Ham:
We are all "novices" when it comes to defining the uncreated source. What annoys me, however, is the arrogance of those who vehemently deny the supernatural on the ground that theology is based on superstition and mythology. Such people fancy themselves so "enlightened" in their nihilism that they have no need for spirituality or belief in a higher reality. I think D'Souza's argument is vindicated by the historical fact that, despite the Crusades of the Middle Ages and the witch hunts of colonial times, the most stable, moral, and technologically advanced nations in the free world have been founded on Christian principles.
Ron:
Because Christian principles are founded on Greek philosophy and of course we are going
to see them as "good" because they are culturally derived affirmations, now as you profess in your
explainations of Hams Essentialism, Nihlism must be a perjorative misnomer since individual awareness
is nothing but meaning. This is the ethical dilemma objectivism cultivates Ham. This is why
I think it really doesent help your cause in the explaination of your thesis.
But we can say that Objectivism is a pejorative misnomer for the misunderstanding of Aristotles
Physics, irregardless, the condition exists and it is known as Objectivism and it's effect is still
the same.
