To: Enemy Of The State
Excellent article. The paragraph on Heiddeger really slew me. And of course he is right on the mark. There are really only two choices: believe in the Logos, the God Who created the universe in harmony and rationality, or believe in nothing, but try to go on bravely without any foundations for rationality or logic to rest on.
That's why, although a free society like the United States can separate Church from State, it can't do without the Church or the synagogue entirely, because as a certain French visitor pointed out in the 19th century, American Democracy can only survive as long as the majority of her citizens adhere to religious faith and moral principles.
