I would be happy to allow such theologians to attempt to run circles around my analysis.
And yes, I have read augustine and aquinas – and if you understood the development of natural law from aristotle, through Aquinas, through Blackstone and finally my work you’d grasp that it’s a civilizational project – an attempt to reduce european success into empirical, scientific, and finally operational terms
There is no theologian live or dead that would survive an argument with me. Sorry.
Even the best I know of merely takes the Aquinan position that I’m correct for the mind, but the spirit needs faith – which I would agree with. I just question what group strategy the faith indoctrinates one into. Because most religions caused failyre of their civilizations to develop by 800ad.
Try it. No one will take it. Try to find anyone.
