explain plx
Gnosticism/Kabbalism
>>8605379
My grammar is fine and I(')m not a Catholic(.)
Catholicism is most concerned with being intellectual.
>>8605282
Gnosticism, calvinism, deism, confuciscism
Elitism?
>>8605914
Um.
I have no idea if this is codified... I have understood bits of it through Alan Moore's Promethea, and the series Unwritten. Other authors that I like have touched on it.
Loosely, I would describe it as the effect that fiction writers have on the actual direction of society. Mythology and fairytales have their place.
In practice, I would refer to my experience of telling a story to a child to affect their behavior and thoughts and perspective. On a larger scale, this has much more power.
It is quite difficult for me to put into words...
Judaism. The whole religion revolves around autistic argument over the reading of a text, and the reading of the readings of a text, and the readings of the readings of the readings of a text.
Orthodox Christianity
>>8605972
Yeah, actually this is correct.
They also fetishize and ritualize writing their holy book to an amazing degree.
I mean, they are called The People of the Book.
>>8605977
Orthodox Christianity cares about studying the older theologians more than Catholicism, but they're not really about scholarship-based enlightenment. They see prayer, love, fasting and stoic serenity as the best way to gain knowledge. All their writings are basically about pursuing that.
>>8605282
No real answer, every religion can be /lit/.
It also depends on where you live, what's your mother tongue, etc. caring about your culture and roots is pretty /lit/ on itself.
The meme answer is Greek Paganism
The contrarian answer is Christianity
The correct answer is Islam, because it has the greatest depth of literary scholarship
>>8605282
Advaita Vedanta, of course.
Hinduism or Catholicism
>>8605282
Catholicism, easy
Real answer is atheism.
Technical answer is Gnosticism or Catholic/Orthodox Christianity
>>8607351
Why Gnosticism, out of interest?

>>8608664
Definitely gnosticism. Lots of smug pricks pretending to know more about the deep mysteries, mostly just as clueless as the rest. Very /lit/.
>>8605282
I am so sick of this thread
>>8608688
Nice dubs.
Why do you think Gnosticism is so revered on this board, does it have some deeper meaning than later Christianity/Judaism or do people like it just because it is esoteric and obscure?
If you mean what religion has the most provoking reading material, I would say Gnosticism, Catholicism, and Mahayana Buddhism. Then dive right into New Religious Movements. I really want to read The Word Appears in the Flesh, but I need to finish the Bible first.
>>8608699
Good dubs yourself, although it's no 93
No idea if it is revered. I'm sure it's due to being weird, mystic lost knowledge and a great pyramid scheme where you can study yourself into being top, a more acceptable version of scientology. Hate the abrahamics as much as you like but at least they attempted to be egalitarian.
All praise Javahoe

Literally the reverse

/lit/ is full of middle-aged lesbians?

>all these neo-neo-"Catholics"
>not the religion that literally had the creation and performance of literary masterpieces as the worship of the holy god Dionysus
Time for a revival of Theosophy.
Either Confucianism or Panentheism
