Kevin : Let's put it this way. Something easy to remember. A woman sends me a letter. We have a relationship. As far as I am concerned the whole relationship is a miracle, and within that miracle are all sorts of individual miracles. She doesn't walk of water or change water into wine, but miracles nonetheless. But her letter contains some errors of fact and contradicts something she said a year ago. I make allowances . The relationship is what is important more than anything else. But I don't pretend she is 100 % perfect, just as I know that I also am a flawed human being. We can, if we actually mean something to each other, work out the mistakes and any contradictions. We cannot do so, however, unless we are first honest about them.and admit them.

It all comes down to whether or not you believe in miracles. Because a truly immaculate text is impossible without a miracle, but is possible if you believe that supernatural miracles can occur. So the question of whether or not miracles can exist is something you have to answer a priori. -Kevin _______________________________________________ Centroids mailing list: [email protected] http://radicalcentrism.com/mailman/listinfo/centroids_radicalcentrism.com Archives at http://radicalcentrism.org/pipermail/centroids_radicalcentrism.com/
