You are getting my blood boiling just a bit more than I can handle right now -- don't worry, I mean that in a good way. I think you are spot-on in the last sentence and the issues of the "practical hole." Nice terms. You know Robert, I am going to reread this later.

Treat Tue, 23 Oct 2007 13:42:51 +0000 http://www.imurphy.com/2007/05/naturalism/#comment-106 "There is a reason that Christ said of himself, “I am the truth…” Ultimately, truth is a Person, not a faceless set of facts holding sway over human life." Christ was the truth only in that, by his admission, he was God incarnate. That very well may have been. However the school of secular humanism dictates that "man is God", we are imperfect, and there is sufficient evidence to this effect. The truth, if it come's from flawed beings isn't always the truth. People lie. That is also a fact. Not all humans are "divine" ; if we look at Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Napoleon I wouldn't hedge my bets on the divinity of us humans. I won't argue Nietzsche was discredited, so was Freud and much else we postmodern types ( myself excluded ) seem to "bank" on. Jesus also said : "Heaven and earth will pass away but my words will not pass away...". Words are just that, words. It is what we choose to believe in that dictates how we conduct ourselves in this world. “There is a reason that Christ said of himself, “I am the truth…” Ultimately, truth is a Person, not a faceless set of facts holding sway over human life.”
