>Too intelligent to be an atheist>Too intelligent to bow down to institutional religionWhat's the right course of action here? For instance, I can sympathize with Christianity, a lot, but there are certain ways in which I just need to be unorthodox about it, which would make me a heretic in the eyes of the Catholic Church and some other sects. And then again, I love Stoicism and borrow a lot from its ethics, but it is an incomplete school of thought in the realm of metaphysics and the objective grounding of their morality. They repeatedly acknowledge God, but mostly as an abstract idea that they can't fully explain.Embrace perennialism? Treat all religions as ultimately man seeking God and not God seeking man?
>>534325177newton was a christian
>>534325177>i will be seen as hereticalevery denomination is heretical to every other denomination
>>534325235Yes, a very unorthodox one. He was an Arian.
>>534325177You overestimate your intelligence
>>534325177Newton was an alchemist at his core.
>>534325177He was a Kabbalist Royal Society faggot
>>534325177He’d be an atheist today with a non-Eurocentric 1700’s world experience Don’t take this as the win it isn’t
>>534325327but how does that affect me personally?>"Now John answered and said, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow with us.” But Jesus said to him, “Do not forbid him, for he who is not against us is on our side."- Luke 9:49-50
>>534325235he privately rejected the doctrine of the Trinity
>>534325558Okay, tranny, if you say so

>>534325780You must be a bot because that doesn't change the fact of what I said.
>>534325945slavniggers like him are retarded, their cognitive processes are little more than a series of if-then statements. there's no more point in seriously talking to them then there is in talking to a reptile.
>>534326082This anon gets it
>>534325585Yeah, I like to think that mere Christianity suffices. No religion or philosophy will ever remain pure and true to its roots in this world of putrid humans.
>>534325558The majority of scientists are theists, even today. The existence of God is a question of philosophy and logic, not a scientific question. The same processes of critical thinking and deductive reasoning were available back then just as they are now. Of course, I understand that you in particular probably see gay parades and think "damn, I want to be there getting a public pounding, I will make myself believe that God's not real so I don't feel guilty about it." Yeah, those sort of things were not available back then, so you have a point there.

>>534325235Newton wouldn't have been a Christian had he been born after Darwin.
>>534327196Newton would gladly send this crypto-kike Darwin to execution like he did to other coin clippers of his time
>>534327125I understand that you are not among those high IQ atheists as you love to talk about things you don't understand or know anything about.What are your sources on Stoicism? Youtube videos with AI-made Greek statue thumbnails? I encourage you to read the Enchiridion, Meditations, Seneca's dialogues, etc... All of them use the word Logos/the gods/God interchangeably and point to a deterministic metaphysical reality that sustains the Universe. That is the very definition of God. They don't have to believe in the God of a particular religion to be theists.
>>534325177Eternal causality. Now fuck off.
>>534325177Fuck Catholicism. It's where "Judeo-Christian" bullshit comes from. Jesus didn't say to elect some guy to speak on his behalf when he's gone.
>>534327584>Jesus didn't say to elect some guy to speak on his behalf when he's gone.He literally did, though.>(Matthew 16:18-19): >And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.However, he did not explicitly say "and you shall appoint a guy to replace you and so on and on until this world's done, and Rome might as well have primacy over all of the other sees."That's what could be debated.
>>534325177find peace in appreciating the universe's infinite complexity
>>534327799i'm so tired of protestants. so tired.
>>534325235Newton was an alchemist
>>534327125>Atheists have higher IQ scoresChristian girls swallow and like it in the pooper
>>534325177It’s called “non-denominational” christianity. You don’t need some faggot in a robe to (((interpret))) what is written plainly.
>to smart for the lies of othersNewton was just like me when you think about it.
