#120: Christmas and The Sermon on the Mount
12/24/2024

Today, I divulge into why Christmas is on December 25th, then I do an entire analysis of The Sermon on the Mount. For those unfamiliar, The Sermon on the Mount is a speech which, according to the Bible, Jesus Christ gave. It is, more or less, Jesus' magnum opus of philosophy within Orthodox Christianity .

On this episode, I trace back the usage of fire and light as symbolism for wisdom and knowledge via bringing up Genesis, the myth of Prometheus, animism, the resurrection, Plato's allegory of the cave, and the Zoroastrian religion.
