Religious writers believe in and encourage others to believe in truths ehat cannnot be named, communicated, explained, or understood. In the absence of understanding, religious leaders cite the name of God.. Badiou and other writers have faith in the existence of truths that cannot be named, communicated, explained or understood. In the absence of understanding , they cite each each other's names. regards, Hugh ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .. > Hugh > > why do you think God/theoilogy And faith has anything to do with > Eroc's paragraph ? > > s > > hbone wrote: > > >Eric/All, > >Eric wrote, > > > > > > > >>As Badiou puts it, the animal becomes an immortal in fidelity to the > >>event of a truth that itself remains unnameable.

Truths that leave their selves incommunicado but with religious fervor for naming each other. I remember a night service outdoors in an enormous public space at Lourdes. Hundreds of cripples and otherwise afflicted. All of them immersed in holy scripture, holy light and holy music. Confident in their faith; certain the name of God would make them whole. > > > >Hugh > > > > > >A truth that remains unnameable > > > > > >--- StripMime Warning -- MIME attachments removed --- > >This message may have contained attachments which were removed. > > > >Sorry, we do not allow attachments on this list. > > > >--- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- > >multipart/alternative > > text/plain (text body -- kept) > > text/html > >--- > > > > > > > > > --- StripMime Warning -- MIME attachments removed --- > This message may have contained attachments which were removed. > > Sorry, we do not allow attachments on this list. > > --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- > multipart/alternative > text/plain (text body -- kept) > text/html > --- >
