Binro the Heretic (he/him) (binroheretic@mstdn.social)'s status on Friday, 06-Sep-2024 23:35:09 JST Binro the Heretic (he/him) You don't need theology to understand or appreciate history, philosophy, psychology, or literature.
Kinda like you don't need to believe in fairies to appreciate your garden.

benny (benny@kirche.social)'s status on Friday, 06-Sep-2024 23:35:11 JST benny @BinroHeretic @lednaBM well, think what you like, I don't even know which theology studies you refer to, US "bible schools" or the good stuff at European universities.
Still you can consider it a waste, like I consider econom| a waste (no one needs a degree to know how to knot a tie)...
Theology does in fact give you a very broad sight: history, philosophy, psychology, literature... to name a few. I wouldn't want to miss it. -

Binro the Heretic (he/him) (binroheretic@mstdn.social)'s status on Friday, 06-Sep-2024 23:35:12 JST Binro the Heretic (he/him) I see theology as formalized bullshit pretending to be knowledge. Studying it's a waste of time, effort, and money.

benny (benny@kirche.social)'s status on Sunday, 08-Sep-2024 05:18:48 JST benny @BenAveling @lednaBM knowing like the natural laws alone does not yet help I'd say. You have to make something of it.
Or, put into the field of theology: Knowing that Paul did probably not write Hebrews does not yet help. You have to make something of it. -

benny (benny@kirche.social)'s status on Sunday, 08-Sep-2024 05:18:51 JST benny @BenAveling @lednaBM the comic paralellises science with religion, but that is a false representation of what religion is about.
Science helps us understand how the world works. Religion helps us to live in the world.
