>>It is possible to deny that there is a God, but it’ seems hardly possible to deny that the question whether there is a God is important; for the answer to this question makes the greatest possible difference to everything in the world. Therefore Theology is concerned with everything in the world; and must be of supreme importance<<

Ummm... no.

Now let's see
>>It is possible to deny that there is a God<< A fact, yes
>>but it’ seems hardly possible to deny that the question whether there is a God is important<< Not a fact, but an opinion. But I agree
>>Therefore Theology is concerned with everything in the world; and must be of supreme importance<<

No! because you state theology isn't concerned with whether there is a god - assumes there is. So it's only really important IF there's a god.

Also, a more general point - the article seems to confuse theology (talkin about god) with Christian Theology (talking about one religion's idea of god). The article seems to go from one to the other

Thanks for your comments.
Can I please ask you to read the other comments on the the other 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.
Thanks again,
