I always wondered what exactly can these theology professors emeritus, at say Notra Dame or Harvard, be teaching absent any facts or logic?

I'm a bit surprised at this assertion, koan. Given your many statements about existentialism, I thought you might be familiar with existential theology--Paul Tillich and Rudolf Bultmann as the prime examples. There are, of course, others, Catholics and Jewish.

There was something called the death of god movement within protestant theological circles in the 60s but it always lacked the clarity of Tillich and Bultmann. If you haven't read them, you might take a look, particularly Tillich's Dynamics of Faith, amazon.com, which I thought was a classic in this tradition. And accessible.

I particularly recommend reading the comments section at Amazon to give you some sense of the importance of the book.
