Ietsism

[originally an email]

Somebody asked Elisabeth of the YouTube channel Elisabeth's Philosophy what her beliefs were. Not her but somebody else replied that she believed in Ietsism, which is a popular belief in the Netherlands.

I'd never heard of it, so I thought you guys might be interested in reading a short description too. Here's one I read.

It's easy to see the capital 'I' and mentally see it as an 'L.' I did. But it's ietsism.

Wikipedia article on it.

Basically I'd say such people may believe in the supernatural, but they don't believe in sin (and probably are if not blind to evil at least are asleep to its existence).

They are naive. Their view of themselves is naive. If you don't see sin then you don't see the necessity for a solution to sin, which is the heart of Christianity.
