I counted six in the first five pages. I stopped my tally after that. Of course for most folks, I have no idea. Really? I don’t see one person that stands out as a theist in the first five pages.

Back to the OP. This thread has made it readily apparent why these three books won’t see much traction here. Corbridge’s primary question number one gets in the way at the get go.

MG. Let's see if I have this. You speak the language of science, philosophy, and the spirit so can understand everything.

And if we’ve never heard the language of the Spirit in the first place, it would be foreign to us until we seek it.

I can only score...accurately...that in which I am familiar with first person. I will let a Jehovah’s Witness, Muslim, Catholic, or any other religious person speak for themselves. That's strange, because you seem pretty willing to 'score' honor's experience. Honor may have at one time understood t...

Excuse my ignorance. What do you mean by 'Juggernaut,' in this context?

Was my answer satisfactory?

Absolutely. Thank you for the explanation. I'm not sure it applies to this framework, but thank you.

I’ve already invested the time explaining why this isn’t going to go anywhere. Juggernaut.
