"We are invited to become what we are."

Been there, done that... thanks.

"Rather, the Being of Jesus saves us from thinking that we know good and evil and thus saves us from ideology and theory and returns us to ourselves."

Is itself both a theory and an ideology and where do you end up... yourself!

But, that is merely my opinion of such ruminations. On the 'up' side, you have achieved salvation by your own definition:

"Our salvation is not from the pains of hell but from ideas that we think are "clear and distinct" as Descartes would have had it."

Congratulations.

Religion is the conviction that history may be changed by ideas and force. The implication that religion is separate from and superior to ideology is an illusion of the author's.

Religion is an ideology. Religion justified: slaughters by Christian Crusaders; Anti-Semitism; countless religious wars in Europe; and the Spanish Inquisition. Religion is currently causing distrust, hatred and violence in Israel, Northern Ireland and civil wars in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan.

There is also an increasingly documented correlation in Australia between Men of the Cloth and pedophilia.

There is also an increasingly documented correlation in Australia between Men of the Cloth and pedophilia. Pete has warned us.

Our Prime Minister is connected to the Cloth and Bike-riding (pedophilia is the Latin) and your television shows clearly bike-riding is full of men's sweaty bottoms all swaying in the breeze! Yuk!

Is it possible that the growth of cycling is a result of gay-lobby groups putting the bait, mate, before the public gaze while pretending it is a sport?

Should cycling be banned?

Yes cycling ex-Jesuit boxer "rode" scholars who entertain Big Business and brave Sir Knights should certainly be watched.

No matter how many times Sellick holds forth belief in superstitious mumbojumbo is nothing more than belief in superstitious mumbojumbo.

All his articles can be summed up by the proposition that such belief is worthwhile.

Peter (Sellick),
The contributors (so far) appear to having a laugh at your expense.

You need to visit an ethics class in a NSW primary school. There you would learn how helping young people to think, for themselves, about various ethical concepts such as human rights and consequently the rights of animals, some species of whom are exceeding closely related to us (the naked apes). Or you could hear discussions of fairness or honesty and thus maybe recognize that the students are developing a solid base of ethical concepts for themselves.

The students are learning how to think and how to make sensible decisions throughout the whole of their lives. The following generation will be raised by more competent parents, something dogmatic teaching cannot achieve.

Online opinion has a report on file of a trial that verified the outcome of conducting classes which discuss open ended questions between young peers.

Socrates was right well before those who wrote the New Testament put words into the mouth of someone who supposedly lived many years before the first four books of the NT were written.
