Peter, David M.and Multitude
18 Dec. David M commented Peter's suggestion
("How about God and the World as the very first subject and
object".)
> Indeed, and human subjects are 'subjected' to divine commands
> they must obey, until they start to ask whether creative and
> commanding powers can be stolen from the gods.
David's approach - that of being a subject is a different meaning
than in the MOQ where the S/O is best understood in the
adjective form. Yet, about stealing the power from the gods (the
Prometheus myth) is interesting. What's addressed here is if the
monotheist God of Judaism was "subjective" and his creation
were "objective", but this entity was from the era when social
value "leading edge", long before SOM or the intellectual level (I
use the SOL interpretation)
However, the immense impact of intellectual value made itself
felt all over that era's civilization and with the Romans it reached
the Jews and Jesus was a sensitive antenna that picked up the
intellectual signals and started a revolt against social value by
rebelling against Mosaic Law by his famous words that the said
law was for the benefit of humankind, i.e: the individual
(intellectual value ) took precedence over the common cause
(social value)
OK, not to pull the whole history Christendom was long a
continuation of social value (Old Testament) with Jesus an old-
fashined God, but with the Renaissance intellectual value began
in earnest to transform Christendom into .... well that process is
still going on, we have Christians who are as fundamentalist as
Orthodox Jews and Islamists, but also Lutheran pastors who don't
"believe in God" (at least in Scandinavia) I hope the MOQ will
fuze with modern Christendom to create a Western Buddhist-like
world view.
Conclusion: The God/World was not intellectual S/O dualism.
However if (in David M's words) God was the SUBJECT and
humankind subjected to his will. Sure.
IMO
