Or do adopt pre-existing meaning systems
>>42670750the full bible is derivable knowledge
>>42670750I just look for common through-lines in everything and end up seeing really obvious shit that everyone else misses because they're too afraid of looking like an idiot.
>>42670750Neither. Everyone follows the same patterns of meaning involuntarily. Do you choose the feeling of meaning when you fall in love? Feed yourself? Do you choose to see beauty in what you find beautiful?The cores of religion, philosophy, culture all share many common features. Most of these are not arbitrary. They are just different metaphors describing, pointing toward the evolved features of human brains. Any action is an implicit valuation of something above another. You wouldn't type your post if you weren't enthralled by meaning.
>>42670777The bible appears to be the exact opposite. It depicts "knowledge" as a forbidden fruit from the tree and spends thousands of pages trying to convince the reader that this "original sin" is the source of all suffering and the reader should submit to god. With the new testament being so manipulative that the texts are trying to shame the reader back into submission by telling him that god sacrificed an aspect of himself to cancel out that disobedience, so the reader is now morally black mailed to submit
>>42670814No, that's just knowledge that you aren't properly prepared to integrate into a proper epistemological hierarchy. That's why it is disruptive and exiling.Much of the Bible is about integrating more and more foreign knowledge into a stable framework. Nigga why do you think God works for 6 days and RESTS for one? The rest is water, foreign, cyclical time, renewal - tinkering at the fringes. If all you have is dry land, you have drought, famine and death. If all you have is water you drown. Think about how you've learned. When you read a 4chan thread, do you replace all of your previous knowledge with the information contained therein? Or do you take what can be integrated into your preexisting framework of truth?
>>42670835Yeah time is knowledge. Knoweldge of good and evil is more about irreconcilable category. Such breaks the framework or knowledge and time, creating death as epistemology when our lives are not made to derive sensory proposition from death. It is our own experience. Everything is the heights we may reach as the made image of God. Phenomena of bias in our life is the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil. But the tree is really subjective.
>>42670750Both. When it is convenient you go along a pre-existing meaning, but when it stops being convenient for you then you ex-nihilo a new meaning that suits you better. That's what a God does. Don't be a sheep, always think for yourself.
I'm just going to say this and it's going to be straight blasphemy. In the false world the satanist is the true believer, because they believe in anything at all.
>>42670902Yeah, no shit - gnosticism is blasphemy. Great realization, you moron. lol
>>42670877thats gonna be a heckin Larino from me
>>42670907Sure but it's a statement about dychotomy. Realistically they aren't even a real satanist.
>>42670919It's like standard Jewish doctrine. That's why it's stupid. Realistically it's just a study of categories which makes sense 2k years ago as a kind preteaching before trade so that you don't get brought down by intellectual dogma. You have to remember churches used to be one of the only kinds of teaching you'd get that's be standardized. This is why religion is stupid.
>>42670936not really stupid people can't build churches at allreality is those places were made so that lectures could be held without a need of microphonesall while gooning to the artistic pictures depicting the real world versus the eternal state of existing above it allwithout faith the world as now is what you getcompared to the old way of living where people would actually travel on foot entire continents and settle wherever the fuck they wanted this current time is absolutely suffocated by fear of guns and bombs
>>42670969Hey nigger I'd have sex with you and explain the horticultural nature of mind relative to the cultivated appreciation of old Western religiousity but we're on the internet and if I could touch someone's hand and modulate my voice so as to psychologically prime them to know the domain I am speaking to I would. Instead I must speak to engine dychotomy in their head as the only way to speak to these people is through brutal nature of fucking as living and the haphazard way we faithfully represent that our own logic of language as known in normality is irrepresentaive of the higher infinite in God's domain. That's why religion is stupid, *pounds chest* he's here. The way of a preacher in modern times with his flock is with shit on his face.
>>42670980whatever you saymorals are not something you can copy from real humansyou either have it or you don't
>>42671003I know, it's about not letting them die. Christian lesson. Covenant. "Ye shall surely die."
>>42670835It has been some time that I read that bronze age fan fiction, but knowledge is as far as I remember not a theme in it.
>>42670750Meaning? What makes you think I have any of that?
Yes.
>>42672264even that is meaning, though radical anti-meaning — ex-nihilo to nihil
