GOOD ADVICE FROM A CHRISTIAN
From Anon (via pm)
(CD: See. If you get enough of a solution the people help you. A “Discernment Movement”. “Christisim, Churchianity, and Orthodoxy”. Hmmm… that sets up Jesus vs political religion vs social religion nicely like the conflict between Science-Law vs philosophy(political) vs Faith, as the MONOPOLY position in both series failed. This helps a great deal. )
From Anon;
Curt. Read your piece – the first sermon. You’re doing quite a good job. I call it a Discernment Movement!
On the piece, I have shared similar view about Christianity and I have for long, distance myself from the church and often avoid confrontation with dogma-infused people I know.
I think you could do so much better by getting more people on your side by either:
1. Developing on these themes: Christism or Christology (you could find better name) to promote the exact teachings and practice of Jesus – the ‘first sermon’ captures it well – as again current Christianity which is a dogma. Present Christianity is to be deservingly attacked as’ ‘Churchianity,’ your accurate construct. Both approaches are better to maximise benefits. It may be difficult to reform Christianity as it is, reason for the new approach.
2. Do a propertarian interpretation of the Bible – which could on its be a bestseller. I think it could potentially knock down struggling Churchianity and a special propertarian biblican account of Jesus and how he should be understood, followed and a standard to determine those who pervert, undermine, and manipulate his brand for other purposes can be identified. This could be a potential canon in the making to liberate all under the effective control of churchian leaders.
(CD: We would need to do Aristotle, The Epic Cycle, The Bible, and the Germanic-nordic) Cycle. I understand the need for the first two I didn’t think of really doing over the bible but i certainly am beginning to get there…. hmmm. very smart.)
You can see, I already like the construct, churchian.
3. 1 and 2 to go together. This is where the mass body of Christianity could be forced to rethink and also pay attention to propertarianism.
Finally, if you’re to consider this suggestion, observe this as well, while promoting propertarian Christism (let’s that be a dummy name), refrain from using attacking current Christian community as a whole for rhetorical reason – let people, the audience concentrate on the message ONLY.
However, for the them on attacking Churchianity, you critique limit it to critique and moderate use of strong words at this outset.
Reasonable, decent people, those who want to be Christ-like, I think, will pay attention if it’s devoid of strong language and attack.
Again, the consideration here is rhetoric.
