Jon Alan,
JAS: Understood, although I consider the subject matter of my previous post to be metaphysics rather than religion. As I pointed out elsewhere our representative interpretants differ considerably. For me theology is the study dealing with God. It is one of the special sciences. Religious belief being a matter pertaining to man as an individual. And the remainer of interest to sociologists and psychologists. At what place does Peirce relegate religion to methphisics in his writings on the architectonic of the sciences?

Understood, although I consider the subject matter of my previous post to be metaphysics rather than religion. AvB: By the way, I like this one most: I will simply point out that Peirce is not identifying those "immensely superior" beings with God, since they would still be finite; he is stating that the being of God would not rule out the possibility of such beings.

I will not respond to the content of your words since my aim was not to start a discussion about religion. In general I skip mails on the list on that subject. But by our communication on semiotics being in a cul-de-sac kind of state I started wondering if the cause could reside here. With our respective views on the final interpretant I think it does. By the way, I like this one most: This statement excludes a finite god; although the Being of God would not, as far as I see, necessarily exclude that of a whole race of beings immensely superior to ourselves, such, for example, that the whole visible universe might be no more than a nucleolus in a single cell of the body of one of them.
