The Founders believed in 'Nature's God'. This conception of 'self-evident' is premise dependant, to which we are unsure if the Founders were interested in problematizing it in this way. However, they did allow for one to believe in no god, which is contradictory (or is it simply a matter of tolerance?); and thank goodness it is! When Christianity is manifested into a worldly account of people and life, and if the individual accepts the unfoundedness of the doctrine for assuming justification a posteriori, it leads one to atheism lest one ignores contradiction as the Founders did. I appreciate Slavoj Zizek on this subject.
@@danielcoetzee5793 Christianity is situated by history and culture and everything else. Its less that Christianity foretells of its own fall from grace, instead we look to the psychological conditions for its success and its inevitable fall.
@@JS-dt1tn "Christianity foretells of it's own fall from grace..."?!!! Where on earth did you get that from...? Christianity is all about finding grace and forgiveness and living under grace (in a state of forgiveness and pardon) and NOT in sin under judgement and condemnation! Romans 8:1 "There is therefore no condemnation to them that is in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh..." It is exactly the opposite of what you said. It is actually the restoration for all mankind who have already fallen from grace to reconciliation with God in Christ! Huge difference...!
@@danielcoetzee5793 no I mean to say that the culture that Christianity develops comes to take the Christian-moral interpretive schema beyond Christianity itself. Thats why we had the metaphysical thinkers of the 19th century, why science comes into its own. Becuase Christianity sows the seeds for its own nihilistic demise.
Those truths are not self evident. They are not universal. They only apply if you believe in a God. I don't believe in any God therefore they are not self evident.
The claim of self-evident 'truths' (i.e. axiomatic) is intellectual laziness regardless of the specific instantiations of the purported truths that are self-evident. One might as well rely upon and resort to mythology as a causal framework.
Great lecture and beautiful background!
Great video!!

Everything leads one to atheism according to a atheist....even the declarations by God Himself...!

@@danielcoetzee5793 but thats just the problem of rationalization. Don't even get me started on the problem of legitimacy.
why not use axioms to measure then self evidence? couldnt something like perception itself be an axiom?

So causality is your framework!?
