Atheist Explains What Real Christianity Is

I don’t know of anything more radical and existentially transcendent than Christianity. It is a command to give up this life and live in service for another, which means to live in Christian love. There is no one who is a real Christian and also a hater, there are only real Christians who suffer for the love of Christ and the Kingdom of God.

The Highest Concept

• Upvotes

The highest concept is Logic. Of course, Logic is first and foremost a fact. However, this doesn’t change the fact that Logic is also the highest concept because it is the standard used to construct and order all concepts.

What is interesting is that man, through his imagination, can attempt to think of a higher concept in the being of a God.

This is not a claim that God exists, it is simply an observation about what man can attempt to rationally do through his imagination.

But what I find so fascinating is the attempt of imagination to try to legitimately construct a greater and higher concept than Logic. Here, merely asserting theological premises that claim they are higher or more primitive than Logic, doesn’t, and cannot, count as a legitimate proof that the claim itself transcends the ontological status of Logic, because the claim still presupposed a Logic more fundamental than itself.

Very Important: all Antinatalists should be STRONG advocates for dying with dignity.

This is the logical outworking of an Antinatalist position. Antinatalists should understand that knowledge here is one of the most important forms of knowledge that a human can possess. All Antinatalists should be strong defenders and advocates for dying with dignity.

All modern philosophers believe in truth but not a single one can tell you what it is?

If objective truth is “a widely held position in academic philosophy” then one should be able to clearly state what this widely held truth is.

I have seen this many times. The reason this happens: a person confessing that they believe in truth only to turn around and functionally deny it, is because they are trying to posture out of the ramifications of having to live with the consequences of holding that truth is subjective. But once a person claims that all logic is “constructed” they have reduced all their knowledge to the solipsism of their construction. It’s a matrix they cannot exit.

What’s tragic about this is that it’s actually an ignorant inversion of reality. The truth is that Logic is the matrix we cannot exit when it comes to knowledge.

The problem is that philosophers want it both ways. They want to be able to appeal to truth when it supports the beliefs they desire, and they want to be able to reject it when it refutes the theories they love. (Oh how this reminds us of theology!)

But it’s simple. If the truth exists, you should be able to clearly state what it is and demonstrate that the substance of your statement is true. After all, there is a reason why you believe that truth exists. If you reject the existence of truth, then you shouldn’t be like religious hypocrites, but should realize and accept the fact, based on your subjectivity, that you don’t even have the ground to object to what is being stated here.

This is my official statement on Christianity as an Atheist: Christianity is humanistically radical and demanding, I don’t know of any philosophy that is more existentially demanding in terms of personal integrity and ethics. It directly affronts the ego.
