Ghut - God - Free Exchange certainly contrasts with Marx critique deployed on the communist manifeto regarding the freedom exchanges:
"The bourgeoisie.... has resolved personal worth into exchange value, and in place of the numberless indefeasible chartered freedoms, has set up that single, unconscionable freedom – Free Trade."
Communism walks away from freedom, from god and from truth.
Is Ghut also related to "a good" as in a product or service exchangable? I think I heard something like this in a podcast I listened to? This loss of original meaning is the same like 'myth', which can be described as a serie of falsehoods telling an emergent truth. It seems like some words had different original meanings and in a way they have been demythologized and taken literally.
Appreciated the article but one critique. The saying of Jesus at the end is from the Gospel of Thomas which would be considered apocryphal. May be good to clarify that as it is a bit misleading to the lay reader.
The portrayal of the medieval Church in this way is certainly the popular “Enlightenment Now” “Selfish Gene” version of history that is prevalent in our culture. But I don’t think it reflects the historical reality very well. Yes the Church is conservative and traditional by nature (Which is good in their case), but the official dogma since at least 13th century has been that reason and faith are mutually compatible and necessary. I recommend Aristotle’s Metaphysics & Nichomachean Ethics and St. Thomas Aquinas’ Summa Theologiae if you are interested in what the Church teaches about God in the medieval time and in all times. It is completely different from popular cultural biases.
