"The pluralistic form takes for me a stronger hold on reality than any other philosophy I know of, being essentially a social philosophy, a philosophy of 'co'"-William James
For those who didn't make it over to the Student Center's Parliamentary Room this afternoon (note Singer's discussion of Anselm and, implicitly at least, Aquinas on a first cause):
I can understand agnosticism, but a single human being who has lived not more then a few decades on earth, with a mind that can only perceive in 3 dimensions, who says that he has searched the world over and knows without a shred of doubt that there is not a possibility to entertain the idea of a god of any sort seems kind of arrogant to me. I could never understand atheism.
Well said, Michael. That puts it in perspective quite nicely.
Now, for my comment on this video, I shall quote the little kid from The Incredibles: THAT WAS TOTALLY WICKED! Granted, it might just be that I enjoy debates over anything substantive, so I might be a bit biased as a debater myself. Regardless, I loved watching that exchange, especially the number of turns Mr. Lennox employed. Besides, he had a great accent.
I loved hearing this discussion. And, also, I loved hearing them converse about the topic of a loving God and human suffering.
