    Scott Said:

    "some of them (like the Trinity) are not accessible by reason alone. Lessing
    held the view that "revelations were not rational when revealed, but were
    revealed so that they may become rational" (something like that), and this
    is the basis of the old Augustinian maxim: faith seeking understanding."

    So, in the end, the Church gets it whichever way it wants it. Holy Trinity?
    Just believe. Ressurection of the body? Just believe. Virgin birth? Just
    believe. Infallability of the Pope? Just believe. Mel Gibson knows his
    shit? Just believe. The rhythm method works? Just believe and save up for
    a seventh addition to your house. God hates fags? Just believe, mangle the
    constitution and take your son to a Clint Eastwood movie.

    God takes America's side, so you better get on it or we'll nuke yer shit!

    JUST BELIEVE!

    C.
