Re: my summary of the nature of Bible: agree?
I think the phrase I use for OT is apt and it is precise. writings by those who experienced divine/human encounter. Those encounters did not provide them with unmediated understanding of the divine. They still must filter those experiences through their culture. Their culture was violent and primit...

Re: hybridizing ethics and possible conclusions.
I have nothing else to add, overall. I mean, one could combine Fletcher's situationalism with either of the two major historical schools of ethics. But I think we know that circumstance often drives differing decisions regardless of preformed conclusions on which 'system' of ethics one feels beholde...

Re: Hume's Misconception on Miracles
I don't think he says they are impossible. It's more like he says they don't happen (the issue was deos he say "at all?" Or "enough."). I would interpret him as saying they don't happen at all. (Remember he defines them as violations of the laws of nature.) And by saying they don't happen at all, h...

Re: Miracles (for Meta)

Re: Hume's Misconception on Miracles
Simply stated, Hume overstates his case. As Dinesh D'Souza pointed out in his book What's So Great About Christianity? , seeing only white swans everywhere you observe swans does not make an immutable law that only white swans exist; it is possible, even probable, that a black swan exists somewhere....
