In reply to Alden Smith. Sorry, Alden. (Comments leave out 80% of communication.) I didn't think you were being flip! I wanted to agree with you and support what you said.

In reply to Kevin Aldrich. I'm not trying to be insulting Kevin. Just pointing it out that she is a Catholic. She is also one of the best professor I have ever had. I'm sorry if i was disrespectful

In reply to Alden Smith. Right she was because she was an anatomy teacher who was a Catholic. Her job was to teach anatomy, of which there is no special Catholic version!

In reply to Kevin Aldrich. I was taught critcal thinking by my Catholic Anatomy Professor in college. She never mentioned religion unless in private chat.

In reply to Jonathan West. It depends on whether or not my friend wanted to know, and whether or not this information had been taught. In high school, most of the freshman English classes read "A Tale of Two Cities". My class read, instead, "Gone With the Wind". Which novel is more relevant to American Culture as a whole?

In reply to Lydia. I'm sure Al Kresta was completely objective about these other faiths.

It seems that in some ways the tactic of being open-minded about religion for your children is either lazy (I don't want to go through the hassle of religion either for me or my kid, or I really don't have the time/inclination to think about it) or it is the thought that religion is nice for some people, and perhaps a way to raise nice kids that don't steal, but they are all the same anyway. I've been reading Al Kresta's book "Dangers to the Faith" http://j.mp/OSVKrestaDTF, (about what in our culture pulls Catholics away from the faith) and this thought that all religions are the same marginalizes them, but especially Christianity. The parents that raise their kids to be "open-minded," but are shocked and almost appalled to see their child embrace Christ, have been affected deeply by a culture that has neutered Christianity. The antidote to this is education, education, education to those we can educate; and personally affecting the culture in any positive way we can, such as the arts, the media, and personal actions. The past 40 years have been a wasteland of education for Catholics until recently and the more spreading of the Truth, the more couples will be affected for the better.

In reply to David Nickol. Thanks for the pointer, David. I used to go over to First Things when they were putting up derogatory pieces about the recent atheist movement. They dropped much of that, after a while, but I will take a moment to go see what is up now. (I did notice Feser's piece on "nothing," which I put on my stack to go answer.)

In reply to David Nickol.

David,

I am pretty much fine with your reading of the Jesus and the Canaanite woman. But then I was not criticizing your reading of the text now was I.

I am taking issue with people try to make the texts more than are, and more than they can possibly be demonstrated to be. Your complaint about me seems to be that I am not going to allow people to try to hold Jesus up as a moral paragon without objection.

To expect a story about a 1st-century Jew, believed to be divine by the teller of the story, and a 1st-century Canaanite woman, having an encounter that somehow transcends time and culture is to totally misread the story.

I do not expect this David. In fact I expect the very parochial nature of the text. However, there are those, some found here, that claim that the this book, the BIble, is the most exquisite book on morals and human ethics ever created. I think its clear historical context, and cobbled together nature bear the clear stamp of its lowly origin. No doubt you will go all tone police on me for that statement.
