Listers,
Martin Heidegger, the light of the past century not mentioned in any
Monty Python joke known to this subscriber, embarked from theology
before settling into philosophy, or _thought_ simpliciter. His religious
sojourn was intersting. Brought up catholig, he turned to Luther (also
Martin so-called) before abandoning theology all-together. He later
remarked that the only thing that could save theologians from themselves
is if they would give up their claim that dogma is purely faith based
and embrace his (martin's, heidegger's that is) view that all dogma is
grounded in _tradition_.
Cheers for Paul, and the carriers of the lit-id torch.

"It makes no difference to me at what point I begin, for I shall always
come back again to this. It is necessary both to say and to think that
being is; for it is possible that being is, and it is impossible that
not-being is; this is what I bid thee ponder." -- The Goddess of
Parmenides
