_Jewish Philosophy as a Guide to Life_ is probably your best extended single piece on religious belief...also _Renewing Philosophy_ is a good place too.
There is no sound more sinister -- at least on our shared, terrestrial plane-- than the smug, knowing laughter of a pack of analytic philosophers. Truly chilling.
Well not sure about sinister but it’s hard not to notice how amusing Hilary found the development of his arguments -particularly the recursive move. I believe we get the word ‘hilarious’ from him.
I would argue that the sound a zealot makes who is sure that they are acting 100% within the will of their God(s) is many times more terrifying. I was a CA officer in the army and I've heard it in Afghanistan and Iraq. I also live in the South in the US and I have heard it from Christians when they are casting aspersions on people they deem as sinners who ought to be removed or at least suppressed in society.
People keep telling me that god is unknowable, but then they go out of their way to tell me all the things they KNOW god wants me to do and not do. Like pick your lane people.
God cannot be evaluated by any human propositions. God cannot be wise or not wise, merciful or cruel, etc., as we aren't able to clearly conceive the concept of god, as his nature remains abstract to us. We must admit that the human comprehension is extremely limited no matter how we try to develop it either through religion, philosophy or other means. Either you believe with no logical application or otherwise. But this "otherwise" is still rooted in belief.
Yeah, it depends on ? ( Knowledge as in the most respected aspect must be especially when in it comes to ( religion) in a secureler mode with evidence to chut the bigots one for all... ? As I see and think
@bankafouf Once you indulge in it, you're mired in a priori logic chopping, that nonsense on stilts. Either that, or consulting with ancient text for the final word.
can someone recommend a book or paper by Putnam on religion/theology etc?

I think this comment says more about you than philosophers

Let’s be emphatically apophatic about philosophy
Putnam on the Ritz
Dude sounds like Jeff Goldblum if he were teaching a class

Always radical
I enjoyed this talk, but it was abstruse.

“God cannot be evaluated by any human propositions” is a human proposition evaluating God.
@@kiDchemical Yep, a vicious circle. We are limited.
god is anything but good
Theology, yuk.
