“The Enlightened”
Lately, I’ve been reading a large number of books from numerous Christian apologetics. I think I’m partly influenced by the United States’ secular perspective and want to know what kind of explanations there are for the divine. There is an absurdly humongous amount of material ranging from various sciences and philosophy. I am slightly overwhelmed by how much religious and atheist thinkers ponder on the origin of life.
At the very least, I’m impressed by how much thought has been made in this subject despite the anti-theistic views I usually see in my environment. It’s quite a shame how the theory, “Intelligent Design” isn’t even considered not for intellectual merit, but for ideological ones.
Now there appears to be a resurgence of a group of thinkers who call themselves, “The Enlightened” and follow the school of “free thought.” These guys base the validity of truth on logic and reason, including metaphysical claims. All I can say is good luck. You’ll need it.
Children Eating Bears
So it’s been a while since I’ve taken a look at Forest’s Grove, and I couldn’t help but pause at one interesting quote from the Bible in one of his posts.
“And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. / And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.”
Kings 2:23-24, King James Version
New Blog for Reals
I’ve decided to make a new blog because my old livejournal account has been defunct for over a year. Here’s to a new age?
