I'm an Eastern Orthodox inquirer, but have spent the last 30 years of my life a degenerate hooligan solipsist.

I want to be right with God.

If you can show me the logic that refutes Orthodoxy, I'll stop inquiring into it.

Epistemic justification is a pre-requisite.

@andrewawge @miaphysite3 @C2Antiquity Just for fun? Sure.

[Soups McKenzie☦️ @Soupy_]

@andrewawge @miaphysite3 @C2Antiquity Why couldn't anyone engage in polemics? I'm just an inquirer and I'll gladly engage in polemics with my coworkers, family and friends.

@Nicholai_Korea This is blatant theft and you're going to the zindan once the Turks show up.

@TheDustyChuck @guzomirguzov So, you don't want to know the differences?

[Soups McKenzie☦️ @Soupy_]

@TheDustyChuck @guzomirguzov Would you like to learn about the differences?

@Soupy_ @DF_UniatePapist I never really watched it

[Soups McKenzie☦️ @Soupy_]

@RustierThanEva @DF_UniatePapist When I was like 10 I did. Only watched the stuff that was on TV in the US though.

@SpeelingBChamp @_namori_fan_ So now you're pivoting away instead of addressing my comment before your Scripture suggestion?

[Soups McKenzie☦️ @Soupy_]

@SpeelingBChamp @_namori_fan_ So you're done?

[Soups McKenzie☦️ @Soupy_]

@Write4Republic You mean 'Christian'.

[Soups McKenzie☦️ @Soupy_]

@SpeelingBChamp @_namori_fan_ That addresses nothing I said.

You can be a very intelligent, honest and dedicated mind - without ever testing your presuppositions.

The only way to avoid this is to get rid of your presuppositions, which is what coherentism forces.

Imagine two minds with zero beliefs. Even the mundane qualia beliefs.

These two have the same web.

Now imagine an innumerable amount of experiences, some shared and some exclusive to one or the other (but all in the same world).

They may have different beliefs, but nothing could be contradictory if they're both committed to logic (coherence).

An example: a force which pulls both minds downwards. There's no possible shared world, such that one mind could rationally have a web which affirms upwards.

Only when one mind allows for dogma or infinite regression could they affirm a flat earth, or any other absurd claim.

To be super clear: you can be wrong about things, but two rigorous coherentists can't hold contradictory beliefs if they share a world.

The word pray didn't exist until like 1200.

If you're talking about prayer from Scripture, the septuagint uses προσεύχομαι (the verb form) to mean 'wish, vow, petition'

The masoretic is simpler, but also used more loosely and often directed at temporal masters.

I can't tell what you're suggesting with the last bit. Are you saying 'worship is: prayer and bowing' or 'worship is prayer is bowing'?
