Okay he read enough theory, he needs to actually go out and do a praxis before he gets worse
It’s defined in the Elementary Forms of Relgious Life by Emile Durkheim. He argues that religion forms in moments of social effervescence, so to Matt’s point, god is the recognition of the social organism and our rationalization towards it as individuals. Wish Matt would read more actual theory to back up his sincerely good points but that’s why he’s on twitch instead of publishing books
have you heard the cushvlog where he goes in depth on idealism vs. materialism and attempts to address the "but that's an ideal too" argument
I gave up trying to keep track of which ones have what, I failed
I think I foudn it, at least hte description has "idealism vs. materialism"

think you're asking a valid question honestly, just felt like he unlocked something about this issue in my head at some point and watned to share
what we need see what we ok what we need see ok it's a religion but it'scommunism t ok

Every time a privileged straight dude discovers “cultural Christianity”, Saturn devours another one of his large adult sons.
Matt has become the armchair.
I do not have anything against religious people it’s a personal choice but it’s ridiculous to consider religion as some kind of materialist thing
I like the vlogs, but they're starting to feel repetitive. Wish he branched out on more ideas or learned more periods of history to analyze.
Reminiscent of Paul Tillich: God is just ultimate purpose.
So can you explain why ultimate purpose had a carpenter failson? Or told some guy on a mountain to carve stone tablets?
