As for viewing deities as primarily representatives of greater power, it is, I believe, characteristic of early religions, whereas more recent religions concentrate more on the undefinably fundamental qualities like absolute virtue or unimaginable attributes like being above the time flow. Besides, you sound like mathematics is a form of religion. | |
| Nov 17, 2022 at 19:00 | comment | added | LSpice | I'm not sure that's true. What does it mean for an absolutely unreachable entity to communicate? Isn't that reachability? I am not religious, but my impression of Western Christianity is that it in large part concerns the accessibility, not the unreachability, of an eminently greater power (usually with no expectation of direct communication). I wrote that innocently, but, having written it, it sure looks like it could be the start of a discussion of mathematics! (Thus perhaps narrowly making this not completely off topic.) | |
