As you can see I have made the suggested correction. I agree that philosophy is useful but like all things as you stated in your comment it can also be used incorrectly. I personally don't entirely disdain philosophy, I just don't think it is appropriate for discussions of a theological nature. When theologians use philosophy it turns into a game of circular reasoning that leads to no conclusions. Besides, how can one reason about something (God) that can't be proven to exist and whose attributes it is impossible to know anything about?Chatpilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03550924322118366351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6211409678921393693.post-91577246640126595332012-02-16T14:24:59.725-05:002012-02-16T14:24:59.725-05:00Hello Chatpilot,
Thought you might want to edit t...Hello Chatpilot,<br /><br />Thought you might want to edit this sentence:<br /><br />"It is my personal experience and opinion that no one who reads the bible in its entirety no matter what language you read it in cannot come to the conclusion that its just not the word of God nor is it divinely inspired."<br /><br />I think your intended meaning needs the words 'help but' inserted after the word 'cannot'. See if you don't think so also.<br /><br />Further, I have a different take on philosophy that I thought I would share with you, in a fashion that I hope you find friendly rather than argumentative. Philosophy broken down means 'love of knowledge'. From philosophy came logic. Logic applied to the physical world became science, which was originally called 'natural philosophy'. Now the child science is more respectable than the parent philosophy, because science demands evidence, whereas philosophers construct edifices of thought apart from real world grounding. Also philosophy gets mistakenly confounded with THEOLOGY, since theologians often argue philosophically (this is the part that smells to high Valhalla - here we fully agree).<br /><br />Philosophy can be done very well, as witnessed by the magnificent thinking of Spinoza and Hume, for example. And it can be tortuously abused, as by Plantagina, et al. So it is a tool, and as such has been well used and misused. Where it degenerates to word games, truly it is despicable.<br /><br />I hope you have enjoyed my thoughts on this matter. Keep up the good writing!Exrelaymannoreply@blogger.com
