RE: Atheist Professor vs. Student - A (not so) Brilliant Conversation
I don't agree. We can't have different meanings of the same concept "truth" depending on the context. Truth is, will and should be universal.
Yeah it's like Nietzsche said, religion dag its own grave when it started talking about objective truth. That was the beginning of the end. Basically everything the Catholic Church did (they approached the issue of the existence of God very rationally). There's some wisdom (or sneakiness?) in the (opposite) approach of the Eastern Orthodox Church, that preferred to make their theology apophatic ("we can't talk about God").
Oh I like that idea of a apophatic theology. Never heard of it. I feel like that is indeed the proper way of a religion to act.
On the other hand, the objective approach of the Catholic Church in some way opened up the door for the Enlightment to creep in.
And a quick fistbump for a fellow Nietzsche-n!
