One anon there recommended me Rene Guenon's work Which I appreciated but was not something I sought Looking forward to you all!

>https://8chan.moe/indiachan/res/2992.html I saw this thread just now glanced over it and...I regret posting my thread here Unironically over for me

>>5254 Most I can hope is please keep this thread in the line of reasoning behind existence and not its effects And please >No Logical Fallacies >No Fear mongering

>>5252 no offense, but this has been discussed countless times in rusty inch, and in various other threads in this chan, kinda bland. >Religion has one and only one functioning (base of existence) that is to tame one's inner bestialization and allow one self towards something (none of our business for now) Read Games People Play - Eric Berne I have touched upon the same topic in some other thread too

>>5252 >Please do not opt for sleeping on the problem our aim is to derive a solution even at personal scale please expand on the problem itself first.

>>5256 >no offense, but this has been discussed countless times in rusty inch, and in various other threads in this chan, kinda bland. I understand but imageboard content doesn't stay (its not loud and easily visible) and I don't know what is "rusty inch" >Read Games People Play - Eric Berne Alright downloaded the book thanks for the recommendation >>5257 >The problem <What is the function/reason of Religion from an epistemological perspective? as of now

>>5263 >I understand but imageboard content doesn't stay (its not loud and easily visible) and I don't know what is "rusty inch" look up the random/b threads and the night time thread in this board, also the /lit/ threads, you might find alot of discussions you like

>>5263 Well. Most base knowledge of sciences including astronomy, medical and mathematics comes from staunch worshipper. The 4th Veda, texts of patanjali, works of aryabhatya and others. Bach and so many others write their best works in the name of god. You may not believe in divinity but they did and their works contributed to the world. There are other anons who can write in detail on these topics of Indian contribution to science and maths. Idk why you bring a post Church talking point into Indiachan. This isn't r\aethism. We don't have a tradition of jailing and murdering scientists.

>>5263 The modermity we experience now is changing. The new gods will fall as soon as the endless debt that feeds them does. The old gods are eternal.

>>5252 The term 'religion' is heavily contested in academia. From a recent paper: "I label the three aspects or radically different ways of approaching religion as R1 (soteriology or salvation religion), R2 (social/communal religion), and R3 (instrumental religion). Starting from the bottom up, as it were, R3 or instrumental religion covers activities that posit supernatural beings (now sometimes called parahumans); humans’ relations with them are mostly about avoiding or mitigating misfortune. R2 is a label for social or communal religion. It is about rituals and attitudes that focus on society, in short about belonging. In this perspective, the supernaturals are guarantors of, expressions of, or ways of talking about social arrangements. Finally, there are salvation religions, R1, which disregard or downgrade the supernaturals and focus on a transcendent god or principle. Each form of religion presupposes a very different stance towards supernaturals and towards ritual. Given that theories of religion usually focus on one or other of these different stances, it is not surprising that they often talk past each other." https://rai.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/1467-9655.13955

>>5265 Thank you I'll look those thread and link the post here >>5269 This five-two-six-nine post is complete thread derailing attempt What are you talking about? If you don't understand the thread's topic still ask me again I'll try to put it more clearly again >Most base knowledge of sciences including astronomy, medical and mathematics comes from staunch worshipper Okay. None of this thread's concern >Bach and so many others write their best works in the name of god None of this thread's concern >You may not believe in divinity but they did and their works contributed to the world. Nothing to do with me believing in divinity. None of this thread's concern >There are other anons who can write in detail on these topics of Indian contribution to science and maths. Looking forward to different perspectives >Idk why you bring a post Church talking point into Indiachan post Church what? I don't get the reference >This isn't r\aethism None of this thread's concern. Need elaboration on what you meant by this statement >We don't have a tradition of jailing and murdering scientists. Just stop at this point. You don't have any idea what you talking about >>5270 I repeat this thread is not about whether god exists or not; Not about whether god good or bad either; Not about whether theists good or bad either Its about what are the basis of religion, why religion formed, how it formed that too from an epistemological perspective meaning what intellectual benefit does religion serves "IF DIVINITY WASN'T THE CASE" >but duh divinity is the case I don't care about the validity of that later if clause in this thread that's the very reason for this thread's existence Our concern of religion in this thread is epistemological and nothing else; just concerned about the reasoning behind religion, nature of knowledge surrounding religion, origin of religion just with no divine entity involved (just for this thread), meaning of religion from a intellectually benefiting perspective and others Music you posted were good though. I liked those two >>5273 This is the kind of discussion I was looking for I'll reply once I briefly go through that paper, its citations and related ones from the web Thanks for replying

>>5288 >Our concern of religion in this thread is epistemological and nothing else; just concerned about the reasoning behind religion, nature of knowledge surrounding religion, origin of religion just with no divine entity involved (just for this thread), meaning of religion from a intellectually benefiting perspective and others The Original Post did a bad job of explaining this. I have had my dosage of reading academia and jargon. But this might be helpful for you https://biologos.org/common-questions/how-could-humans-have-evolved-and-still-be-in-the-image-of-god This may seem off topic, but watch Dr Stone the anime.

>>5288 > Its about what are the basis of religion, why religion formed, how it formed that too from an epistemological perspective meaning what intellectual benefit does religion serves "IF DIVINITY WASN'T THE CASE" Are you 14
