No, you are wrong on this. All theologians I met have no problem at
all
Of course theologians constitute about 0.000001% of the people who
have not read this list.
I don't understand.
All what I see is that only (strong) atheists, and fundamentalist have
a problem with the idea of being serious in theology.
Serious means accepting we are ignorant, and using the terms in the
semi-axiomatic way.
By defining God as the ultimate cause, or reason of everything, we can
start by being open on all religion, and then we can add this or that
second axiom, and with comp we can even interview the machines.
Then the machine is almost completely silent on most questions, but in
many case can justify why she has to be silent.
I recommend that you read the book on Brian Hines:
http://www.amazon.com/Return-One-Plotinuss-Guide-God-Realization/dp/0977735214
or
even better, the book by Dominic O'Meara on the enneads
http://www.amazon.com/Plotinus-Introduction-Dominic-J-OMeara/dp/0198751478#reader_0198751478
Comp shows that the Church-Turing thesis rehabilitates the Pythagorean
version of Neoplatonist theologies.
But theology will remain the worst of all oppressing tool in
everyplace where the doubting modest scientific attitude is not
allowed in the field.
Literalism, fundamentalism and superstitions in the religions are the
result of not being serious in theology.
