And Prysson's answer came in post 144, beginning with the words ....
Christianity is built on the understanding that God is a perfect being. He is perfect in every way. He is the creator. He knows eveything and has all absolute power. His love is all encompassing.
And later the words ... That is the essential message of Christianity. Philosophically someone who is a chrisitian and truely is filled with the holy spirit will walk in the Lords footsteps and be a good and "christlike" person.
And later the words ... There is no such thing as a perfect person on earth. Only God could achieve that.
Prysson's words describe Christian philosophy well, so I'd congratulate Prysson for presenting them; but ...
How do we know what we know about Christianlity? What is the basis for its epistemology? Answer is Christian religious writings -- C.S. Lewis for instance.
Christian metaphysics is a given: a Christian's first source of knowledge is ... God
The basis for the "goodness" definitions behind Christian ethics is altruism.
Christian esthetics, what's esthetically important to Christians is not to be found in drama, art, literature, etc; but in the afterlife. Best exemplified in my C.S. Lewis quote about man being a nasty, pride filled and dirty creature.
Christian politics -- I'd call it the politics of virtue.
How am I doing, Prysson? And would you like to see a converse review of Rand's Objectivist philosophy?
