[Vision2020] Christ Church and freedom of religion

[Joe Campbell]

Princess,

You keep saying how clear and obvious everything is, insulting those who disagree with you as being sophists and idiots. That is why there is so much disagreement on these issues: Everyone other than you is either a sophist or an idiot.

This is a very convenient world-view! It doesn't produce much interesting dialogue but I'm sure it provides you with a great deal of comfort.

Herein lies the beauty of being a philosopher! You can tke your sophistry to 
a more sophisticated level. Of course, any philosopher worth his soph can 
translate Greek by himself, so have at it:

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%206%20;&version=69;

Or choose any one of the other 35 translations available there.

If that still doesn't make the point clear, check with any major 
confessional statement or catechism (e.g., the Westminster Confession of 
Faith or Westminster Larger Catechism), or major commentators in the 
Protestant, Roman Catholic, or Eastern Orthodox traditions.

I'll be frank: the point under consideration is only "controversial" among 
ignorami.
