Cheryl,
I left the computer after I posted my introduction so I have not had a chance to check out the "chat room" yet. One step at a time... Bradley |

Umm...I laugh when I say your name too.  Welcome to Booktalk! I would love to hear more about this icky belief system you refer to. And you ought to put a pushpin in our GuestMap!

Great to have you Bradley!
Philosophy is a favorite topic for me as well. We'll have to discuss our views sometime. Do you have a favorite philosopher? |

Interesting, we have Hume in common. I've been toying with the idea of starting a thread on Hume's Essays on suicide. Nothing good could come of that, but that's probably why I'm drawn by it.
Kierkegard scares the shit out of me. No doubt he is a man of great intellect, but his capacity whip the religious community into a frothing mass is downright frightening. He's up there with C.S. Lewis, Josh McDowell, and Duane Kishe (sp?). I mean, people keep him on the shelf next to the Bible. Anyway, I love the classics, despite the shortcomings, their idealism inspires me. |

Drunkenblade- It's Duane Gish. He's a hoot ain't he! As is Josh Mc Dowell. Which reminds me I've also read "Mind Siege" by Tim LaHaye- Have to keep tabs on the enemy camp to see what kind of crap you're up against. He's painted quite a satanic picture of Secular Humanists. It's really good to keep up with that sort of stuff because when dolts make their shallow utterances its easier to let them know exactly how full of Sh!* you know they are. Somebody mentioned Spong- I also read "Why Christianity must Change or Die" with in the last few months. Poor old John, He's clinging to Christianity by the skin of his teeth.
