Subject: RE: Extremism's theological roots
ddw,

Most of the time, people don't understand what they see, and don't even understand that they don't understand----The fact that no one has been able to prove to you that God exists only means that you are not able to understand what they see and experience. The "Non-believer" and the "atheist" make the assumption that their own understanding of the universe is sufficient to dismiss the concept of God as a factor in the universe--This is a fairly shakey premise, when you consider that they are unable to understand the views of even one of the multitudes from St. Thomas to Al Ghazzali, to Thomas Merton to well, you pick--
