[Vision2020] Book Burning!

[Ted Moffett]

Doug, et. al.

I get it!  I am now enlightened.  I no longer confuse those "argument norms, 
internal criticisms and worldviews" as you phrased it.

"Logic," being the special "Bible" of modernity, is a useless tool to 
critique the rationality of your special brand of Christianity.  You do not 
employ any logical tools in your metaphysical system involved in the 
development of mathematics and logic, these tools being part of the "Bible" 
of modernity, rejected vehemently.  Deductive and inductive logic, 
syllogisms, the logic of references, forms of mathematical logic, are not to 
be employed to question your fundamental assumptions.  Any attempt to 
reference them to critique your whole system is "confused,"  is an attempt 
to reference a neutral shared common ground of logic that does not exist, 
utilizing assumptions and tools from another world view.

Your argument, which does not exist because this implies communicating 
principles of "reason" from a common ground of logic, falls into a vacuum of 
self justifying metaphysical emptiness where anything goes if it fits how 
you decide the Bible is to be read... after all, God has revealed it!  Any 
objections raised to this scheme are rendered meaningless because they 
utilize a form of reasoning drawn from a "Bible" of some other religion... a 
false religion, of course.

First eternal truths revealed to man!  Logic, the "Bible" of modernity, 
vanquished in triumph!

You are above critique, in a lofty world of eternal truth.

What a blessing for a world suffering from the evils of modernity.

It's time for a good old fashioned book burning.  If I can just find my 
books on logic and evidence... it's a cold day and a fire would be cozy.

Doug, et. al.

Perhaps, Doug, you are correct in your assessment of my thought, whatever 
you meant.  Your comment lacked precision.  On the other hand, perhaps there 
is a mirror nearby...
