God.
Doyle
There is a lot to be said for how Charles replies above compared to how my
reply reads. I think for most people Charles' statement sounds simple and
understandable given the convoluted thinking my comment often exhibits. I
take the position though that Charles' logical arguments while useful in the
context of clarity fails to take into account how religious people might
feel about the 'logic' of the argument.
^^^^^^
CB: I agree with you , Doyle. There was a slight joke in what I said. I think what you say about the need to consider feelings is very much correct.
^^^^
My reaction to what I perceive as
implied weaknesses in taking Charles tack toward god, reflects an historical
conflict between rational methods of argument and what others like myself
observe about how the common person 'feels' about the logic of god.
