Yes, and he's completely clueless about other religions as well, although he's not afraid to talk all about them... dunno that that is any different than other topics though I suppose.
I think the "Brummar tangential Move" is essentially a child-hood coping mechanism gone awry, and he uses it because he just can't stop himself from conversing about things he knows
little about.
I just realized why Brumar dislikes Socrates. Socrates was the wisest man to walk the face of the earth and admitted that he knew next to nothing while Brumar declares the opposite.
It is possible that Brumar is a reincarnation of Melitus who made the false accusation against Socrates.
Like Melitus our Brumar is just jesting to...
What you say, O Melitus, is incredible, and, as it appears to me, is so even to yourself. Indeed, O Athenians, this man appears to me to be perfectly insolent and intemperate in his speech, and to have in reality written this accusation, impelled by a certain insolence, wantonness, and youthfulness. For he seems, as it were, to have composed an enigma in order to try me, and to have said to himself, Will the wise Socrates know that I am jesting, and speaking contrary to
myself? Or shall I deceive him, together with the other hearers? For he appears to me to contradict himself in his accusation, as if he had said, Socrates is impious in not believing that there are Gods, but believing that there are Gods. And this, indeed, must be the assertion of one in jest. |
