On the back of, well, life and stuff, these are some of the things I've been musing on lately:
The question of who God is, is far more interesting and meaningful than the question of whether God is.
I like Neil Young's stuff a lot better than I always assumed I would.
To explain irony to Americans who ask for an example, I should just show them clips from Top Gear.
I've been spending too much time watching Top Gear online lately, but that's explained by the fact that I only just discovered that it has an official site that you don't have to be in the UK to watch.
I'm Sick and Tired of the cosmological argument for the existence of God. However, being bored reading about it (again) meant that I figured out how to explain the ontological argument to someone else.
Jesus told his church to go and make disciples of all nations. These days we in the west seem to largely assume evangelism covers a lot of that, but I'm beginning to think that (as usual) we've got hold of the wrong end of the stick on that one.
Thus have been my musings. Now I have to continue homework reading.

Something that we can agree on!
ReplyDeleteThe cosmological and teleological arguments get way too much airtime.
Sometimes all we sing about is, "God is so great, he made the earth, the sun, the pretty things." It makes me feel that perhaps we're slipping into some sort of pantheism, or that some people really don't get the idea that God has actually saved us from sin. Is that a tenebrous reality to some Christians?
Meanwhile, the ontological argument kicks ass. Anyone who tries to argue against it always ends up sounding like they're eight years old, talking about unicorns and desert islands and such.
Teh ontological argument does kick ass, but it's hard to get people to grasp it so that it doesn't come across as a leap of wishful thinking. It's too radical in that way, I guess. Comes across as Phase 3: Profit!
