Min tolkning / Din tolkning v.6

I vår sista träff, vi ska fundera lite över konspirationsteriorier.

Varför tror vi eller andra på sådana teorier?

Hur kommunicerar vi med personer som ser allting som en konspiration?

Sen reflekterar vi över Ludwig Wittgensteins tankar om religion och predestinationsläran, med särskilt fokus på det här:

Christianity is not a doctrine, not, I mean, a theory about what has happened and will happen to the human soul, but a description of something that actually takes place in human life. For ‘consciousness of sin’ is a real event and so are despair and salvation through faith. Those who speak of such things (Bunyan for instance) are simply describing what has happened to them, whatever gloss anyone may want to put on it.

Predestination: It is only permissible to write like this out of the most dreadful suffering - and then it means something quite different. But for the same reason it is not permissible for someone to assert it as a truth, unless he himself says it in torment. - It simply isn’t a theory. - Or, to put it another way: If this is truth, it is not truth that seems at first sight to be expressed by these words. It’s less a theory than a sigh, or a cry.
Culture & Value 1937.

Vilka ord och handling kan tolkas som "a sigh or a cry"?

Tack så mycket till er som deltog i Min tolkning/Din tolkning.
Det har varit lärorikt och roligt!
