Well, you could also factor in the theology of the Essences but hey, who on this forum would even consider it? Certainly not the mythicists.Secret Alias wrote: ↑Thu Jul 21, 2022 12:10 pmThat's obviously not the literary purpose of the gospel.The purpose of the gospel is clear; God is good and Satan is evil and they both want you to make a choice who you will serve.

Who or what were the Essenes. They're so remote now they're almost mythical.

The purpose of the Gospels is that of providing etiological faerie tales for the eucharist and the baptism, making them look like fulfilment of Scripture.

You seem to be as ill-informed about animal behaviour as you are about existentialism.John T wrote: ↑Thu Jul 21, 2022 5:06 am
Jean-Paul Sarte the father of Existentialism would be proud of your little essay. That God does not exist, therefore there are no objective values or religious commandments to appeal to. Let us return to the savage, brutal ways of the animal. Might makes right, etc.
Existentialism is the ultimate mythicism.
But to what end?
