Re: Interview on theology and horror

I hope the following will relate to a number of things on this thread. It's a recording and transcription of a talk given by Alan Watts on G.K. Chesterton. In particular, the focus is wonder, which...

Re: Interview on theology and horror

I'll read the article when I get a bit of time.

One of the most relevant parts of the Parmenides, it would seem, is the problem stated at 134 of the text:

Re: Interview on theology and horror

@mr. Veech

Thank you for that concise elucidation. Since i requested it purely out of well-meaning curiosity and genuine interest, it would seem terribly impolite to use it a springboard for...

Re: Interview on theology and horror

I don't have a bone to pick in this theology discussion but I do not see logic plays as big a role as people would like to think in creating beliefs. Do people believe after they see the evidences or...

Re: Interview on theology and horror

There are all kinds of reasons why I shouldn't be jumping in on this thread, but I'll give in to temptation, at least for now.



Obviously, I shall have to read Van Til when I get the time. I...

I guess it's mostly a shame you had to expend all that effort and time in arriving at a trad Christian perspective many are given as the default.

Re: Interview on theology and horror

Re: Interview on theology and horror

A common misconception ( even among the religious ) is, to my mind, the idea that holy scripture provides proof of its own truth. It would frankly be weak logic to claim it did. If anything, it...

Re: Interview on theology and horror

I don't think following your gut feeling at all times and considering it as valid as other sensory input would really lead to a decent Christian life morally. Seems as if it would make one prone to...

Re: Thoughts on being a writer on Greydogtales

One could substitute a lot of things for ‘writing’ ( as a way to worship the ego) in that last sentence, and the claim would hold. Parenthood, ‘holding down a job,’religion, atheism and a great many...
