Turns out it's a lot more difficult to keep up with things online when on vacation haha. I keep meaning to interact and then before I know it the day is over!
The article that provoked some thoughts for me was this one on causality and divinity @aiuna allures to the age old debate: are all the things that happen to us random order is there some bigger scheme or a god that is in charge. Though in outcome we don't agree, I think the article is thought provoking. Though I am not religious I am a medieval historian and have spend a lot of time researching how medieval people tried to solve this conundrum:if god were to ordain and orchestrate it all then why is there crime, sins and disobedience? Most answers go in the range of: well god's roads are just difficult for people to understand, we can never follow divine reasoning. But later the idea of free will gets mixed in as well. Anyway it reminded me of studying countless hours on medieval divinity and thus it is my choice for the day!
