- paulddraper 8mo ago> incongruous with certain values like fear of change and progress I essentially agree. Though “progress” connotes improvement. Brave New World was extremely “progressive.”
- pfannkuchen 8mo agoIt’s not the fault of the church that faith is incongruous with certain values like sin and blasphemy.
- Terretta 8mo agoCertainly it is, as the church defines the terms.
- pfannkuchen 8mo agoJust like “progress”! (Seems I was missing a /s)
- pfannkuchen 8mo agoJust in case: I am saying that the progress being referred to is progress in a particular direction, and that direction is a chosen one, and the choice is made by humans without any actual scientific basis. Just like blasphemy etc in religion have no actual basis aside from being in a direction other than the direction of the religion. To one group progress looks a lot different from what it looks like to another group, we can’t just say “progress” any more than we can say “blasphemy”.
- TimorousBestie 8mo agoHistorically, the Protestant and Catholic churches invested very heavily in liberal arts education in America; initially, more than the state did. The university (and even the liberal arts college) as an institution isn’t fundamentally incompatible with Christianity.
