What is the point in pursuing dead letters when one
can
feast on a "living Word"
Or, as on TT, theologically unknowing while
spiritually alive. This is much more the case.
So true, so true KD
A man may be Theologically knowing while spiritually
DEAD..... Judy Taylor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

By Rad Fundies you are talking about people who
believe Genesis as it is
written - Right??
PS What is wrong with the Carroll Dean's and
the Pat Robertsons of this
world? You may have to eat those words one day
because both are busy
about what they believe God has called them to
do and who are you to
denigrate another man's servant. O thou Romans

It is a shame we will not be able to finish this thread, I
suppose, but I must say something here
-- the conflict (speaking for myself) is not between
science and religion. It is between religion and
fundamentalism (radical fundamentalism, if you
will.) Knowing that the first step will not be last step
for Rad Fundies, I prefer to deal with the situation outside the
school setting. The church has done an excellent job
in this regard with the High School population -- but it
has forsaken the University campus' without a fight. Truth
will win out if compared to that which has no
bearings. The failure, here, is with the church and
its seeming inability to continue with the college age
population. It -- religion - simply does not
need to be in collegiate curriculum to win the fight for the hearts
and minds of the college age student.
The church has done a shameful job with the older student, just
as it does with the unwanted-infant population. If
the church could place 1.4 million newborns each year
-- abortion would be EASILY defeated. But , as
long as we think that after birth, it is all up to the
infant, well, the battle will rage.
In short -- the fundies (and not they alone) do
not want the kind of involvement that would make victory in either
venue almost undeniable. I do not want the Carroll Dean's and
Pat Robertsons of this world running anything of an evangelistic
nature.
