"and lets make the national agenda a lively 24-hour a day discussion of how many angels can dance on the head of a pin..."

Curiously enough, this was once a topic of serious and heated debate among Christian theologists.

The bone of contention is whether there is any limit to how small God can make an angel? If not, then there can be an actual infinity of angels on the pin, contrary to Aristotlian philosphies underpinning the Medieval church. If so, then there is a size limit to God's power of creation.

I don't think Christian theologists worry about it much any more. Serious scholarship isn't what it used to be among them.

Ain't THAT the truth.

Christianity has been paganized, at least in the west.

Shalom.

This is why I enjoy FR ! BTW I have been known to try to elicit responses such as yours. Thank you for this learned and reasoned response which is quite interesting. The only contention from me is that the entire argument was based on belief systems and any answer whatsoever was still begging the question.
