Where atheists and theists may find common ground for discussion

[Thats my opinion]

52. Really? I get out a lot more than you know anything about

It is strange that I find here so much resistance to the idea that theology has done anywhere since Copernicus.
Let me acknowledge again that among the mass of Christians there may still be a sense that the notion of a two tiered universe is normative. Modern theology, however has moved far beyond that. And if you were acquainted both with the literature and the theological/ academic work which has gone on in these area for some time, you would know that they are not just following old superstitious patterns. Why those who claim to be fairly modern are not willing to acknowledge in theology what you celebrate in science is a curious question. The world in both has moved on, and if it takes lots of time for what is currently happening to catch on popularly, that is just the way things work.

My (our) task as theologians is to work with the rest of the religious establishment in helping old institutions and thought patterns die, and to find ways to celebrate and articulate what is new and powerful.

It is not the majority of Christianity, but the leading edge I have tired to explain. I think there are reasons you all don't want to hear it, but that is for you to figure out.

In dealing with what is happening in the religious/theological world, I don't think I'm the one in the bubble. If you want a reading lists of current thought. I would be happy to supply it. In the meantime, despite your wanting all theology to be trapped in old forms we are still still thinking and working with many others out of the box you keep insisting we stay in.
