There is no such field of study. There are experts in literature and
experts in the behavior of bronze age tribes but there are no
experts in the "field" of theology because there is no knowledge
there to impart. There is no there there.� And I don't understand
your grudge with occidental civilization, western religions are not
significantly stupider than eastern religions.� �

Speaking of confusion, I am using the word "theology", as you admit
in the above, as it has been used for the last 1500 years. If you
insist on redefining common words (like God and theology) and give
them your own private meaning then confusion is inevitable; we need
a language to communicate and a language known to only one person is
useless.

That is one ridiculous statement! With or without theology people
had no trouble figuring out that there is a reality, so did snails.

I didn't think it was possible but that statement is even more
ridiculous! Science had to fight every inch of the way against
theology and theologians and the fight still isn't over. If you
can't immediately figure out how something can be the way it is
theology advises you to just give up and say "God did it"; in other
words theologians are intellectually lazy, but fortunately
scientists are not. But they do have something in common, they both
love mysteries. Theologians love mysteries because they like to
wallow in ignorance, scientists love mysteries because it gives them
something new to try to figure out. That's why particle physicists
would be absolutely delighted if the LHC produced something
mysterious that contradicted something they thought they knew and
will be very disappointed if nothing like that shows up in one of
their detectors. Can you imagine a theologian being delighted to
find something that contradicted his faith? I can't. � � �
