Argument from incredulity. For those who study it an use it their daily lives,probably as much,even greater relevance than philosophy.I see theology being to philosophy as astrology is to astronomy. BUT that's just my opinion.
BUT never get into an argument with a Jesuit. He'll hand you your head.
An an anecdote from the 1950's: Some genius at the BBC (radio) in London thought it would be a great idea to have real debate between an atheist and a Christian.They chose Bertrand Russell and a top Jesuit. (Copleton I think,but I'm not sure) The debate never took place,neither would accept any premise proposed by the other.
PS: Our Hobbit it is no theologian. Although I think Arcanus has had some training,or may just be a very bright autodidact...
