The false rhetorical distinction between a vengeful, violent 'Old Testament' and a loving, peaceful 'New Testament' is deeply rooted in historic antisemitism. Pass it on. #Bible #religiousstudies #literature #religion

First ever #introduction: I’m Jan (“Yon”). Married, with one daughter who’s starting college next month.
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!

These days, my research is on data education and open science, but 15 years ago, I wrote an MA thesis on Japanese vocational theology. 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

@swasserstrom What do you teach in #religiousstudies ? That was my undergrad work. I mostly split my courses 2/3 Buddhism, 1/3 Christianity (ran out of #Buddhism courses).
Has 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.
It was a joy and honor today to attend the #Greensboro College honors convocation! Congratulations to the students in the Honors Center and Religion/Ethics/Philosophy Dept. who won awards! We are proud of you and are honored to have been a part of your academic journey!

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.

Ok, this mastadon thing is not so scary. Hi. I'm an Assistant Professor and anthropologist of religion who studies #cults and #transhumanism. I will occasionally post something meaningful, but might also post about Star Trek.
