A Conversation for Theology: The Academic Subject

"The only truly serious questions are ones that even a child can formulate. Only the most naïve of questions are truly serious."
I like your point here, but you express it too bluntly, and it makes you seem pompous. The questions raised by Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle are extremely serious, as are those raised by Althusser's crtitique of Marx, but they are not naive, and children are not very good at formulating them. Perhaps you could rephrase this point to emphasise that you're talking about theological questions; at the moment you appear to be overly certain in your belief that only theological questions (as opposed to scientific or philosophical questions) are serious. As the previous respondent mentioned, you have not really demonstrated that theology is the most important thing we can discuss; it's only important IF you believe in God.

Thanks for your comments.
Can I please ask you to read the other comments on the PR thread, then re-submit yours on the end.
Sorry if this is a trouble to you, but it is better for me to answere several postings at once in the same place.
Also it helps both of us to sing from the same sheet when citing other people comments in PR.
Thanks again,
Suggestion.
