Journal 25: Natural Cycle

Starting from the puritans; they look for faith for redemption and a holy life. The Rationalists look for lessons from reasoning and logic that they derived from themselves. Their argument was that since God created the world, he must have left a set of guidelines that would balance out the world and let the world continue without its help but does not collapse at the same time. It's like the game League of Legends. First, the creators creates a map of League of Legends, Twisted Treeline, Summoner's Rift, and Dominion map, representing the universe God created. Then, the creator of League of Legends, created characters such as Twisted Fate, Shaco, or Jax that serves to be the dominant life form of the world, representing Adam and Eve. Then, the creators creates challenges such as wolves, golems, the Lizard King, the dragon, and Baron Nesher. Characters are rewarded from the overcoming of the challenges, in this instance, the killing of the jungle creeps, representing the challenges human overcome to get reward. Then, the creators lay back, after issuing a set of rules, in this instance, the balancing of champion skills, jungle creeps' statistics, and overall game's physical logic coherence, while representing God after laying a set of logic and reasoning lays back and watches the world unfold. Then, the transcendentalist is different in that they see everything in the world and the nature as a representation of God. This is because God created the world and that nature is the original creation and as civilization and technology advance it is moving away from God. It is like the case of modifying a game. When the race cars provided in the game is limited, you can mod the car so that it becomes a tank or private jet or you can hack to get a lot of money. They believe to understand God, in this instance, the game, you must play the game simply and originally without shortcut and playing to its original settings, or living a life closely related to the origin of world created by God.
