Although I don't hold to any religious framework, I still deeply believe in god (A god which most aligns with the neoplatonic god).And I am wondering if their are any books which talk about God in general sense and books which can help me be more growned in my pursuit of God instead of mindlessly wondering like a hippie.Thanks in advance
There are many forms of mutually exclusive theism, there’s no such thing as general theism. But I suggest A History Of Indian Philosophy because it has many theistic forms and arguments.
Spinoza

>>25286426Satanic
>>25286362this is the exact book you are looking for
>>25286426>Demiurge worshipNext you'll recommend Charles Darwin.
>>25287143>>25287412you have never read spinoza
>>25287426The nihilistic jew monist who was utterly refuted by Jacobi?
>>25287743the one you haven't read
>>25287785You're a lazy as fuck jew with no argument.
>>25286362You could look into perennialism such as Aldous Huxley's book The Perennial Philosophy and Joseph Campbell's The Hero With a Thousand Faces. Also, I think Baháʼí aims to merge all major religions. There's The Secret Teachings of All Ages and William Walker Atkinson.
>>25286362>A god which most aligns with the neoplatonic godneoplatonism, like rabbinic judaism, is the people who were left behind
>>25286362>books which talk about God in general sense* summa theologiae by thomas* trypho by justin
>>25286362you might be interesting in my forthcoming book, concepts of Logos — non-incarnate Christology. in it, gemini traces the concept of Logos and how much of summa theologiae can be written without reference to Revelation
>>25287743Jacobi was reddit. Let's see what an actual philosopher (Fichte) had to say:>In so far as dogmatism can be logical, Spinozism is its most logical product... The first part of our system (the theoretical) is really, as will be seen hereafter, systematic Spinozism
>>25286362Have you tried.. the Enneads?
>>25286362Plato was about The Good, not a god.
>>25288328Well it's a good thing OP said Neoplatonic God and not Platonic God then
>>25286362Isn't "god" basically the worst possible word in existence? It conveys no meaning because it could convey any meaning. Further, it is the most baggage laden word possible. It could be a person who wants to know you and has absolute power and can send you to infinite torture, or it can just mean an impersonal abstract principle of the universe. It could mean a mythic character with certain limited powers or a spirit which inhabits a rock, animal, or feature of the land. It is sometimes defined as indefinable, other times as an exact list of attributes. Hands down the worst word available, objectively.
>>25288359Forgot to add that some people, especially on /lit/ will say something like Jordan Peterson's "god is whatever you value" so it can literally be porn or gambling or rationalism or abstract pleasure or power or money. The definitions are so vastly expansive as to be utterly worthless without extra context, which undermines the purpose of a word.
>>25288356I guess I just don't give a shit about some nonsense that doesn't even align with their own namesake and was trying to say it in a nicer way.
>>25288359>>25288363Regarding most people's use of the word I totally agree. However you have to keep in mind religion goes way deeper than most people's knowledge of it. I'm sure if you actually study theology it's all very clear. Make a distinction betwen a religion and what the average retard knows about it.
>>25288405>I'm sure if you actually study theology it's all very clear.No, if that were the case one of the acolytes would have produced a clear concise explanation that would clearly make everyone believe in it instead of using the same vague ethereal jargon that has been applied for centuries and typically just results in infighting.
>>25288422> if right and wrong are clear why do i engage in tactical nihilism? if God cared about babies, He wouldnt give women years to repent after murdering them
>>25288422Whoosh
>>25289060It's funny how these people enforce the same dualism they pretend they're against.
>>25287248Thanks i always though this was just about the Christian perspective of god, I will check it out>>25288044I will do some research on them, thanks>>25288049ok>>25288058ok>>25288246trying to read it rn>>25288328>neoplatonic god>>25288359Nigger recommend me a book or fuck off I don't care about doomer retardom
