Hi there. I hope I am not too annoying with my posts. I am learning a lot from you. I have a tendancy to be quite authorative about my beliefs and fairly intolerant about others religious beliefs but I am not proud of that and that is something about myself that I am attempting to change.
You have been immensely helpful to me in that respect.
I have never really been into philosophy of religion. I studied it because there is a decided lack of third year options at my university and timetable restrictions dictated... That being said I found that I enjoyed it well enough because by studying arguments it turned out to be nice and analytic after all.
But perhaps there is an absurdity in overfocusing on arguments the way I have done in most of my previous posts.
Perhaps it is me that is missing the point rather badly. Perhaps I am turning this into a verbal game of sophistry. Complicating rather than clarifying. Breeding confusion.
You are a rock of faith Rayww.
I thankyou for being my teacher.
I have the unmost respect for you.
I am glad I make you laugh - and even if you are laughing at me rather than with me (?????) - I see the humour.Philosophy is the form of my life...
But philosophy and sophistry are difficult to disentangle.
