But, whichever you do in this moment, you will realize the truth of pandeism at some point, if even at the moment that old age passes you into the next world.K.

Answer: they can't; pandeism is unlike the others in that, by combining their strengths and discarding their weaknesses, it subsumes and fully accounts for all forms of theism, making it unassailable to theistic objection.K.

I'm confident you've seen Nilsson's book at some time, for a discussion of the rest of the Greek pantheon.<br />St. Paul was resisted in Asia Minor and Greece because his religious outlook was too "hard" for the Hellenistic world. Artemis and De-meter are a lot easier.<br />Regards.Tom in NJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18842286.post-76921424321331696512009-12-22T08:01:28.401-06:002009-12-22T08:01:28.401-06:00Outstanding post, Father.

Now, I realize I was studying "pantheism."<br /><br />Your last sentence says it all! Not just about theolgical sophomores but also about liberal, something-for-nothing, no personal responsibility America that voted in the idiots that are ruining us. <br /><br />T.
