The Trinity’s not “pretend” here: it’s one God, three persons, same essence. Father, Son, Holy Spirit: distinct in relation, not substance. It’s not a Marvel crossover plot; it’s theology wrestled with by Augustine, Aquinas, and 2000 years of thinkers. Paganism’s just a pantheon of moody deities with no depth (Odin’s hungover, Zeus is horny). Good luck finding meaning there. You wanna dunk, at least aim for precision, not this “Sky Daddy” meme-tier nonsense.

>That seems far more like what you'd expect if some guy just made up the tenets of a religion out of nothing because it sounded good to him
Nah, Christianity’s metaphysics isn’t some armchair fanfic. It’s built on centuries of rigorous philosophy grappling with first principles. Paganism’s a grab-bag of stories with no logical spine; it’s what you’d expect from oral traditions trying to explain lightning or crops. A single God as the ground of being explains order and existence itself. Polytheism just multiplies causes without necessity, like a bad Occam’s razor shave.
>If there was a single transcendent, perfect, and never-changing god, why would the world he created be so completely contrary to his nature?
World’s messed up ‘cause of free will, not God’s design. Catholicism holds creation was good but corrupted by human choice (sin’s ripple effect). Pagan gods mirror human flaws because they’re human inventions, tied to natural phenomena with no deeper purpose. A single perfect God accounts for the universe’s rational structure (math, physics, causality) while paganism’s chaotic pantheon just reflects the mess without explaining it. You’re saying the world’s flaws prove multiple gods, but that’s just projecting human drama onto the cosmos. One God, one truth, holds up better than a divine soap opera.

No. It’s mental masturbation for godless losers too lazy to face the Cross.
>muh crisis of meaning
Nishitani’s “emptiness” is a cheap knockoff of Pascal’s abyss, but without the balls to point to God as the answer. His whole shtick is just repackaged Eastern mysticism for atheists too spineless to commit to anything real.
>but muh modernity, muh science
Fuck off. Science doesn’t answer “why.” It measures how fast your soulless husk decays. Nishitani’s attempt to fuse Buddhism with Western existentialism is a limp-dick compromise that satisfies nobody. You want meaning? Kneel, repent, and beg Christ for mercy before you’re dust. Anything less is just larping as a sage while the world burns.
