People worshiping you as a god isn't for free.

>>8089078
He never said you had to worship. People are inclined to do so because He is supreme, awesome and the one who gave us Life.

Looks like someone hasn't read their Bible.
>>
>>8089084
yes he does
not like that's a bad thing. if we venerate good things in our society and personal lives, then it only makes sense to worship the best and the highest.

Why do my threads always turn into shitposting ;_;
>>
>>8089029
I have a psychology textbook somewhere that claims Finnegans Wake is a nonsense word salad and Joyce just went full schizo.

I find because they really clamour to be recognised as science they sign post some good philosophers (Popper, Kuhn etc etc) but the understanding of most of what is mentioned is surface level at best amd often very wrong.
>>
>>8089016
what are you actually asking?
anything in the world that is a scam or lie has books written about it
that includes homeopathy, tarot cards, technical analysis for investing, astrology, myers briggs testing, snake oil, alchemy etc etc etc etc etc

everyone else in this thread seems to understand, why are they smarter than you anon?
