This is theoretical, not practical
Is there any reason to say this besides big words
It isn't theoretical. You're saying christianity teaches, practically speaking, to both die for your faith and become a celibate recluse? You're wrong.
>You're wrong
What is the endgoal-action at the end of christianity then, those things also aren't opposites, many christian saints were both celibate monks and martyrs
forgive "humanity" (yourself) with the help of "the king of kings" "the man on the throne" (yourself without sins or limits)
it's a mind trick. It just happens to be a step forward from most other belief systems
already made a thread about theory-telos though
They all have the same praxis of bureaucratization over time, roughly the same proportion of militarists and pacifists, the same old books and schisms and controversies. They are all the same shit. Except maybe shinto is less of a big deal
That is so original
Your ideas all blur the line between theory and praxis. The first two because nobody does them, the rest because everyone aspires to them.
>The first two because nobody does them
theyre still objectively the telos of those religions, the ultimate endgoal of christianity is martyrdom or celibacy, of islam its family and martyrdrom etc.
it isn't. The purpose of religion in society is not to tell you when to go to war, nor even to determine how big your family is. All these "major" religions (zoroastrianism?) say to submit to higher human authorities bearing the threat of force, not needlessly martyr yourself. Their goals relate to human experience, having a life free from the guilt of sin, (which arguably gets inverted in a majority atheist world, but that's a different discussion) living a pure life in the Muslim case, etc etc. They are inherently spiritual pursuits. To the degree that one fights or builds differently from the other, it's not the end goal of their spirituality.
excuse me, but reducing martyrdom to warfare is already massively inferred and completely read-into;
>Their goals
you universalizing these religions and shoving them all into a single "common" epistemological framework is also completely ridiculous and makes me believe youre either an aristotelian or a highly pretentious neo-sophist, either way you clearly lack proper discernment and base your points fully on reductionism
>two biggest religions both conveniently warlike
>the rest as tree huggers
case in point
Act offended all you like, I described those religions in terms of how they are practiced. It's my characterization of YOUR beliefs that sounds ridiculous.
that's not a counterargument, it's a statement
No u
It took you 3 posts to make 0 arguments
against what? after I destroyed your claim, there was nothing to respond to.
Right, what was my claim again?
three claims
that my first post ITT was theoretical, that yours describes a real telos, and that you have the right to get pissy over generalizations after making a post like OP. As it happens, none of those things required an argument. More like I said them back to you and that was it.
>that my first post ITT was theoretical
That is 1 claim, not 3, and it wasn't even that central; also i've had a counterargument in my first response already to which all you said was just polemics
>a counterargument in my first response
I don't see it here
>This is theoretical, not practical
that's just a wrong statement
nor here
doubling down on your previous post
nor here
feigning engagement when your intention was always to shut down
help me out
and the statement is, "if you don't like how I phrased your position, just refute it"
calling my post generalizing and sophistry is truly, genuinely not an argument because your thread is founded on just such a premise.
and I notice you have the two biggest religions both conveniently warlike, and the rest as tree huggers. It's true that both muslims and christians are currently engaged in wars, but I think the behavior of the so-called muslim world in response to Israel is proof enough that martyrdom isn't their major concern.
>philosophical
Do you philo me peter?
>aesthetic. Escape secular chaos with the majesty of god's art form
You are smoking something that's probably not legal.
Solid colors, geometry and calligraphy are anti-materialist art. These sweeping lines reach for heaven. Just because it sounds nice doesn't mean it's advanced, christianity is superior
>*tells you what to wear*
Wahhabis have no aesthetic. However, traditional Muslims like Sufis have peak aesthetic
No they don't. Muslims across the board have shit aesthetics, that's one of their most defining characteristics.

>Solid colors, geometry and calligraphy are anti-materialist art.
Yeah you're smoking something, islam is the most materialistic religion there is.
Look at these morons trying to be deep lol. Mystical union of man and the divine is the final endpoint in *all* religion, catholic and ethnic alike. Buddhism is really the outlier as the humanistic religion par excellence.
Damn... Totally reductive yet still expecting to be taken seriously... A post with such extreme contradictory logic, there can be no coherent response. In other words, a direct challenge to shut up and leave the thread, but I don't think I will. Hows about you shut the frick up and leave instead, if we're establishing dominance? Fricking moron.
buddhism is the opposite of any kind of humanism
Christianity = Live for Christ
ftfy anon
also forgot
>atheism = be a cringe neckbeard
>Zoroastrianism & Sikhism = do good things
FTFY. Nobody would consider poo eating as a good thing except Hindus.
