The great man speaks from the grave. We miss you Bob.

A half-truth, like much of the real world. Religion espouses that which makes for better, more stable and civil societies, so long as political power is kept from it. Christianity is more of a philosophy than a religion. There are many Christian relligions, and the above is true for some of them. Menkin is either truly ignorant of the Christian faith at best, or at worst is trying to mislead the faithless.

I would have substituted knowledge for truth, but as a working philosophy it makes much sense. Today's heresy often becomes tomorrow's canon.

Actually in post-modernist thought, belief makes it true. Collective belief is collective truth, collective truth becomes common knowledge. Imagine that, full circle...

Real good advice. You never know what will happen next!

I miss writers with the quality of Robert's mind. Truly one of our best.
