  • Im a christian. But i agree with this philosopher. Philosophical reasoning has a limit. It cannot be compared to spiritual experience and it should be applied within the framework of divinity.
  • “Over-reliance on reason.” He has nailed it! I was aversed to philosophical learning coz i saw it as a threat to complete trust in the divine as a Christian, but now i see the coherence. We should rely on reason but not ‘over-rely’! 😮. Surely, there is an infinite power unlimited by reason and that is God. I understand.

    Philosophy is our reverse engineering process. Its a seriously needed tool.
  • @jeevacation
    Some points feel repeated a lot which was frustrating to watch
  • Fundamental religious principles are incompatible with reason. Also, why do people keep claiming that they know the “reality of God” because they read writings of people who did not even know that the earth went around the sun?
