Actually I read "Why I am Not a Christian" sometime back in January. It was in our Ethics class book, which I carted up here to Purdue with me. I really liked that essay. Another one was "Homosexuality and the "Unnaturalness Argument" " by Burton M Leiser which I really liked. One of my new friends here and I get into discussions about homosexuality and pretty much all sorts of moral issues. He's a Protestant, but remarkably we're able to have a good dialog despite disagreeing on a lot of issues. So how've you been X? -Tom

I once read Russell as an adolescent and in my early twenties. His system of logic and mathematics is sound but his philosophical writings are adolescent drollings. His philosophy is trapped in the cultural time warp of Western Empiricism. Extended adolescent is the universal disease of pagans. Sad to find you there. Always felt that you had somehow succeeded in raising your head slightly above the mire. As a child, I thought as a child and spoke as a child but now I have put away childish myths for truths that are solid and eternal. The wisdom of man is foolishness to God. Jesus Christ is Wisdom untouched by time and culture.
