Lady of poetry in storm,
For my hive’s impresence undone,
I welcome your stake put through it
Thunder splinter turned on constitution
Run, let it, through my inner-daemon,
May it see red fascia-covered sermon
So mine establish connection to yours
Tuned to body, we sing four plus fours

ive already been gesturing to this idea in this thread, but i think that the way we talk about religion in the west currently is very off the mark. typical apologetics and rational theology tries to make sense of various religious statements through some sort of metaphysical framework or another. whenever they defend the trinity and the divinity of christ, christian apologetics because they are within this hyper-rational framework, have to defend it using statements and propositions. christ’s divinity has to be thought of in terms of divine natures and they have this need to counter all sorts of heresies like nestorianism, arianism etc. in doing all of this, what has been forgotten is the sublime image of christ on the cross, and the theophany that occurred there. personally i like to read theophany in an ontological register, as a revelation of being, rather than a metaphysical register that tries to see it as involving the union of two prima fascie incompatible beings.

this problem extends to stuff like morality as well. taken rationally, divine command theory just seems like another manifestation of moral subjectivism, except it is a particular subject that is being raised above others and their moral preferences are the universal law. it is naturally also susceptible to euthyphro’s dilemma as well. in truth, when you think about dct from within an ontological register, you see that it really consists of an ethical warning against hubris. the reason why murder is wrong from a biblical perspective isn’t because it causes suffering (or some other sort of utilitarian explanation), but rather because it involves man raising himself to the level of god taking a life.
