There are thousands of religions and philosophical outlooks in the world, and each can often be broken down into additional subgroups. The factor most responsible for this variety of perspectives is epistemology (their theory of knowledge). I perceive Adventism, first and foremost, as a critique of common approaches to epistemology, whether Christian, non-Christian, or secular.
I begin all my classes with a conceptual exercise that goes something like this:
Imagine that you are drugged and wake up in a very large room with very thick concrete walls, and no doors or windows. What do you do?
