Thanks for the interesting historical background on the three-legged stool Scripture, tradition and reason. Shaw is clearly seeking to elevate reason above the other legs of the Church.

Compare the words "straight is The Way and narrow is The Gate" to the hogwash dished out by liberal theologians. Once in the gray area of tradition and reason(whose?) scripture goes out of the church in its importance.

Elevating the third leg? In any case, what is supposed to be "reasonable" about gay porn, etc?

...Shaw is clearly seeking to elevate reason above the other legs of the Church.

I think Hooker actually said "Right Reason as illumined by the Holy Spirit".

Actually, the libs are trying to elevate experience or feelings above all the three legs. Something Hooker would have been aghast at.

Also, Shaw seems to define "reason" as "anything we wish were true". This definition isn't exactly, well, reasonable.

And he tries to equate lust with "love".
