Topics for potential Chat session

Unread post

I want to discuss with Ms. Armstrong the reasons why she went from Catholicism to Atheism and back to monothiesm (freelance kind).I find it interesting that she has continually fine-tuned her paradigms regarding belief. I also wonder about her take on why we believe. She seems to accept scientific explanations of Evolution from reading the Introduction.Mr. P. The one thing of which I am positive is that there is much of which to be negative - Mr. P.I came to get down, I came to get down. So get out ya seat and jump around - House of PainHEY! Is that a ball in your court? - Mr. PI came to kick ass and chew Bubble Gum...and I am all out of Bubble Gum - They Live, Roddy Piper

I just asked in the other thread if anyone knows her religious views. You've just answered that question, but I agree that further discussion would be interesting. I'll be starting the book tomorrow so I'll have more to offer.Chris

NickI saw the questions in the back of the book and think we would benefit by having a separate thread for each question. How about you create threads for the first or the last 1/2 of the questions and I create threads for the rest?Chris
