Also, I'm glad you're so smart, but you really aren't very good at lucid communication.

Missed this. Currently, retail. I've just finished my degree, however, and expect to move on to an academic field. Why do you ask? To demonstrate how thoroughly my professors have brainwashed me?

Free thinkers? Professors with an agenda are educating students to be free thinkers? I'm not sure how that scenario is different than a minister with an agenda "educating" his parishioners.

I've met many priests, most of them are extremely conservative. Of those priests, all of them were willing to discuss. That being typed, there's a big difference between a priest and a non-Catholic preacher.

Dude... I know you and I shared many professors. Come on, now. That especially doesn't jive with the philosophy of one professor I know you and I both admire quite a bit. You don't think he had an agenda beyond encouraging us to be free thinkers, and fully understanding the origins of the GOP, do you?

pimpdave wrote:I disagree. I think the mention of Thomas' doubt is included in the gospel for a very good reason and he is only vilified by those seeking to control others, yet is used as an example of how we all are by theologians capable of critical thought.
Another example is the story of Jacob wrestling with the angel, among others.
Does the Bible ever actually say that Thomas was sinning by having doubts? Can anyone really say Jesus didn't have doubts while in the desert for forty days and forty nights, or the night before he was crucified, or, most poignantly, when he cried out, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

Hmm... we obviously went to different schools. As I typed, I may have exagerrated a little. My law school professors were far worse than my college professors (law being subject to interpretation more than history and all).Titanic wrote:Ironically to your statements, priests and Catholics and all religions rely on a lack of critical thinking.

I couldn't disagree with you more, at least with respect to Catholics. "Angels and Demons" notwithstanding, the Catholic Church is very open to debate and critical thinking.

What the hell professors do you have? All the ones I have had, and the ones that my friends have told me about, encourage discussion and critical thinking. FFS, on one of my essays my politics professor wrote in his notes "I disagree with your outcome but like your method of thinking" and gave me a 1st for it. In our seminars you have people from all ideologies and backgrounds and the professors merely encourage debate and question why people what they believe.
