  • I’m a fan of academic and Pop-academic sources.

    Pop Academic is usually the much easier to read version of a proper academic quality book. I’m a fan of Bart D. Erhman and a lot of his books are pop academia, but they reference his academic works.

    The process I was taught for this kind of source finding is 1) Search for a broader topic 2) Find a well referenced book on the broader topic 3) Read book reviews of the book to determine if it has the content you want 4) Read the book or skim the book looking for mention of the idea you want to know more about 5) Check the relevant sources of that section.

    If there are no sources listed (or they don’t exist because they’re hallucinations), its probably not a good book for information.

  • I see.

    That’s a lot of words that conjur a coherent enough idea of what you believe but does very little convincing.

    So back to the question.

    God will give us knowledge but with a forked tonuge. What does this mean?

    To me this means god is a deceiver of some sort and thus you’ve spoken a contradiction. Is this the intent?
