Re: Methodological Naturalism
Might it be fair to suggest that one is 'technically competent' - whether regarding Levitical Catholicism, Levitical Protestantism or Levitical Evangelicism in general, as long as they maintain their theological submissions within the boundaries of apologetic discourse as it relates to the magik of a blood sacrifice?
Sounds about right But why are we excluding the Levitical Jews?
And I am going to take this opportunity to say that I adore your posts, Weary, and you're are my top poster for 2009

The Bible does not say that. It says that those who reject Christ hate the truth, and by that it means that they hate the truth about themselves. That truth is that they are sinners, i.e. they offend others in their actions and their words
And the Bible is obviously wrong. Many who do not accept that this first century carpenter was anything more than one of several semi-radical jewish preachers realise that their actions and words do at times offend and cause hardship for others, and they choose to do something proactive to diminish the impact, learn from their 'mistakes', and if it is appropriate seek forgiveness from the injured party. Far more productive than just asking some random deity to 'forgive them' as if it has anything to do with that deity anyway. Christianity is the easiest get-out card in the world for excusing oneself from living up to one's responsibilities. Having spent over two decades of my life as a 'born-again' Christian, I have seen it again and again and again... pathetic.
