Summary

After several listener questions about the what and why of my religious beliefs, I decide to answer. I recorded this months ago, but never aired it. I don't like to talk about my religious beliefs for two primary reasons: 1) They are ever evolving and I want the permission to freely change and not have people try to hold me to what I've thought in the past. 2) Every word on the topic is loaded and everyone has different meanings and feelings behind them. It's really hard to convey anything concrete without being misunderstood. It's tiring and too easy to offend or get people distracted by small details and lose the ability to talk about the stuff I'm more interested in. But I decided to just get it out there, at least in a very general sense, since several listeners have now asked. This is not about what I think you should believe. It is only a description of my own take. I'm sure there's something for everyone to disagree with in this one!

The Isaac Montes Show The Isaac Montes Show Welcome to the The Isaac Montes Show where I’m just being...well me Isaac Bickerstaff, Physician and Astrologer by Richard Steele (1672 - 1729) LibriVox Isaac Bickerstaff Esq. was a pseudonym used by Jonathan Swift as part of a hoax to predict the death of then famous Almanac-maker and astrologer John Partridge. In 1709, Richard Steele bolstered the release of his new satirical paper The Tatler by naming the fictitious Isaac Bickerstaff Esq. as editor. These are fictional essays/memoirs of Bickerstaff, written by Steele. Isaac writes from his time, and his personal things on what was going on. Bickerstaff, or rather Richard Steele, talks mostly about Mr. Bickerstaff's friends, his family, and the many different entertainments that Bickerstaff goes through. Bickerstaff also gets many opportunities to talk to people who are in trouble with their spouse or maybe looking for a partner, and so Bickerstaff plays the role of a father, giving advice to many characters throughout the book.

When he was young he entered a monastery where he devoted his efforts to asceticism. He studied theology for a time and became involved in religious education. When the Catholicos visited him he decided to ordain Isaac as a bishop of Nineveh. However, Isaac did not like the administrative duties and retired again to the hermetical and monastic life in which struggles he eventually died. He left a number of writings on mystical subjects including these, "Six Treatises on the Behavior of Excellence," which cover the topics about how to excel in Christian perfection by becoming a more virtuous person.
