Forum Overview :: Laurence Fishburne's Dance Dance Revolution :: Re: Religious practice is an ancient and profound matter of ordering the world.

[quote name="laudablepuss"][quote name="laudablepuss"][quote name="Gutsby"]The enlightenment and it's cheerful materialism deeply hurt philosophical discourse that had comfortably coexisted with religious practice. It did astonishing damage to the idea of developing a morality that wasn't strictly emotive or relativistic. A lot of people read Nietszche as if it is supposed to be advice - it <i>was</i> supposed to be a warning.[/quote] What the fuck is this "religious practice" that is so valuable? NDD mentioned it also, saying "I don't think religious thinking should guide fucking anything but religious practice." Since I read "religious thinking" as "magical thinking", that made the sentence end with Harry Potter-y "magical practice".[/quote] Here's a zinger I just thought of: you know what else hurt philosophical discourse? Having some actual answers. BAM! Do we have a belt or a trophy or something for winning this thread?[/quote]
