I shudder at the thought of your upbringing if curiosity is viewed as arrogance.
I'm not assuming that it applies, those are just the best tools I have at my disposal for understanding right now. I patiently await the monolith that changes that (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHWs3c3YNs4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHWs3c3YNs4).
- cmrdporcupine 5y agoMy upbringing was evangelical Christian... thus my distaste for theological supremacism.
- rglover 5y agoYeah, that will do it (I have a close friend in the same boat and understand the distaste). It's difficult, but I'd urge you to separate your views of God from that point of view.
- cmrdporcupine 5y agoBeh, I see it as a bonus having had that upbringing and moving on from it. Kind of like an immunization shot. I read a lot of theology and philosophy of religion, frankly, I'm quite religiously literate and my discipline in university was philosophy. But I'm an atheist, or maybe a scientific pantheist of some kind. There's no part of me that is against "asking questions", but part of inquiry is knowing which questions to ask.
