Ha, definitely not buddies with Thiel! I hardly even know of him, and mostly hearing of him through you. I can understand his point that liberal humanism has something to do with Antichrist, as I see humanism coming from Christianity but ditching Christ and the Cross, so it appears to be like Christ but is a deception.

Ha, definitely not buddies with Thiel! I hardly even know of him, and mostly hearing of him through you. I can understand his point that liberal humanism has something to do with Antichrist, as I see humanism coming from Christianity but ditching Christ and the Cross, so it appears to be like Christ but is a deception. I think a mixture of transhumanism and the liberal humanist ideology will be involved in the Antichrist/Ahriman incarnation. Something like an embodied AGI simulation of Christ that will be able to perform miracles/magic and try to bring about global unity, fooling even true believers that he is the Christ, but will be a serpentine deception.
Anyways, I can't give a lengthy case for theism here, but I will say that due to the relational structure of reality, the necessity of relationality for love, as well as the many intellectual arguments for God: the cosmological argument, the contingency argument, the argument of moral objectivity, the teleological or design arguments, the aesthetic argument, etc, I find theism very convincing and just makes sense intuitively. But most of all the argument from my own experience that the stance ones takes during embodied prayer to and worship of God is the 'right' stance to take, as felt in the heart. The testimony of the Saints is also very inspiring.
But if we are to talk about theism we should not be using fundamentalist protestant Christians as our example, we should at least be using the example of the historically original and most unchanged church, the Orthodox Church. Here are a few sources:
The Mystical Theology of the Eastern Church- Vladimir Lossky
JR I also think it's important to say each tradition, practice brings one to a different location within the Spheres above us , Buddhist don't believe in a God. However Buddhist practice can lead to higher awareness of oneself, whereas , with Steiner within the Christ one can travel well into the Heavenly Sphere and meet the archangels.
Steiner is a great guide as are so many others whom have attained this enlighten state

I don’t find that important to say but be my guest
