But if we are doomed, as you say, than philosophy is truly useless beyond absolving us of any personal guilt. And, similar to manifest destiny, future generations will eventually do whatever they please too, believing in defeatism. Except that whole mentality didn't even take hold in players 20 years ago, excluding Stynkfyst and <The Curse>.

Yes, it's only a game but the developers, being equivalent to gods, said it could not be done, even intervening when the impossible was being done, and yet...

If we're taking into account the finer details, tribes may have risen similarly but they most definitely suffered their own unique downfall, unless revisionists are already having their way with history books. "Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."

The word philosophy comes from the words philo and Sophia.

Sophia: Wisdom
The Hebrews called that form "Chokhmah" and Ruach Ha'Kodesh (breath of God)

Christians call her "The Holy Spirit'

The Greeks called her Athena.

Philosophy through the lens of a nihilistic atheist is absolutely meaningless, dipshit. You don't even have a language, by which to convey ideas, without theology.


Moreover, you are so fucking stupid, while claiming to gno things (claiming all others' knowledge as inclusive in YOUR sum of knowledge), that you didn't even Gno (Root:Gnosis, origin: God as "Nous") this basic Truth.

Sorry Mario, your princess Sophia is in another castle, if he real.

Philosophy is synonymous with wisdom. As in Sophie's Choice, sophist(icated), sophomore, etc. So....?

It seems the commonly held belief is that language came from mythology, not religion or theology.

Where was that claim made, the one about being highly knowledgeable? Either way, that's one confusing rant/argument you've written out.

Under terminology and connotations, theology is described as "discourse on god".
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_theology

Also, people can be agnostic/atheistic and wise, the two are not mutually exclusive. Similarly, people can believe in a god and be foolish.

I actually remember spending a day researching the origins of the word "god" and what you wrote...

...didn't ring any bells, church or otherwise.

No mention of god in either.

Nous as God, Mind, and Reason. If you remove the modern retard's anthropomorphism in theology, it's psychology/Philosophy describing God as the architect who keep objective reality RE-IF-IED while our minds reify our subjective realities

It's french meaning 'ourselves' so I would assign it as an Enlightenment term. Jackals. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
