more along the lines of what I meant

can we really say that "racism" is always objectively wrong?

it's about the reconqusita. Boabdil was the last muslim ruler in spain, it's meant to be reflective of that period in Spanish history

thanks for the thoughts, where's your work, I cn offer some critiques

Boabdil and the imam:


this land we have conquered, our might we have shown

but harder than pastures and cities, mens hearts are to own
I would really appreciate some criticism

I was trying to comment about people think modern thinking is \more right than any way of thinking that has come before.
i'm working on it, and it's a much longer piece , but I put together a "rushed" version to post ITT

the magi was important, why dont you post something instead of posting unconstructive criticism?

The men so high in lofty castles, in their grand array, looked down upon the earth and reflected this upon the day.


that men were so easy to be held under they’re sway.

the minds of men are never made, today’s club is next year’s spade.

just then a magi walked onto the castle balcony, and the men , then speaking with him for some time, were thouroughly convinced that the magi was right. For of course the men reasoned, the magi had been right all along. The magi then proceded to show the men how to correctly view the world from the lofty balcony. And with that the peasnts toiled, the soldiers died, the priests exhorted, and the magi was right, for the men knew he was.

are you retarded? god gave us free will, he most likely knew about satan's presence, because he told adam and eve to stay away from the tree of knowledge

>Colossians 2;8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ."
while yaweh might have been the national god of ancient isreal, imm ready to accept he is the right one

Was Yaweh just a tribal war god?
