Hi Lance. You paint me with too broad of a brush. I may be more agreeable with Plato than Aristotle, but as I said in my previous post, I am more like Jesus Christ than Plato. I have no reason to object to myself. You are well read, Lance, but you have not yet left your mother's milk and learned to think for yourself. What I mean is that you are constantly trying to categorize people into categories that you have learned about from others. None of these categories actually exist in the real world. They are philosophical constructs. You need to leave your more primitive level of learning and starting applying your mind in a rational way to philosophy and theology in such a way that you begin to formulate your own reasons for believing what you believe. You might think that you are not smart enough to do it, but you are. It is courage you need, boldness, to begin to think for yourself. It is there within you. Make use of it. Don't bury your talent. Peace be with you. David Miller. ---------- "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man."
