>Religion insofar as it is a source of consolation is a hindrance to true faith; and in this sense atheism is a purification.Was she right?
>>25084853Her brother was the real genius. She was as retarded and irrelevant as Mozart's older sister.
>>25084853>Was she right?No. Sure it is bad to live in a state of naive and untroubled optimism, but the idea that religion does not fundamentally offer consolation is a perversion.
Be advised, OP is a vulgar semitic troll who's currently off his meds and tipping his yarmulke all over the board.
>>25084853She just took Kierkegaard to his logical conclusion.
>>25084940It is not the logical conclusion of Kierkegaard that religion should offer no consolation, lol.

>>25084909>the idea that religion does not fundamentally offer consolationAre you illiterate?
>>25085073>IM BOUT TO NUTTTTT
I'm not a religius guy, but she looks jewish so. . . no
>>25085130She's Catholic, you dumbarse
>>25085137(((catholic)))
>>25084936What's a yarmulke?
>>25084891Mozart's siblings were all child prodigies even the girls
>>25085130>>25085137>>25085139Jewess who concerted to Catholicism and got an early death of TB for her troubles. A 'consolation', if you will.There. I just put this woeful reply chain out of its misery.
>>25084891I have never seen a thread about Mozart sister.
>>25086393>Jewess who concerted to Catholicism and got an early deathAre her writings good? Edith Stein was another such person and she left behind some very good books.
>>25084853No, she contradicts herself by going from "true faith" to "atheism" in the same sentence. She's dissembling.
If she wasn't jewish, I could see what she was getting at, but since she's jewish, I have no choice but to assume bad faith and ulterior motives a priori until proven otherwise beyond the absolute slightest hint of doubt. So no, she's wrong.

>>25087162Isidore?
>>25084853Of course she's right. All saccharine pseudo-faith is idolatry.
>>25084853>insofar*sigh* add it to the list.
>>25084853I don't know. To be fair I don't have any idea what the fuck does she mean by this.
Right about the first part. Wrong about the second.
>>25084853>>25084909SPBP.The goal of religions is to achieve the true faith that will resolve the conflicts that the absence of true faith causes.Funny how she was fancing herself as a Catholic and then rejected the idea that religion leads to true faith.
>>25087460>The goal of religions is to achieve the true faith that will resolve the conflicts that the absence of true faith causes.*is to hide behind obscure elements because you don't have the courage or the strength and the honesty to find what it takes to be happy.
>>25087634>obscure elementsFiltered kek.
>>25084853Unless she defines "true faith," the assertion is meaningless.
>>25085226A Jewish fedora.
>>25084853She basically came to the same conclusion as Moldbug, that atheism is a form of pure Protestantism.
>>25084853I don't understand these people who seem to deliberately refuse to take the claims of a religion, especially Christianity, seriously.Christians are Christians because they believe Jesus Christ is God, and they believe He is God because He rose from the dead after being crucified. That's it. It's actually pretty simple. The Church is the Church because Jesus founded it on Peter's head and the line of of the Popes follows down from Peter's successors, and the lines of the bishops follow down as successors to the Apostles.That's it. That's all. That's the truth that Christianity and Catholicism are asking you to accept. You either do it, or don't. But if you don't there's no point in faffing around with weird philosophical constructs like so many of the mid-20th Century philosophers liked to do. Just go be an atheist and be done with it. Or if you can't stand being an atheist just shut up and go to Mass every Sunday.All these midcentury fucks just fagged around for no good reason, obfuscating and complicating something that's actually really pretty simple. I honestly respect atheist assholes like Christopher Hitchens more than somebody like Weil or Baudrillard or Girard, at least somebody like Hitchens wasn't trying to play some stupid game with religion.
>>25088554It is beyond language
This thread proves how hopelessly fucking dumb this board has become. There could have been an interesting discussion here but no one meaningfully engaged with the quote - half of the posters ITT lacked the reading comprehension to even understand it. Grim.
