He cannot see the world, let alone raise the eyes of his mind to the cause of the world. As far as he is concerned, man can know only what is in his own mind; he can know of God only in so far as he is a part of God, or is God. He invites all men and women, not to share his blindness, but to set up havens of darkness of their own where, with no truth intruding to interrupt the game, they can play at being God, or a part of God.<BR/><BR/>"All of these people agree that we can know nothing of the knowledge of God. If their particular explanations are not appealing, a man might try, without stepping outside the boundaries of a negative answer, the despair of the evolutionist's answer -- that men are the only part of the life process enjoying intelligence, our knowledge is all there is.

In either form he is contradicting the facts that he himself must live by, every day facts like our knowledge of love, of justice, of friendship, which are slippery things to slide under a microscope."<BR/>- Comments from <A HREF="http://www.congregator.net/ebooks/companion-summa-ch4.htm" REL="nofollow">Companion of the Summa</A><BR/><BR/>I believe this is an accurate summary of the social conditions which enable the problem of Communitarian Law. Society has lost its knowledge of God.<BR/><BR/>My professional troubleshooting career proves to me that to correct a problem, you don't attack the symptoms. A successful troubleshooter identifies the cause of the problem and attacks that cause without mercy. The cause of the problem is not located in Spokane, or in the Kyoto Protocol. The Kyoto Protocol is one of several symptoms about to manifest itself in Spokane.Bobby Garnerhttp://www.congregator.netnoreply@blogger.com
