Ahh yes Nietzsche and the "Death of God" and all that it implies (if I'm not mixing up my philosophers). Hence, Epicure's citing Tillich as the Christian's response to this. I can't understand Koan just chucking all that out the window. Obviously, no spiritual existence, in the traditional sense, can be contemplated in his post-modern (?) philosophical universe, but Tillich seems to struggle so mightily with the question of the foundations of our being that I would think that the post-modernists would have to wrestle just as hard to dismiss his premises. Or maybe it no longer works that way. Anyway, suddenly I'm back in college again with the late night bull sessions (if ones two best friends are philosophy majors) and competing world ideologies-- thanks everyone for the memories.
