[quote=Allan from Fallbrook]zippy: Okay, so back to Amazon, huh? I ordered the other two books today, and will check out Keating and Rice as well.
You’ll notice a distinctly evangelical flavor to some of the religious postings here and I have avoided responding with anything too “Catholic”.
I have been pondering a response to larrylujack’s postings that would reference Aquinas and the “Summa Theologica”, but most of the liberal/secular types here (like larry) hear “God” or “spiritual” and it creates a knee-jerk reaction that immediately closes down the dialogue. That insipid nonsense about seeing the Virgin Mary in a grilled cheese sandwich was enough for me. “None are so blind as those who will not see”.
There is a very rich history in Catholicism regarding regarding scientific inquiry (both good and bad), as well as ontological and telelogical arguments involving Faith and Reason, but you have to be careful bringing that into play. Speaking ontologically, apparently Spirituality = Idiocy.[/quote]
sorry yer so thin skinned, but the reality is that someone did apparently pay 28k for the sandwich in question, which is why I mentioned it.
