Interesting stuff. The Indian guy (can't remember his name) says the minute you define God, you limit God, as though that's a problem. He seem to even have a problem with freedom. At that point, I'd ask, what's the point of going further. That is a metaphysical divide that needs to be addressed at a different level than the question about the existence of Satan.

A lady in the audience asked whether it wasn't selfish to NOT consider other peoples' points of view about salvation. I agree with her answer to that rhetorical question. We OUGHT to consider other points of view, if for no other reason than we can't ADDRESS them without UNDERSTANDING them. But I would add that a view that makes more sense ought to be embraced. Because God designed us to be rational. I think this much is fundamental to any discussion of theology at any level. Which is why the denial of freedom is an epistemological show-stopper.

I can see the headline now: Similitude Slams Deepak Chopra!

Love it.
