[ QUOTE ]
So, the works of Nietzsche and Heidegger are part of Theology. Correct?
[/ QUOTE ]
They deal with many of the same questions as theology.
[/ QUOTE ]So, they deal with k, which is part of P, while k (as you say) is also part of T.
And, from this, you deduce that set P is a member of set T.
Can you see the error of your ways ?
[ QUOTE ]
Nietzsche says there are no absolutes. Theology says there are.
[/ QUOTE ]So what's that supposed to mean?
I'm genuinely puzzled. Since both endeavors, philosophy and theology, concern themselves with the issue of absolutes, this means ..what exactly about which one incorporates the other?
[ QUOTE ]
I believe that theology is greater than and includes philosophy, but that's of no consequence.
[/ QUOTE ]What is of consequence, is your use of the operative word : you believe, indeed, and actually have noting else to base that contention on, i.e. that philosophy is ...part of theology. Jesus Christ Almighty.
[ QUOTE ]
[Atheists] don't want the God of the Bible to exist. They may want a senile old grandfather in the sky who will overlook their faults and give them all the presents they want, I don't know.
[/ QUOTE ]Again, I point out the operative words : I don't know. Truly, you don't. As stated many a time, Man has come to realize that the gods of the past are his own creation, instead of vice versa. It cannot be denied, nevertheless, that a world with a God as prescribed in Christian religion, or even other monotheistic religions (which are, in any case, quite similar) would be vastly preferable for Man to the God-less world we actually inhabit. And for many reasons, too, which have been already presented in other threads. (It's really elementary stuff.)

If atheists don't believe in God, they don't believe in Satan either. And if it turns out God does exist, why would atheists turn to Satanists?
[/ QUOTE ]
I didn't say anything about satanists.
[/ QUOTE ] Well, you said "Atheists just don't want God to exist; but if the God of the Bible does, they want Satan to win." People who prefer Satan over God are called Satanists. I will accept a retraction but cannot accept that the definition of Satanist has changed.
Oh, and you also said "[Atheists] may hate Satan more but still want him to win since he's the underdog."
You must be confusing atheists with long-shot bettors. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
