Estranged Notions: What is Classical Theism?
Today's post:
Nothing much of substance here, since this is Cothran's argument against a fellow theologian (Stephen H. Webb) who, at least as Cothran puts it, finds the classical-theism God—the immutable, omni*, etc. ‘ultimate ground of being’—to be inconsistent with (a) important aspects of Christian theology and (b) our current understanding of the nature of the universe.

Estranged Notions: Does the Bible Support Same-Sex Marriage?
Today's post:
Does the Bible Support Same-Sex Marriage?
As I believe I've mentioned before, I am, as an atheist, entirely in favour of the Catholic church (and other churches) harping on sexual issues as much as possible, because it's the most effective way of both undercutting their claim to moral authority and driving away many members. (The 2009 Pew survey showed that the top reasons given for leaving the Catholic church—all ranked above the abuse scandals—were the church's positions on homosexuality, abortion, contraception, and divorce, and the status of women.)

Estranged Notions: Does “Atheology” Exist?
Yesterday's post:
Feser correctly disagrees with Plantinga, though on a point which seems to me to be more about terminology than substance. Feser's mistake of course is in thinking that metaphysics (and hence ‘natural theology’) is somehow prior to science.
