also, Mises, in Human Action, had a very interesting section discussing the matter of "omnipotent" and "omniscient" leaving the question open as an "unknowable"

me, i can't believe in a God who is not omniscient

to me, an omnipotent God is a cruel god, whose main actions are rugging His creation

an omniscient God commands respect, he ALWAYS knows, everything he did was correct, his actions were completely considered before they were taken, and it is immaterial that he "cannot" change them - it's more an issue of "why would He?"

Indeed, Mises was so intellectual honest!

yeah, it was pretty clear tho, that he was a Christian

people who are both Christian and scientists are the most important people in the world, and in history

when you really dig deep into the details of His Creation you know it cannot be "accidental"

He was Jewish by blood and agnostic AFAIK

most likely, the nazis hunted him and he only just escaped, and all his library was burned

not just a jew but deeply opposed to, and vocal about his opposition, and very clear in his reasoning, why he was opposed to socialism

indeed, from the superficial reading, both christianity and islam's main texts seem to open up the potential for corrupting both religions with socialist ideas, though like you say, the muslims are probably more proof against it, in the West christianity has basically been coopted, the 70s and 80s with the thatchers and reagans saw to it that the public image of christianity was thoroughly tainted

this kind of false piety is used by power to break the social cohesion enabled by these religions, it's tragic...

personally, i always hated atheism, when i was off the path my thing was ... idk exactly... ontological anarchy, psychedelic illumination, taoism... part of my road back to Christ had to do with reading the Qur'an where it talks about how there can only be one God because many would annihilate the universe

True, Mises was once the "Batman of Berlin" and had his office burned. Then run away to USA from the Nazis almost getting killed.
