Too many hobbies and interests, but these days #ttrpg & #boardGames, #scifi & #fantasy, and #piano take top spots. Particular fascinations include #consciousness, #linguistics, #psychology, #religiousStudies, and the #naturalWorld.
#Feminist, #antiRacist, #lgbtq ally, #environmentalist, #vegetarian (nearly #vegan), #antiImperialist, #antiCapitalist. Basically #leftist.
Glad to meet you!

Now, finally (after I discovered it was never archived in print or digitally) it is archived #openaccess CC-BY at Thesis Commons. It's not science per se, but if you're interested in #religiousstudies or #culturalsociology you may find it interesting. https://thesiscommons.org/7fd35

102 followers · 559 posts · Server mastodon.worldHas anyone - particularly in #ReligiousStudies - read Jesus the Magician by Morton Smith Jr? I know it was something of a classic in its time, and I am open to its premise, but it seems like he makes a lot of logical jumps without much explanation / support. Ie "Obviously this means..." kind of statements without "showing his work" to borrow from math.

In our time, we need the Great Books of All Civilizations:
" the purpose of higher education in a democracy was always attended with a very specific educational process—one that exposed students, particularly undergraduates, to the Great
Books of Western Civilization."

"What men think and expect, at once becomes an origin of the future, which is in their hands. The only hope is for horror to become conscious. Nothing but the most lucid consciousness can help us. Dread of such a future may perhaps prevent it. The terrible forgetting must not be allowed to take place" 199.

#TIL St Nicholas of Turkey, later associated with #Santa Claus, participated in the Council of Nicea, which developed the Nicean Creed, still recited in many #Christian churches today. He even purportedly slapped Arius of Egypt when Arius expressed doubt in the Trinity. Source: https://bit.ly/3GwAWMr (Julie Roys) #churchhistory #christianity #earlychurch #religion #ReligiousStudies

A wide range of religious beliefs have developed in our societies over time: polytheism, monotheism, atheism, more. How can we understand and compare them?

"Those individuals who yet remained intact as human souls encouraged us to hold fast to the ancient faith in man... Man cannot get lost entirely because he is created in the image of Deity" 148.
