We must defend our dichotomies. We can not live on middle of the road. This is not as bad as it sounds. We need simplification in order to make decisions.
We should have started nuclear war when we were able. Now we are stuck with in between nuclear war and peace as we know it. That means we do not have peace. We only have mediocre peace.
Excellent video. Christianity is the religion of technology therefore religion of responsibility.
2:57 - 3:06 Wait a minute: if the experience or that "Ergriffenheit" of the heart does not correspond to the words then it is obviously altogether misrepresented by that theology which is transmitted by words.
One can't immunize the words on the grounds that they do no even correspond to what is meant - without losing all relevance of those words. In other words, if you want your words to be taken seriously in any way, you must maintain some correspondence between the words and the meaning.
No no, given the teachings of eternal damnation among christian doctrines THIS FEAR IS ENTIRELY RATIONAL: if THIS truly is at stake, you would naturally want to ward off any deviation from the salvific doctrine at ANY cost. You have to concede to most christians that they do not have the resources to decide the consequnces of other doctrines related to their salvation. And naturally, the devil might be behind them.
If their fear is faulty, the blame lies with christian doctrine.
