Does Deep Thought Lead to God? Here's a Shallow Answer
#17
RE: Does Deep Thought Lead to God? Here's a Shallow Answer
Unsurprisingly, the prophecy of JHC has come to pass. No Deep, Sophisticated Theological Thoughts have shown up to be discussed.

I suppose if they did, we'd just get more of this:

Quote:The theological exigencies inscribed within its texts are effects of the metonymical placing of extreme formulations throughout the texts. The efficacy of these formulations is in their pressure upon ordinary usage and reference. The pressure of figurations of ultimacy on the pragmatics of discourse is a transvaluation of the ordinary. Formulations and figurations of ultimacy, when metonymically placed in a textual practice, can magnify the already existing fissures of received texts. The differential play of reference extends the witness to that which is other than the text through the incompleteness that is the result of the placement of these formulations. Theological texts explicitly express their internal undecidability. In this sense, theological texts introduce an incommensurability into discursive practices that is an internal trace of the other." —Edmund Standing quoting Theologian, Charles E Winquist

I don't know about you, but when someone talks about metonymical placing of extreme formulations, I gets all horny like. Who wouldn't?
