If anything I’m a bit charmed by the fact that you are going through my old entries. I would have made them private if they were meant to be private. I subscribe to the idea that if my thoughts about life or any detail of it can help or stimulate another person, then that is something to be celebrated. It does make me curious about you though. I checked out your journal and it seems to contain a lot of quotes and scattered thoughts that often seem disconnected from the thoughts that motivated you to include them. I would be interested in what a rant from you looks like. Also where you live, if you know mark baird ([Bad username or site: ”sidhebear” @ livejournal.com]) personally or just through lj, and who you want to be when you grow up.
I enjoyed my classes in systematic theology so much that I completed an emphasis in it along with my emphasis in Christian ethics. I still wrestle with the question of ‘how does one maintain one’s own faith while being respectful and solicitous of learning from the faith of others?’(faith being intimately connected with one’s concept of reality) I am committed to doing them both and have settled down with the idea that it is one of those life-long processes rather than something for which there is a short answer. However if you are interested in long answers, I have 2 offers for you. If you give me an e-mail and an indication of your interest, I can immediately send you a copy of my credo(the afore-mentioned 40+ page paper based on the class discussed which includes my conclusion about ultimate reality) and after time enough to find and scan the documents, I can send you a copy of the paper by a theologian named dicosta who influenced my conclusion and put the problem in a very neat way.
