i dont think there's a convincing argument against it anywhere in here. from what i can tell its a long appeal to the need for rather than defense of moral objectivism. why is so much of christian theology based on moral objectivism? from what i can tell popular evangelicalism is also based on it. when did theology become moralism?

this is just an ad hom

>> On the other hand, any adequate account of the world other than downright materialism includes the concept of some original Being which, whether it be called First Cause, or Absolute, or God, is in its nature and existence really distinct from the world. Only such a Being can satisfy the demands of human thought, either as the source of the moral order or as the object of religious worship. If, then, pantheism not only merges the separate existences of the world in one existence, but also identifies this one with the Divine Being, some cogent reason or motive must be alleged in justification of such a procedure. Pantheists indeed bring forward various arguments in support of their several positions, and in reply to criticism aimed at the details of their system; but what lies back of their reasoning and what has prompted the construction of all pantheistic theories, both old and new, is the craving for unity. The mind, they insist, cannot accept dualism or pluralism as the final account of reality. By an irresistible tendency, it seeks to substitute for the apparent multiplicity and diversity of things a unitary ground or source, and, once this is determined, to explain all things as somehow derived though not really separated from it.

180 thing about Catholicism here is (outside of creedal affirmations and matters of strict faith and morals) the surprising amount of admissions of “we simply do not know.” “The matter is not binding on one’s faith, go ahead and assent, or reject, or decline to take a stance.” St Thomas was big on acknowledging truth wherever it may be found. Creation is not wholly devoid in substance from the Creator - principally through the Incarnation. His presence today, not only in the Eucharist, but also as Logos (Divine, cosmic, eternal force of generative intelligence, logic, and order) tells us that heresies like pantheism contain a fraction of truth that have the potential to eventually point souls to Christ.

Read the article on hesychasm, which is an early attempt to systematize the implications of the incarnation. It's absolutely vile.

https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07301a.htm

"In the Orthodox Church the controversy, waged furiously just at the time when the enemies of the empire were finally overturning it and unity among its last defenders was the most crying need, is a significant witness of the decay of a lost cause."

low IQ mudslinging like this is why i will never be a roman catholic
