Re: Joe's in I.C.U.
Passing it on to some other forums; sent Joe a quick email via the staff (but I don't know how well that's working).

Re: fun idea
I'm very busy preparing for two large series that I hope to kick off on (or shortly after) Easter, at the Cadre and on the EU forum. (The topics are distinct, but the format follows more-or-less the same groups of scripture, so I'll be covering the same material for two different purposes on each si...

Re: meta's metaphor search. {g}
God is so far above us we should try to think of God as the dialectic or something. Even the other images you borrowed from the Bible are not abstractions like "dialectic", though. Besides, isn't dialectic a description of interpersonal relationship? {s!} NO I don't think so. It's a form of logic r...

Re: Interesting technical debate on Rom 14-15 over here...
I know this is somewhat unsatisfactory, but its the view I hold to since the earliest Christauns just didn't see itself as different from Judaism, and instead saw itsself as a continuation of Judaism and Israel. :| I'm pretty sure I said that myself, back up in my most recent reply. {sigh} So, now ...

Re: Argument I co-determinate
AT the heart of all religious belief and all organized religions is experience and the sense of the numinous. This is the foundation of religious belief. The main problem here is that the generalization is too sweeping, I think. My own religious beliefs aren't currently founded on a sense of the nu...

Re: II. Thomas Reid Argument (for existence of God)
I think this argument works better as a defense of the proper rationality of inference from religious experience (somewhat related to Plantinga's properly basic belief defense of religious rationality), rather than as an argument for the existence of God per se. (i.e. I'd have to take a categorical ...

Re: Multiple Universes = No God?
http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=paUniverse_sun14_parallel_universes&show_article=1 Now, I don't see that the idea of multiple universes conflicts necessarily with there being a God. But what I'm wondering is how the mathemeticians/scientists got from this: The Oxford team, led by Dr David D...

Re: meta's metaphor search. {g}
but I want a metaphor that emphasizes God's wholly otherness. He can't be a big novelist in the sky. Depends on what you mean by "wholly" other. If you mean an ontological distinction between God and not-God, the novelist metaphor can accommodate that. (My novel isn't me or vice versa.) Though the ...
