This level does not breed "duty based" ethics, or does it breed critical thinking.<BR/><BR/>Christian theology for the most part has been a justification of understanding "a way of life"...and depending on the Protestant denomination's belief, determines how that is intprepreted. <BR/>Catholicism is another structuring after authority of the Church...The Jews understood themselves as "God's people". But, if God's people are the persecuted, then, isn't theology really a way to affrim value to those "outside the scope of political and social power"? <BR/><BR/>Theology should never be used to affirm one's superiority over another, but it has...and continues to do so, justifying it is God's name.Angie Van De Merwehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12617299120618867829noreply@blogger.com
