But, if I understand Anglicanism correctly, and its Episcopal version here in the U.S., I would suspect, under the standards Kant set out in his "Religion within the Boundaries of Mere Reason," that it shares with others his condemnation of "fetish-faiths," insofar as it shares the three "delusory faiths" of "faith in miracles," "faith in mysteries," and "faith in means of grace."<BR/><BR/>For myself, I hope we don't have to condition an assertion such as "God is love," to the condition, "unless, of course, in our future enlightenment we determinine otherwise."<BR/><BR/>--rick allenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
