Sacred Doubt, Existential Crisis, & Matters of Ultimate Concern - With Dr. Taylor Thomas
Rethinking Faith
Symbols, Signs, and Existential Meaning
This chapter explores the philosophical distinctions between symbols and signs, particularly in the context of Christian theology, highlighting their deeper meanings and existential significance. By contrasting traditional symbols like the cross with everyday signs such as a stop sign, the discussion emphasizes the complex interplay between faith, morality, and the potential for symbols to embody both constructive and destructive outcomes. The chapter addresses the ambiguity of existence, the demonic nature of elevating non-ultimate things, and the historical implications of scientific advancements on humanity.
