Josiah Kissinger

Phil-rel and theology enjoyer, Phil-mind endurer

@waldenpod I saw this post, saw the account and was like "lol that's funny". Then I saw the like to comment ratio.

"Guys, I signed up for a religon that preaches to 'love thine enemies' and to 'turn the other cheek' and it's led by a guy called the Prince of Peace. Now, this jackass tells me that war is wrong? What the hell???"-every idiot responding to this negatively

@emuse1955 @analyticatheism As someone who's followed both Ghost and the broader philrel scene for a few years now, I think he is one of the most epistemically responsible people in the entire community. He hasn't released his piece on miracles yet, so how can you say that without knowing his reasons?

[Josiah Kissinger @JosiahKissinger]

@robkoons @analyticatheism Why do you think that is?

[Josiah Kissinger @JosiahKissinger]

@RealgarKnight Also, you never answered my question on engaging with universalist thinkers. Have you read Ramelli, Talbott, Mccord-Adams, Parry or Reitan?

[Josiah Kissinger @JosiahKissinger]

@RealgarKnight Obviously i'm aware his universalism wasn't the reason he was called that. The only reason his universalist passages were at all controversial were the rulings of emperor justinian. Modern scholarship on the issue has vindicated his universalism.

[Josiah Kissinger @JosiahKissinger]

@RealgarKnight I mean, I don't. Isaac the Syrian and George Mcdonald are both more recent and are both "decently Orthodox"

[Josiah Kissinger @JosiahKissinger]

@RealgarKnight Dang I wonder why Gregory of Nyssa got called the hero of orthodoxy then, if he was secretly an atheist

[Josiah Kissinger @JosiahKissinger]

@RealgarKnight @stacikayh Me when I haven't taken the time to bother actually reading those I disagree with

[Josiah Kissinger @JosiahKissinger]

@AStrasser116 @Philip_Goff @majestyofreason @SpeedWatkins @DoloresGMorris @worldviewdesign @robkoons I've read it, the contributors sections are very good. However, half the book is taken up by Dan Barker and Adam Johnson, both of whom I was not impressed by. Especially Barker, who is a textbook new atheist. Going from reading Koons and Goff to him was whiplash inducing.

@ScottLokes87708 @ChristianityOn ?

[Josiah Kissinger @JosiahKissinger]

@analyticatheism @AStrasser116 Do you have a PDF of the recent volume on natural theology?

[Josiah Kissinger @JosiahKissinger]

@analyticatheism Is there anything truly new here or is it just re-hashing his old work?

[Josiah Kissinger @JosiahKissinger]

@FloodingLong @ChristianityOn I agree with 2, but with 1 I have yet to see that be the case

[Josiah Kissinger @JosiahKissinger]

@ChristianityOn @summer_eats What episode is that?

[Josiah Kissinger @JosiahKissinger]

@ChristianityOn @BicycleSocials The abortion one I can atleast make sense of, but him deleting his videos on material causality with Felipe Leon, Paul Draper’s decisive evidence argument, and his interview with Josh Rasmussen on universalism leaves a really bad taste in my mouth. Those were not scandalous imo

[Josiah Kissinger @JosiahKissinger]

@ChristianityOn The fact that Dustin Crummet (the guy defending abortion in said debate) basically confirmed this is kinda hilarious

[Josiah Kissinger @JosiahKissinger]

@heymike33 @BMcGrewvy @emuse1955 Where does he lay that out?

[Josiah Kissinger @JosiahKissinger]

@TheFreeWillHoax @goingawoll No I don’t have to admit that lol, plus his sincerity has been corroborated by 7 people who know him personally. So either there’s a massive pro theist conspiracy theory going on at Princeton (pretty unlikely) or he’s legit.
