>Theology starts with "it's true because I said so"
To believe this is to cut yourself off from an unfathomably rich collection of human knowledge, and it is sad to see someone committed to it.
- jpollock 5y agoExcept, that's what it literally is. God speaks to someone. That someone says "It's true because God told me so." I have read religious works, I'm not cut off from them. It's impossible to be cut off from theology in the USA. However, they all start with "it is true because I (the author) say so".
